You do realize that "gens are over" means forward compatibility right? Its going to shock you when in 2020/2021 MS releases an XB2 whose games can't run on the XB1/XB1x (and that will be the end of this generations are over nonsense). Hence why i said you are setting yourself up for disappointment. |
I think we have a disconnect between what we think are generations. And using compatibility as a standpoint is just off. There are consoles that support software emulation, or hardware emulation that are considered previous gen and next gen, respectively. All I'm saying is the chronological generations are done, there won't be a collective 9th gen, or 10th gen, as like I said, we don't even want to acknowledge Nintendo Switch as 9th gen. It's not a mid hardware upgrade, it's an entirely new device.
There were features of the 32X (4th) that wouldn't be available until 5th gen (without integrated chips) and yet it was still considered a 4th gen console. So using features as a way to quantify is never solid either. I just think it's silly to put consoles in a box of a generation now.
