So it being a hybrid should hold the benefits of console and handheld but on the downside just be negated because you can choose what you want to call?
They don't really blur the line. All games playable on X1 is on X1X and vice-versa, they are still same gen but with different quality. Not much different than on previous gen with different machines running same game on different capability. Switch is a NVidia Shield, so? |
If the Xbox division wanted to, they could have easily released games that could only be played on the Xbox One X. That is how big of a difference it is to the base Xbox One.
The PS3/360/Wii era did not have an updated console of this fidelity, nor did the PS2/Original Xbox/Gamecube.
The N64 had a ram boost which could be added on to any N64. Same with the Sega Genesis, all of its hardware upgrades could be used on the base model.
The Xbox One X could be an entirely new console, if it weren't for the Xbox division's decision to keep supporting the base Xbox One.
As for your point stating that the Switch is a custom NVidia Shield - what was your point? You just state "Switch is a NVidia Shield, so?" without adding context. What is your point in saying this? Are you saying that the Switch isn't 9th gen, because the NVidia shield exists as an 8th gen product, or?
