And you acting superior... Will CGI have to call you again?

Yes X360 and PS3 were able to handle PORTS because devs done it. PS2 could run Fifa 14, and if dev wanted they could make Fifa 18 on PS2.

Still show you that the fact that console sold 10M isn't guarantee that they will keep supporting it (160M PS2 were dropped as well), it doesn't have to do only with similar architeture. MS talk about being generationless and X1X keeping support for next gen is same as X1 (unless you want MS to go back on their promise that X1 and X1X will have same games) cross-gen will go there as it have always been, but your premise is that they will keep getting on X1X even after crossgen is no more, for which you have no evidence.

But I sure love all your technical knowledge, which you have shown plenty on this thread, and the slider to downscale games will solve everything very easy and fine.

Don, you seem very confused on the matter. Do you know what No generation Leaps mean?

Example - Those 5m X1X owners can still play next gen games however those games will be downscaled much like how PC games have settings that get lowered to play on older hardware.

Also devs wont need to accommodate for the X if its compatible with next gen meaning basically they just release next gen games and they quickly port it over to X with very little effort (eg DX12). Those 5m sales add onto the next gen sales of the X2 which will add more gamers availble to play the games in the ecosystem.

If you still dont understand, in other words the X sales will count as X2 sales. 

Thats if MS go that route, theres no comfirmation they will, however no gen leaps and MS releasing a X2 upgrade sounds more likely to me.

Preformance isnt the issue with the X, it will be all about the compatibility, X2 will most likely use UWP, DX12 and X86 which will mean X1 and X2 can talk the same language.

Whats CGI got to do with our debate? Haha *scratches head*
