It's extremely unlikely though that the base Xbox One is going to be forwards compatible with the next Xbox, it is already struggling to run current gen multiplats like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Just Cause 4. For that kind of cross-compatibility would require that Xbox Two would be severely held back. Graphics may scale, but CPU side less so, especially given how slow and weak the Jag in the Xbone was... in 2013.

Or it would require the cloud computing which was promised to the X1 back after it launched with clearly lacking hardware. By the time the next Xbox rolls around the cloud could be ready to rain those bonus xbox360s into the base model X1!

remember that... good times.

Lulz. Seriously though, if Xbone is already beginning to struggle with current gen games I can't see it being forwards compatible with the next gen Xbox, especially when the leap in CPU power in likely to be gargantuan given how weak Jaguar was and how far Ryzen has improved over it in the intervening years.
