If games like Cyberpunk are basically unplayable on XB1, and possibly poor overall quality on PS4, then that would push some more people to jump into next gen asap. Especially if there was a highly affordable next gen console available.

I just don't understand what would make them unplayable. In theory they should just have to scale back the assets and/or resolution to a reasonable point. The idea that the game would get delayed due to a console not being powerful enough just boggles my mind. Yet here we are. 

Bad performance (not unplayable but disruptive) will hurt reception and hurt sales and CDs repution. Obviously nothing crazy dramatic but its believable this would cause a delay for a team who isnt having their hand pushed by a big publisher. Several games in recent memory should have  been delayed a few months to deliver a solid experience for all user bases. Star Wars is one of them.

I don't necessarily believe this news. Particular because the length of delay doesnt sound like optising 1 version of the game, especially not with Xbox being so close to spec to the PS4. So for this to be true either both the OG  PS4/Xbox are struggling at sub 900p resolutions (the game can also be cpu bound) or the delay is unrelated to performance optimisation.
