Wasn't Botw a launch title, just like Halo? If it wasn't for those games, the Switch probably wouldn't be as successful as it is now and without Halo we probably wouldn't even have a Xone. We will have to wait and see what kind of leap we'll get next gen, but I obviously have higher expectations then some people. If it's just gonna be the same games we got now in 4k and 60fps, I'd be pretty disappointed.

I'm sorry to tell you this but I think you will be disappointed because that is exactly what BOTH COMPANIES will deliver for next gen.
I mean, try to imagine God of War at native 4K, 60fps, with full Raytracig and HDR support. Those simple settings right there would eat up at least 2.5x the power of a PS4 pro, minimum. Even if it was built from the ground up with next in mind.

So yeah, for next gen in both camps that's what I'm expecting: Native 4K, 60fps, better textures, Raytracing, HDR and faster loading times. And I think even the loading time thing is being overhyped by both companies.

Well I pray to the gaming gods that you're wrong man. People keep talking about 4k but console games aren't pc games. They're meant be be played on a tv, sitting 13ft away from the screen. Most people won't even notice the difference and native 4k would be a total waste of resources. Therefore I think we will see most games in 1440p or maybe even 1080p, with story driven games in a locked 30fps and multiplayer games in 60. I mean just look at how many games on Xone are still in 720/900p.

Just like this gen, we'll probably see a mid-gen ps5 Pro that does do native 4k. With MS I have no idea but I got a feeling they'll launch at least 4 different types of Xbox SKU's before the next console cycle is over. The Series X is obviously not their main focus, though.
