Xbox Series X's cross-gen approach is robbing players of the next-gen thrill

Of course it can be interpreted different ways. You can read the entire quote or watch the entire interview and take everything said and look at it logically in its entirety or you can chop it up and only quote one sentence that supports your narrative and you get an entirely different interpretation. Of course, why would someone who claims to be optimistic take such an approach? Who knows.

I'm not being pessimistic, it's just common sense. Sure, a lot of things can scale on the gpu side. But ask yourself this. Did Sony's tech demo prove that the SSD isn't just in there for fun and giggles? And if so, can developers really use the ssd, the way Epic showed in that demo, when they also have to make their game run on a platform that doesn't have a SSD? 

For starters Sony didn’t need to prove the SSD wasn’t there for “fun and giggles”. Everyone has known for years that SSD tech is great for games and can make big differences. Where the debate has been going on since the Cerny talk was whether super fast SSD speeds can make up for weaker hardware.

That said, yes, of course devs can use the demo showcased on lesser hardware? It’s designed to scale all the way down to tablets and phones.
