No you didn't answer, you evaded. Because you do know that Phil isn't telling the truth. If older HW didn't hold back newer HW then you wouldn't even need minimum specs and a Pentium 2 would run games. And of course Phil doesn't define what is the "weak PC".

For all the scalability in the world there is still a limit on how much you can cut before it falls apart and also that base level needs to run every single function of the game (unless of course you make two very different versions like is the case of Fifa Legacy editions) so whatever you decide as minimun and how "loaded" it is makes the limit of what you better version will have.

Tools and engines improve during the gen. So when devs improve their tools the older HW suddenly becomes what hold down the newer HW?

You just couldn't reply with yes or no right? Or do you want to try again.

No I can’t reply with a yes or no because I have common sense and know it’s not black and white. Hope that helps. Again, I answered your question, it just wasn’t the answer you are hoping for. 

So you understand that tools and engines improve as a generation goes on, so why can you not understand that a game being feasible for cross gen at the start of the gen might not be feasible years into the gen? It’s hilarious, you’re literally sitting there reaching the same conclusion I am but because you want to play console warz you can’t accept my answer as legit. Jeebus lol

Thanks for finally admitting that a weaker/older hardware holds down what is possible on newer hardware even if you had to be roundabout to protect Phil.
