Everybody knows what real next gen games means man. We've never had a new console generation where we didn't get them. But have we ever heard any console maker say "Here's our brand new next gen console... But your old one will run the same games so you don't really need to buy it". 

I know MS breaking tradition. Change is usually met with uncertainly and skepticism. We used to the idea of console makers abandoning their player base day 1 next gen. Not a early adopter? Too bad wait till you ready to make the jump. Nintendo did a great thing with BOTW, not abandoning their WiiU crowd and showed a great game speaks louder then the game having a version somewhere else. If the Series X can show next gen improvements then who cares if late adopters get a inferior version?

Their method is 100% more consumer friendly and you know it. Still the irony is pretty huge considering their top launch title, Spiderman MM, is very likely a cross gen style game with many assets from the original PS4 game, with next gen facelifts for PS5. The audacity on you to have this kind of double standard. 

Umm.. what? 

BOTW Was a Wii U title from beginning. It wasn't developed for Switch then ported to the Wii U, it was the other way around...

You either choose to be more consumer friendly to your last gen console base or consumer friendly to your early adopters. I can see why MS is doing it this way because the XB1 didn't get anywhere near the support it deserved during it's lifetime, so they probably felt it wouldn't be right to stop support for it straight away.
