Sure, doesn’t mean Xbox won’t show games that fall outside the cross gen window as well. Not saying it’s you but certain people forget every gen that year 1 games don’t produce the same results as mid gen games. It’s not really accurate to compare a launch game to a year 2 title 

Of course early games typically get surpassed in visuals later on. I can also totally understand if people want to hold out with buying a next gen console till the big titles start coming out. My only problem is that MS is purposely not looking to push the next gen envelope. 

Phil can say whatever he wants but we all know the Xone will hold Series X 1st party games back, just like any cross-gen title will. The question is really what will happen after that 2 year period? The 4Tflops Lockhart seems to be real. And yes, it won't be holding Series X games back. But that doesn't mean focusing on 4k and 120fps, just to make sure those games won't be held back on Lockhart, is the most efficient way to use the Series X hardware. 

How many 1st party games are we talking about here that will be held back?  Is it only large RPG's or open-world games that are AI heavy? Of those large open-world games how many are being launched in that 1-2 year period?  To me it looks like there won't be hardly any games being held back by weaker hardware.  This appears to be a non issue to me.  I expect to see better visuals, more stable environments, better frames per second, and stunning gameplay from both systems.  On day 1 both consoles I'm sure will impress.  But please tell me how many 1st party games will be held back in the first year?, 2nd year?
