Here's something to chew on.
If Lockhart is basically an XB1X in terms of performance, perhaps slightly more capable because of updated tech, does that count towards next gen? Would XB1X count towards next gen because of it's performance? Could SNY just take Pro, slap a Ryzen CPU in it, or give the GPU 54CU's, and call it a PS5, even if it still looked like a triple cheeseburger?
Where is the line and when is it crossed exactly?
I do understand why in some ways it would make sense for Series S and X to be counted together, but that leads to future concerns, like what if by chance we get another mid gen XB upgrade? Do all 3 count towards next gen sales at that point? What if they just keep adding letters to Series models for the next couple decades?
I can't say yes or no at this point. Sorta depends on what exactly Lockhart's capabilities are, but even if it outperforms XB1X by a smidgen, I don't know that just because it has updated tech, that it should automatically make it next gen.
