It's a new gen with new consoles. XB1X wasn't upgraded to XBSS. It's a new console, even though it's basically taking the place of the XB1X. Even if you wanted to look at it like it was a more direct upgrade, think of where the XB1X should be priced this holiday based on it's past pricing, and look at it's specs vs XBSS. You're already getting a much more valuable console as it is. How much more does MS have to add in?

You get it backward.

I`m not saying XBSS is replacing X1X, but it is more capable than it so getting the same version of X1S isn`t cutting it. It really does seem like the console was totally capable of doing it but they decided to not. Guess it will be one of those cases where "you can't simply turn a flip"

Well what was XB1 technically capable of that it didn't do either? Did it have BC at launch? Just because it could, doesn't mean it should. There's always tomorrow. There are plenty of products in all sectors that simply need slight changes or unlocks to allow for full use. People themselves are capable of much more than they typically output. Just depends on what you want to offer vs someone or something else.
