Why would you have to do that?

It happened with the PS4. All those remasters.

what's bad about them?

They control you.  They bend you to their will.  The make you buy them again and again.

Next gen needs to be even closer to PCs.

Not at all. Should not even be a potential bullet point on a PS5 list.

I wish we had free will to decide what to buy, but clearly thats not the case. :(

Well, you won that debate.

I feel if consoles are gonna stick to current architecture, just keep upgrading. It sounds like new gen is an excuse not support the old hardware.

that doesnt stop PC software from not supporting older hardware, at some point you have to make the cut. I even doubt you gonna see Xbox One and Xbox Scorpio support at the same time for long, the performance difference is way too much 

I understand in 5 years maybe developers will want to cut support of the OG X1 and PS4 for AAA. But those OG consoles can still handle a lot of lower spec stuff. For example, many games low end games on X1 and PS4 would work fine on 7th gen consoles but its a lot of work to bring those games to very different hardware.

The route MS is going makes me think OG X1 support may be cut off, but Scorpio and the X1 will still be able to share games.

While the potential life of PS4 Pro might be cut short because its held back by OG PS4.

Well isn't vanilla PS4 closer to PS4 Pro than Xbox One to Scorpio? I'm not sure how the Pro would be stagnated because of vanilla PS4. Scorpio seems like a big jump from the Xbox One, with the more powerful hardware and all.

see Rafies answer, Sony has more balance with the Vanilla PS4 and Pro. MS on the other hand has the strongest and the weakest console at the same, it wont be fun to devolop games for both

That is a very fair point to consider.

The disparity between X1 and PS4 isn't that big, its mostly impacted resolution.

This isn't Xbox vs PS2.

Cerny just subtly confirmed the PS5. This is great
