Can't see how it wouldn't. The X hurt XBO sales, and that was a mid-gen upgrade. Announcing you have a next gen console, that sounds like it'll hit next year, has got to do something. They're going to have to perma-drop to $199 soon to combat that.

The funny part is that most of VGC assumed X1X was revealed more than a year in advance as a counter to PS4Pro, but in the end it probably hurt X1 sales much more than PS4 or PS4Pro.

This! 10 times this! The "end of generation" bullshit will bite than in the ass!

Will be curious to see how long X1 and X1X will keep after Scarlet releases.
Because as you said cross gen certainly will happen. But for X1/X1X to be truly forward compatible (end of generation) you should only need to insert game made for next gen on it and it would run normally, no need for 2 versions (The patches for PS4Pro/X1X are only needed because some games didn't finish when releasing, but you would still run same disc on both versions of the same platform).

Do you wanna make a bet? Sure, we are going to see crossgen, and perhaps you will be able to use a X1X and X1S console to "stream Xbox scarlet games", but "True support and development for X1X is not happening".
Microsoft "end of console generations" is bullshit. Soon X1X will be just another console outdated.

MS could keep X1X and even X1 compatible to Scarlet, as long as they keep same architeture, which considering the CPU will be even worse than they just dropping both behind and pretending they never said anything about end of gen.
But if they really aren't compatible you won't see any fan that defended this coming to admit they were wrong.
