Its not meant to be. The scorpio is closer to a full next gen console.

Nope. They are not leaving the Xbox One behind. You will be able to play every game your buddy can on Xbox One. Whether a dev wants to cut out the larger portion of the Xbox community to fully utilize the power of the scorpio is up to the dev, not microsoft.
-
Considering the power of the Scorpio its only a matter of time
-
No, it isn't. Microsoft is [b][i][u]not[/u][/i][/b] making it to replace the Xbox One. They are all in the same gen.
-
same generation yes. but all signs point to business model switch. they're going into the PC market with low-medium tier HTPCs with a locked down configuration and a locked down operating system and no hardware modularity and a brand you trust, along with marketing so you don't realize what they're selling isn't a true game console in the traditional sense but more of a "pc". so what they're going to do is multi-tiered incrementalism and planned obsolescence. release a new generation of hardware in the same "family" of systems that is better than the old one yet has compatible software, eventually make the low tier options go away, and release a new "high tier" hardware configuration with the old one becoming the new low tier every few years. this is how they evolve the systems. it's a paradigm shift from the current way consoles have true generations.

Edited by Psychic Donuts: 6/29/2016 7:46:12 AMIt could happen. We are heading that way. If we do, I would only hope that it is clean to know when a low-end console stops getting supported instead of on PC when you know once it already is too old.
-
I think the point is to ditch the console market's "generation" model and move to an environment of upgrading your hardware when you're ready to, rather than whenever your hardware will stop being supported.
-
That is a tricky game that most console only players would like to avoid. Then again, we seem like we are heading that way. If it ends up that console gaming will turn into that, I hope it does it cleanly and smoothly unlike PC where you don't really know your hardware is out-of-date until it already is.
-
uh, you know when your hardware is out of date on PC....
-
Yeah you will. I can still run things pretty well with my GPUs but I have to check the requirements on game to find out. That is simple. My point is that one day there will be a game I can't run, then another, then it will slowly start happening more. There is no 'your PC is out-of-data' notification. On console, the next generation coming out was your notification to upgrade.[spoiler]I really rustled your jimmies. You have sent me 4 or 5 replies now each on different topics.[/spoiler]

uh bruh, you'll get system error messages when you star running out of space. [spoiler]the flood really went to shit, super boring now[/spoiler]
-
When running out of space? As in harddrive space? What does that have to do with anything?
-
This is exactly what baffles me. As you said most console players want to avoid this "endless generation" So... that's kind of a massive problem for Microsoft and/or Sony depending on how on board they are with this. How is this idea supposed to succeed when most console players do not want it to? I can see it working in the way Nintendo's handheld strategy has been modeled but that's about it. Consumers expect all games for their console to run on their console and they expect their console to have a lifespan of at least (and I'm probably being generous) five years.
-
Five years is what I expect out of a console. I'm fine with the 'endless generation' system but as long as the hardware lifespan isn't as short as PC hardware lifespan.
