They can't magically just make the 1X a new gen just because though....wow...
Dont know whats more amazing, the big PS4 number or the low XBO number...
Gotta agree with others, and I mentioned it a few times. Wouldnt be surprised if MS made the One X next gen.
That would probably help get it more sales vs calling it a mid gen refresh with that price.
It's "only" 50% more powerful than a Pro, is based on the same CPU with a clock boost, and it straight plays the XB1 games.
At that price, trying to re-label it would just draw confusion from buyers imo.
At this point, they just need to ride the next 2-3 years the best they can and not lose money in the process.
Also make a tough decision as to break with the regular console pattern with gens and do something different (basically go mostly software and services, delegating hardware as PC-like to a Dell or similar and just use Xbox branding) or just carry on with console gens and risk a full repeat of what happened with PS4.
