Yet to be seen, but the leaks indicate that is not the case.

It sounds like there won't be any Neo only titles.

I'm not yet sure how I feel about generation-less iterations. Maybe it'll work out okay, but I'm not sold yet.
Scorpio looks like a beast, tho.

Kinda no different than releasing destiny on 360 and X1.

I can't believe it.
MS fucked up the XB1 cause they couldn't get their message straight.
Now 3 years later and they're doing the exact same shit again.
No one learns from history. Whats next, the Neo comes out for 599 US DOLLARS?

Kind be of impossible when it takes two years to make a game.
Exactly. The longer this forward and backward stuff goes on the better for consumers. Developers will get used to have multiple builds and hedge new gen costs against old gen sales.
MS fucked up by trying to shove Kinect down everyone's throat, pricing high with less powerful hardware and launching without the strength of knock out exclusives. A triple punch of failure all while pissing gamers off by trying to get rid of used resale of games. No single message or marketing campaign could save the xbone. It was doomed to not be the lead console.
In my opinion it's done remarkably well considering everything that's against it. Xbox brand definitely has some hardcore fans.
There is plenty of time for Sony to change their minds. They haven't even announced any details yet.

Lies. I guarantee both new consoles will have something exclusive.

That might be part of the reason they started the Scorpio train so far ahead of release

oo
No the highest price for the Neo was 499 and that was with a cpu upgrade as well.
That could be a delicate process. People outside the hardcore might just say no thanks.
There's still people that haven't bought into this gen, and sales are still increasing.

"No console left behind" will go down as one of the most famous lines ever said at a E3 press conference I feel.
I mean it's a 4 year gen and MS had a 4 year gen with the original Xbox

It's gonna be 399. But u didn't hear that from me. And that's not even the biggest surprise for the Neo.
Didn't the leaks state Sony isn't even allowing Neo exclusive features/modes, etc? Only improved performance/graphics.
Not now, but you guys really think it won't ever happen? The non-4k PS4 will be seen as the inferior PS4 no matter how Sony try to spin things.
They never fooled me in the first place, it was clear this was their plan if this thing was a reality.
So fuck consoles, thanks for all the fun provided all these years but this new iterative model is straight up bullshit.
And I thought they couldn't come up with anything worse than season passes and paid loot packs ...

This right here. That talk about "Beyond Generations" and "no one left behind" is complete BS. Just say we're coming out with a next-gen Xbox One.

As gamers, why on earth wouldn't you want that?! It's like if all XB1 games had to be ported to 360, at some point XB1 games would start to suffer because of it.
But honestly this isn't gonna start happening until two years into Scorpios life, so 2019 .. that's 6 solid years+ of XB1 support.

It's a new console gen. Of course they will.

It's been pretty clear Scirpio is basically Xbox 2 in everything but name. They are moving away from Xbox one
p much now.

Yeah I must have misunderstood. I just remember that rumor years ago that Gears 2 or 3 was going to be forward compatible (at least I recall that term being used there) and run better on whatever the next Xbox was. I must have forgotten the "no console left behind comment folk" are quoting; that's pretty direct.

Definitely OK with this, don't want to be held back by the weaker console and the people who whine about having to upgrade after FOUR years when they drop hundreds of dollars on minuscule, unnoticeable phone upgrades every year.

I don't see how Scorpio can make a push for VR without allowing for Scorpio only games.
Imagine during the keynote where Apple unveiled the iPhone 6s with its new features said, "oh BTW the iPhone 7 is shipping in a year's time which will make the 6s at best undesirable, at worst obsolete." People wear rose colored glasses around the Spencer administration, but this messaging is some Mattricks level stuff.

they're gonna use VR as an excuse to make exclusive aren't they?
It is like Don Mattrick was rehired in the past six months, and nobody noticed.
Would people be pissed if MS came out and said "this is our next gen system, launching late 2017, no BC (like every Xbox before it)?
I'm super confused at the outrage here. They could have done that, instead they're going to be supporting XB1 into next gen much better than they have any other previous console?

Yep they want to move on asap.
The X1 has been a noble failure and I say that as an owner of one. MS want to reset the narrative for next gen. The scorpio allows them to do that.
