The UI doesn't make it next gen. Scorpio is locked to playing Xbone games. Beyond vr, it won't have games developed for it that Xbone can't according to MS.
By definition, it is a mid gen upgrade. Just like the pro.
Next gen means leaving past gen behind. This is opposite of what pro and Scorpio are designed for.
We don't know this yet. I'm at least expecting exclusive like features for games of some sort of the go right out and say this is exclusive to Scorpio and just not possible on one line.
Most will eat it up of its looking down right impressive and besting even pc offerings etc
Of the software is there and looks like a leap then we may get exclusives, even if the leap isn't there may still get it. It's obviously something they have debated and it worked for them before but I'm not saying this is the case. There is absolutely reasons as to why they may want to support one another two years.
But ask yourself this, the box as it was designed is a failure. A system that was made to run Kinect. Do they want to hold on to it for another two years?
This is where I think no, that makes it six years old and why design the Scorpio to be weighted down two years from now with one?
This is not in the same situation as 4 and pro at all. This has a lot more thought and need put
Obviously we have ms word and I may be very wrong and or can see that possibility but I'm just going to say that Scorpio is a new console and one will pick up a lot of third party titles still not Scorpio will likely be getting first and third party exclusives.
There is always a thin line between how new hardware can push a game and how an aging user base can push a game. Seeing where they will be into late 2018, I'd take my chances on pushing Scorpio and atleast one launch exclusive with promising 2018 exclusives while third party support all for boxes for for the most part
It seems like a mistake of it is like you say, mid gen upgrade to a failed idea and system on ms most true idea.
Imo them saying what they said last year was logistics avoiding backlash til they have things ready to show.
If they do it similar to pro I'll feel a little surprised and that it is a mistake. Hard to say honestly with the s etc
But one thing I believe for sure is that they have even had games they could have shown but haven't in a while.
Hell, for all I know maybe some cancel titles moved to Scorpio and we're cancelled for one. Yeah, that may be crazy but would be neat.
