The same would go for the X in the future. Just because it’s technically possible doesn’t mean developers would want to release a sku with their games playing/looking that way by default. I suppose we do have Panic Button’s Switch ports as counter-examples. But the Switch is still very much an alive platform due to Nintendo’s positioning and handheld approach. The rest of the industry will inevitably leave old hardware behind a year or two after the next gen begins. Development cycles, for better or worse, are largely generation driven for big studios. my pc is not all that great 8350 with a 960gpu I dont have any issues with what ever current gen games I play on it I mostly play RTS's on my pc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a current gen machine. It helps that the CPU was older, and not the other way around. Maybe if your parts were a few years older and you claimed the same thing, you’d have a point about the X’s future relevancy. But that’s just not being realistic.
