If all next gen xbox games also have to run on a current-gen xbox one for 1-2 years, then that is disastrous.
MS should really clarify because that would be pretty sucky news for gaming, especially for advancements with cpu and hardrive upgrades. The graphics card would be able to scale things to 4K but the games would not benefit from other huge upgrades, or really produce crazy next-gen games.
That would be a massive set back to gaming. That would be a critical hit.
Third parties would have to make a choice between making sure their game can also run on a current-gen xbox. Or, not sell games on xbox for 1-2 years into a new-gen launch. That's a terrible choice to make. It would be really bad either way.
