If the XboxScorpio Rumors are true...

I don't want to go off-topic but I actually find this quite troubling... I say the following having only upgraded to an Xbox One last year.

Console generations have always been about 8-10 years.

That's simply untrue.

NES-SNES: 6 years

SNES-N64: 5 years

PS1-PS2: 5 years

PS2-PS3: 6 years

Xbox (original)-Xbox 360: 4 years

That's an average of just over 5 years between consoles. This last console cycle (at 8 years) just happened to be painfully long.

I really don't get what all the whinging is about. Nvidia releases the specs for the 1080 (priced at $600) and people are excited about it. There are rumors Microsoft will be releasing a console 4 times more powerful than Xbox One, likely priced in the $500 range, and people are despairing that their 4 year old console will be out of date and threaten to migrate to PC. Really? How do you think the guys that just dropped $1000 on a Titan X were feeling when they found out Nvidia is releasing a card with the same performance for less than half the price? If that's the world you want to live in, fine, but don't think you'll be any better off or spend less money to stay current on a PC than you would with a console.

PS4 Neo < Xbox One Scorpio < Potato [yesnod]

Tricky to say, like with PS4 neo, it is kinda like going "oh btw all you that have a PS4, it is now 'old' and you can get a 'better' version here, for full price, but you can totally still 'use' your old PS4"
I understand that consoles generations can't be as long as in the past because technology is increasing each year in leaps and bounds.
But at the very least Microsoft and Sony needs to stand by some sort of upgrade option.

I purchased the elite version of the console after having the original for a while. Wanted the controller after hearing so many good things about it,got a very good deal via amazon.de. The console is marginally better but is still the same really, plays the same games ect. The controller on the other hand is far superior and should have been the controller Microsoft produced for all xbox one's

I will definately not be buying another for at least 5 years, they can make all the changes they want.

I also like sitting in my living room playing the game and a noisey PC is not the way to go.
