"All of our games… will play up and down that family of devices" - Xbox's Matt Booty ends the next-gen exclusive as we know it - MCV/Develop


As a gamer, I obviously don't like this. There is nothing more magical than next gen exclusives around a console launch even if they kinda suck. It sounds like Xbox Series X is being marketed identically to Xbox One X instead of as a traditional next gen console.


It will be very interesting to see how the year unfolds. Xbox One, Xbox One X, and Xbox Lockhart will need to stop being supported eventually so I wonder how that will go. Xbox One X was marketed to play next gen games so will the base Xbox One be dropped first or will Xbox One and Xbox One X drop support in unison? Lockhart has similar strength to Xbox One X according to rumors but with next gen architecture it could potentially stay supported till the end of the gen.
