What console have they abandoned?How can u be future proof with a Microsoft Gaming console when they will clearly abandon the console if they lose again, they abandoned OG Xbox... and now Xbox One will get the same treatment but you won't say its abandoned because your old games play in your new Xbox Scorpio ...but try to play Scorpio GAMES on Xbox One or the Scorpio VR games on one and
Meanwhile PS4 VR plays on PS4 PRO and PS4 and Pro games play on Ps4..because its a upgrade and not a forced console reboot..![]()
Xbox and 360 has good runs.
The X one had blunders but the entire move of Scorpio is predicated on making sure an XOne owners investment regarding software is not for naught and they'll be protected from a divided online experience.
I'm copping the Scorpio but my gear of not being able to hand with my circle who won't be as proactive and decide to stay on X1/X1S will not be prohibited from gaming with me.
Where is the abandonment?
Your wrong in how you're trying to classify their move.

Matter fact my previous assertion that they are prepping Xbox live cross play to include an ecosystem encompassing Scorpio/PC UWP/X1 is the move that is the complete opposite of abandonment.
If you have PC and I have X1, we now can play Gears 4 together/against each other. That's a big move no.matter how you look at it.
