Yeah, but just because nobody's said it doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.Clearing the Eye said:

PCs from 1995 can run modern games. Albeit on lowest settings, but it is done.Scow2 said:
Game devs always make games for the lowest common denominator: ATM that's consoles. If this is implemented, it will be the non-upgraded consoles.
Will it look as good?
No. If you cared about that though, you'd buy a PC as that is where games look best. If you don't care about having lower graphical settings, odds are you'll be able to play most games released even after hardware updates on the oldest system.
I normally would bypass comments like this, but I'm getting sick of posts that either state or imply that you must always have the absolute latest hardware, and spend all your money on that, then tout it as a downside of PC gaming. Its just simply not true.
I'm a console gamer and I would rather they didn't implement this.
We've all had the argument, PC vs Console and I'm sure we all know which side of the line we would fall on.
There are however a few irrefutable points though that seperate the factions.
PCs allow mods and patches for games like Skyrim and also allow players to use keyboard and mouse peripherals.
Consoles are basic gaming platforms that offer a wide range of games. Because they don't allow for mods etc that are not approved on the systems you will not see lightsabers in Halo or NyanCat in C.O.D. but neither will you have anybody saying that they lost a game because the other guy had a better deck.
So what does this mean?
Well I had a friend that missed a puzzle piece on Secret worlds because he had his graphics set lower.
Halo Wars sucked because RTS are not designed for consoles.
Games of Halo 2 were plagued by kids modding.
Throughout my consoles lifespan I can choose my game based on my tastes and desires and never need to consider whether my Xbox has a good enough graphics card or CPU.
I'm sure Microsoft are considering things like this and will likely abandon the project eventually.
My own suspicion is that MS are cockblocking others from developing their own versions by having legal grounds to launch patents lawsuits at a later date.

Lol, wait what!? I thought that the main reason that developers prefer to make games for consoles is the fact that they only have to optimize for one hardware configuration. And if this console is like this, why wouldn't the gamer just get a PC? Don't lie to me about ease of use, if you don't know how to install and play a game on a PC, you shouldn't be here. If you say PC's are more expensive and need to be upgraded frequently, that argument is now null and void. If you say it's better to play in the living room, you haven't yet seen my setup. Okay I'm done, kill me now with your comments.
