The Xbox One X - Project Scorpio lives and I am a dumbass for thinking it would be the Xbox 10 S

I agree with that, which is why I talked specifically about their ad and the lineup they advertised within it! I didn’t even mention other console makers as a comparison until that became part of the discussion.

Also, regarding your earlier point about Nintendo and backward compatibility, they have decided to scrap it with Switch (at least as far as we’ve seen so far and I don’t expect that to change) but I have all my Wii stuff on my Wii U and before that I played all my Gamecube stuff on the Wii. GameBoy games played on GameBoy Advance. GameBoy and GameBoy Advance played on the DS. DS played on DSi. DS/DSi games play on 3DS. They did pretty good with that til they changed the entire paradigm to a hybrid portable/home console.
