It already does matter!

The 1X isn't a generational console because according to MS the notion of generations is no longer applies to their business model. What you say doesn't matter in the long run though specifically because MS built the 1X to be Forwards Compatible with their next console. Therefore, the 1X is not part of this generation because MS has no generations anymore; Your games will always be yours, always be playable on the console you own, and constantly see upgrades to take advantage of the HW it's on.

Let's discuss the article though:
"...if a developer allocates 1.5ms for the sky, trueSKY can do (on Xbox One X) almost four times more work (of PS4)..." The 1X is four times more efficient than PS4 for this task with only 43% more power, which means the 1X is incredibly efficient in addition to being more powerful. It has newer HW so the GPU power alone doesn't tell the whole story. This is what happens when one company chooses only to extend current generation with mostly overclocked current generation hardware, while the other utilizes contemporary architecture to make new hardware that will still play the older games.

Why can't people like you see that MS is already demonstrating their intent to do away with generations anyways? It's not that hard if you'd just look. They have original Xbox BC and 360 BC going so all the games can play on one console. Then there are 360 games getting X1 enhanced because, "no one gets left behind". It seems like the intent of MS at this point is to continue merger their PC and Xbox divisions, and I wouldn't be surprised if one day the Xbox could even play PC games too.

Seriously though, why keep talking about "this gen" at all when it's been obvious the whole generation who's won? You really can't let Xbox be better at anything, can you?

You mean more Indie developer's trying to promote their new game via gamingbolt...plz seriously wake up
