So E3 is coming in the next few weeks, it’s pretty exciting! We all know that Infinite will be there, and this is super exciting for what they’re gonna show. Something that I think will happen is that Microsoft will announce that the game will be cross-gen. You can play it on Xbox One and PC, but they will reveal that you can also play it on the brand new, next-gen Xbox consoles coming next year!! Would be really cool to see them announce the next Xbox with Halo, in fact I can see them actually do that.What’d you think, would this get you pumped?

I have always believed it will be announced for all consoles and pc. However, it won’t get me pumped for the game. I need to see the game, I want info on monetisation etc etc. I’m eager to see what they announce but I’ll keep my hype in check, especially after Halo 5.
Pretty sure the traditional concept of generations is over and we are now in PC-esque era of consoles where we get occasional hardware updates with regular updates to one unified OS. Eventually some hardware will become obsolete much like how it works with smartphones.
Same boat as eviltedi though: I need to see the game and its features (or lack thereof in the case of microtransactions/lootboxes) before I get excited about anything else. The Xbox One has had a constant stream of unfinished and buggy games that never start with or end up receiving any sort of polish. If I’m honest, the only triple-a game for Xbox One to this point that got me extremely hyped and 100% lived up to that hype with no major letdowns was Doom (2016).

I think this is pretty spot on. Microsoft was pretty adamant last year about no one gets left behind policy. It will most likely run the same OS for every future console release similar to how the One, S, and X currently perform.
I agree. Even if the next xbox comes a year later than the game I can easily see them getting it on that platform as soon as it launched. No doubt Infinite will be an XB1/PC/XB2 game.

This isn’t the case anymore. Industry insiders confirmed there’s next-gen consoles. Also, Phil Spencer said they’re making the next Xbox consoles, not Xbox One. So no, the idea of no more generations is false, we’re still getting generations, and the next gen is coming next year.

What I’m saying is that “next gen” means something different now than what it used to. There’s no practical reason (profits for MS and ease of use for consumers) to not use the same or similar OS and make a bunch of games unplayable on the new console. Hence, the new consoles will be significantly more powerful and will play current games on a new console out of the box. However, new games may or may not be compatible with older consoles (ie., OG Xbox One). You know, exactly how smartphones have done it for years now.

Exactly, at least Microsoft is saying that this next-gen Xbox and Xbox One will not be restricted due to the new generation. Though I imagine later on in the next-gen Xbox’s life will have games that simply won’t work on Xbone. Though I imagine that’ll be a while after it launches.
