XBox Boss says that gaming is now "beyond generations"

Phil Spencer's team is losing this console generation badly, so I can see why he'd have a vested interest in getting people to break out of their pre-set thinking about console gaming cycles, but I was still a little surprised when he came straight out with the fact that Scorpio marked the beginning of the end for console generations in gaming.

From GamingBolt:

“Project Scorpio will be the next addition to the Xbox One family and it ultimately is the next step in delivering our vision for the future of gaming beyond generations,” Spencer said.

[...]

"Project Scorpio is a serious inflection point for team Xbox and we are announcing Project Scorpio today to gives our developers and partners to take advantage of that ability now in order to realize their visions for the future and deliver even more great games for you. Today marks the beginning of gaming beyond generations. A future full of choice. All future where can all play without boundaries.”

It’s a bold and ambitious vision, and a dramatic change from how console gaming has been so far.

It's a vision in which there essentially isn't a next console generation, so I guess bold is as good as way as any to describe it. I don't know if it's ambitious, though, so much as realistic. After all, some of us have been talking about this being the last console generation for some time, now.

That's right. I called it. Booyah.
