Are PS4 And Xbox One Finally Obsolete?

Well, here we are 4 years into the current console generation’s lifecycle still debating the pros and cons of cross-generational releases. It was to be expected that Microsoft and Sony would extend their grace period for players still playing on aging hardware given the early supply issues both companies endured for their current-gen consoles, but this long into the lifecycle with new games releasing on decade-old hardware there’re accusations floating around that developers simply don’t care about current-gen.

Of course, this isn’t true. Fact is, there is still substantial player bases for both Microsoft and Sony’s older generation consoles – we’re talking millions – so it’d make terrible business sense for both tech giants to abandon these players. The question isn’t so much are PS4 and Xbox One obsolete, more, is their substantial player bases stifling creativity in the industry?
