Kind of interesting..

Imagine playing Gears of War 3 on your Xbox 360 it looks and plays good right? Well imagine that the year after it comes out you go out to buy the next Xbox and it looks even better, it plays even better. Features in the new controller are utilized with the game, the graphics do not only look sharper, but the draw distance is better, the speed is better, framerate, and there are even new features, perhaps even levels via DLC for the game on the third-generation Xbox. GoW3 is of course an example of what this could mean, past the forward-compatibility information, Xbox Evolved has not been given any other information about the next generation of Xbox.

Honestly it easier than making it backwards compatible. Its exactly the same a PC games. Games will have low, medium and high detail settings like PC, only it will be automatic based on the console gen you have. Quite easy to implement IMHO and a great idea.

Yeah right... Because every single game developer will know exactly what hardware the next console generation will have 3 or 4 years in the future, so they can adjust the shaders and everything right now. Fucking BS.
This was the same argument with many PC games, especially Crysis was supposed to look better when the hardware gets available. Now looking at it it was all a joke.

I absolutely loathe this idea
We'll end up with lazier programmers not squeezing as much juice from the hardware
