I just hope the current gen versions don't impact the next gen versions and they're able to fully utilise the extra horsepower.
Maybe some exclusives will be next gen only and there's rumours of Battlefield Bad Company 3 being next gen only but I feel next gen only will be few and far between for a while.
It's difficult to tell.
When PS4 and XBO launched neither were backwards compatible, so publishers needed to ensure there wasn't a complete drop off when people ditched their old consoles for new ones.
PS5 and XB2 will be backwards compatible, so there's 2 choices...
1. Release same game for both current and next-gen systems
2. Release game for current gen with enhanced graphics when played on next-gen systems
I'm looking forward to playing PS4 games on PS5 for the "Pro" enhancements.
