And yet Xbox One X upscaled OG Xbox games and 360 games in 4k because of work Microsoft did.

Only for select games. Ones with specific 4K patches. It's not like you can stick any Xbox or Xbox 360 game in the X1X and play it in upscaled 4K.

If you actually think they're going to release 4K patches for every game from this generation, you're in for disappointment.

At very best, you SHOULD be able to count on the vast majority of X1 and PS4 games working natively on the next systems. But actually improving underlying visual fidelity will have a dramatic variability in terms of performance hit.

Dude I've literally said that the only reason it exists at all is due to work Microsoft is doing. I would have never expected to play my digital copy of Gears 3 from 2010 in 4k for free. I would never have expected to be able to play a 4k copy of Splinter Cell after buying a copy for $2 from a second hand store. Hell back in 2013 I never expected the Xbox One to have BC at all. This stuff has only ever been done on PC before this. Any game they do this for goes above and beyond what has been done in the past.

I'm not expecting it work across every game but because of how Microsoft has handled it this generation I expect their efforts to be better than PlayStation. Who have only sold remasters and enhanced PS2 games that don't check if you own them on your PSN account.
