Will original Xbox one owners be screwed over with Microsoft’s new release strategy?

what makes you think its a 4k disc
I've been seeing images like this pop up over the last couple days , but the original Xbox one consoles don't play 4k discs. So will they just be shit out of luck for new releases?
Waiting for xbox killed my family posts
I'm confused, what about the box indicates the game is shipping on a UHD Blu-ray instead of a standard Blu-ray?
No they won't. The Xbox one will play all the same games as the one X. Dont expect to see series X and one x only games.
No.
I am more concerned about those next-gen-versions. Because these games are made for standard PS4 and Xbox One. The "enhancements" won't make them feel like next-gen games. And it seems like we will get an awful lot of cross-gen games instead of true next-gen games for a while.

They've already said some of the games they showed yesterday will be xbox series x only
Please stop
i get now what you were trying to say - there is be no games that are xbox one x and xbox series x only games and wont work on xbox one
What good is higher storage capacity when like 5 games will fill your hard drive anyways?
The Wii U thing was a self-inflicted wound on Nintendo's part, but I'm not seeing anything similar here. The game literally says it works on Xbox One. As far as we know the game does, indeed, work on all Xbox Ones. Where's the actual confusion?
The entire point of Smart Delivery is that you don't have to buy specific SKUs for your console of interest. Devs are going to put baseline Xbox One information on the physical disc, and have you download everything else.
Increased resolution, framerate, HDR, better textures, LOD, and effects, along with lower load times, will be the minimum enhancements for games that have genuine next gen versions.
Next gen exclusives (of which several have already been announced for both consoles) will obviously be able to take further advantage of the SSDs and exclusive graphical features.
That's not what's happening?

Why invest in 4k disc manufacturing when everyone can just download the game with their unlimited data caps?
He meant there won't be games exclusive only to the Series X and Xbox One X.
I'm interested to see console faceoffs though between Series X, Xbox One X and Xbox One S

Because devs can create bigger games, and fit these bigger games onto a disc with a higher storage capacity?
Buying a Series X exclusive for a One. Other way around isn't an issue thanks to BC.
4K Blu-ray is a specific format. Blue ray playing a 4K game isn't.
But then I would assume the box art would not say it works on Xbox One? Like that black stripe at the top would just say "Xbox Series X" and would not also say "Xbox One."
If someone bought a Series X and these games, but they don't connect it to online (for whatever reason/bad internet)... they will only be playing in Xbox One quality on their Series X Machines? (I'm sure the system upscales it to 4K however)
I think I understand why some publishers might not be for this approach, even if it is pro consumer.
Also does this give us an understanding of which cross-gen games lead on last gen consoles?

A 4K blu ray disc can't be played on a regular blu ray drive right?
Games should be capped to 50 gigs anyways. With both consoles having less than a terabyte of usable hard drive space I really don't want to see massive 200gb giants. I thought a lot of the benefit of these faster hard drives was that it allowed them to reduce the amount of redundant assets anyways, so games should end up getting smaller this gen if devs actually try.

Are you under the impression that a native 4k game has to be pressed on a 4k blu ray disc?
People even on here are even saying One instead of Series by mistake and we're hyper engaged with this shit. You have more faith in people than me, that's for sure.
I can see they making next gen only disc versions with higher capacity discs plus the next gen version content preloaded, but for sure they won't have the xbox one label in that case lol
