This scenario best illustrates the concept of generational change. The new version of the console is the next generation of the device, but it still allows for backward compatibility, meaning that games designed for the previous generation can still be used on the new console. This demonstrates a shift or change in technology generations without completely abandoning the previous generation, which is a common practice in the gaming industry. The other options, unfreezing, refreezing and technological lockout, do not accurately describe the scenario.
