I haven't seen any rumors on it either, and I doubt they go that route. Usually future iterations of systems are made cheaper, not more expensive.
Plus remasters have been some of the biggest selling games of the "next gen". Halo MCC collection has sold over 1.5 million copies, GTV 5 next gen sold over 3 million in the first couple months, etc.
Microsoft will push out a Gears of War Remastered collection and will make some more coin off of it (might wait until the game works before releasing this time though). And then we probably see a Bioshock, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, and Call of Duty remastered collections eventually as well.
Too much money in remasters right now to introduce backwards compatibility.
