I'm already getting it when it launches for the following reasons:

-Didn't get Xbox1, looking forward to opening up a new library (though admittedly I often choose PC versions over console versions)

-I want to scratch that native 4k gaming itch to properly put my new TV to use, and outputting from the PC to the TV would lead to far too much input lag (one of the reasons that PC monitors are so gd expensive while being much smaller than TV's)

-Much like when I got the PS2 for DVDs and OG PS3 for Bluray, I still need a 4k player and it just makes sense to get the Scorpio.

-I'm legitimately looking forward to some of their upcoming exclusives, even if they're still a ways out.

-It will be my new "main console", which is to say the one I choose for all 3rd party multiplat games (though with some I might go with the Switch port if available).


Basically, the value of this console will vary from person to person. If most of that list doesn't appeal to you, then it's not worth getting, but if you agree with all of those points, the Scorpio is a solid deal so long as it stays under $600.
