I... don't get what's there to be excited about. It will have the same issues the ps4 pro has (just performance upgrades), but with the minus that it's exclusives will also be on the PC where they can run even better. Like... i don't even see the point of owning one. :/

I have a high end gaming PC, give me a single reason why I should care about Xbox Scorpio.

You could play on a 50" 4K TV from your couch or bad.

Or for the first few years Scorpio will have a performance advantage over any PC costing up to 70% more.

Why do they have to be platforms that replace each other?
I'm a high-end PC gamer as well, who is going to be happy to grab a Scorpio.

You can do that on PC.

He has a high-end PC. Chances are it might already be faster than Scorpio. ;)

You can do that with pc gaming

I'm hoping they'll do something interesting for VR. If OR titles will be able to run on Scorpio that would make it easier for me to get another VR headset.

Because of redundancy, if the games are both available on PC, and play better on PC, then having a Scorpio is a waste of money and space.

It's an SLI 1080, i7-7700K machine, Scorpio won't come close.

Redundant for some people so you're not wrong. But it's not useless for everone, even for those who have a high end PC.

Not everyone has elaborate PC setups where they can switch between a monitor and a TV. Some have their PCs hooked up only to a monitor. And some only to a TV. Some have PCs hooked up to a monitor whereas they have a 4K HDR TV for consoles. Some have multiple PCs instead. A console can make easy transitions between gaming on a monitor and your TV.

And of course there are more scenarios. It comes down to whether you want another box for convenient access to gaming. It doesnt have to be for you.

Not everyone has a gaming PC or wants a gaming PC.

But by this logic why would anyone ever buy consoles? PC runs the games better, the games cost less, you have complete BC, and while you might miss out on some platform exclusives, PC has tons more exclusives than any console.

But that isn't the same logic. You buy consoles to play exclusives and 3rd party on your couch. But, you already got a system for that. These upgrades give you a performance upgrade. In Sony's case, the Pro would be the only place where you can have the best experience on exclusives. The scorpio doesn't even have that. There is nothing this Scorpio offers that is unique to it...
