I can think of a few games that would qualify here. Of course none of them would ever be a Scorpio exclusive.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
If every Sony exclusive all of a sudden became a Scorpio exclusive or, if the only consoles available were the Switch and Scorpio then I'd buy a Scorpio.

lol I know it's a gaming forum and thus incredibly biased towards people with niche gaming habits, but let's face facts. Games matter, not exclusives. Every GTA or CoD is more important than any exclusive. That has been proven time and time again. GTA, CoD, BF and FIFA (among many others) are bigger system sellers than Horizon, Forza or Dawn of War III. Unless the exclusive is a mega franchise like Halo, Gran Turismo or Mario Kart.
When consumers can play those multi plat games with far improved graphics at a price that can challenge a decent PC rig, then consumers will buy it.
It would have to be free or one of those 'too good to be true' deals for me to buy it (i.e., heavily, heavily discounted, and even then, I'd probably wouldn't buy it).
I will have the console Pre-ordered when I am able.

This. I may buy the Scorpio one day, when it's cheap to finally play the X360 and Xbone exclusives in the best possible way, but my console shopping list looks like this:
Switch (after a decent and unavoidable revision of the hardware)
PS4 Pro Slim (really don't like the looks of PS4 Pro)
Scorpio
Only a crazy price of around 200 Euro could make me buy it this year.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
Games I can't get on PS4. Conker 2, Lost Odyssey 2, new IPs etc

powa=sales
They think PS4 won cuz of 1080p, so they wanna own the 4K race, without actually going into next gen lol. They talk about performance profiles, shackling themselves to 2012 hardware. Yuuge mistake imo, they should've just made Xbox 2 with next gen games and pointed out it's also Xbone BC, capable of rendering them in 4K.
Console seen as true successor is gonna move more, much more hardware than an iterative model.
I think MS could've made a comeback with a true next gen console with 16GB ram, Vega and Zen even if it cost $499, so long as they can show a notable graphical upgrade over PS4 exclusives.
Just imagine the hype if they had something like Watch Dog 2012 demo to show at E3, even if proven bullshot later, all eyes will be on Xbox from that point.
I fear Scorpio is gonna get sandwiched between insane price cuts/deals on PS4, and a possible PS5 reveal 18-24 months from now on.

Very few people will switch platforms 3-4 years into a gen especially to one that's gonna be +$100 more expensive than the competition, and one that doesn't even do next gen graphics but upgraded current gen. Sony will advertise the biggest games this and next year, and PS4 as the best place to play them on, the mainstream won't even know about Scorpio.
Also PS4 has been beating Xbox in NPDs every month this year, so the exclusives that it got like Yakuza, Nioh, Horizon, Nier, MLB, Persona 5 have certainly helped. PS4 did +400K in March when Horizon launched.
I'm sure Sony has seen the numbers that their exclusives do help and positvely contribute to their lead else they wouldn't bother with them.

Thread should've ended here.
Proud to be a Californian.
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.
