You're getting a 6 TFLOP+ GPU in the XBox Scorpio. And it's no big deal. 

PS4 needs to stop being treated like it's some kind of super great technology, it's fucking *old* ok? By 2017 something being a factor of several times better is no big deal. It's not going to cost $800. People pushing that narrartive need to give it a rest, a Polaris 10 based GPU is no different from the PS4/XB1 using a 7870-derved GPU for their time. 

I didn't bring up PS4 in any shape or form aside from a notation of price versus a GPU. You're treating rumors about undecided technical specifications as fact and throwing out numbers with no consideration for Legacy support (meaning XB1.2 needs to be optimized to process and play games the exact same way as XB1, otherwise there will be major "Arkham-on-pc" problems cropping up everywhere or exclusive titles).

 

In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to terminate the discussion, because I don't care to discuss anything relating to feasibility with you when it comes to Xbox. I say good luck to you in your quest to have an affordable XB1.2 at roughly twice the power of the PS4.

I've provided actual context for the discussion. 

Sorry if the idea of a powerful XBox has you shook, but you're letting your fanboy-ism cloud the discussion, a 6 TFLOP GPU for 2017 is nothing special, it's right in line with what the PS4/XB1 had for 2013 and that's a fact. 

Such a console is not going to cost $800, just like the PS4/XB1 did not cost $800 at launch.
