Spencer: Scorpio won't do anything for you if you don't have a 4K TV

It's still an XBO, just enhanced to take advantage of 4K TV and VR. Still part of the same product family, like the New 3DS, DSi, GB Color, and Master System/Sega Mark III were to the 3DS, DS, Game Boy, and SG-1000. The Neo will likely be the same deal. Spec upgrades are not unprecedented. Nothing new under the sun. Don't expect anything else unprecedented in regards to sales or console cycles (and generations are absolutely dictated by sales).

It's a completely different chip set with a different CPU, completely different GPU, different RAM, that's 5x more powerful. 

It's as much of an XBO as the XBox 360 is. 

MS kinda has to say this to keep XBO sales from cratering entirely, this is the same thing as "Kinect will be a central part of every XBox One" ... yeah that lasted like ... 6 months. 

Actions speak louder than words, they are allowing developers to basically make Scorpio only games if they want and are not forcing parity, it basically means that once enough Scorpios are out there, devs will start making games specifically tailored to it.
