There's a big problem with the Scorpio that Xbox fans probably don't want to admit. It is basically the end of Xbox HW. Mark my words, the Scorpio will be mostly sold as a Windows 10 box by Holiday 2017. MS is going to try and go up against Steam and the Steam boxes, hence why all XBO games will be launching on PC. If it fails, you will be most likely saying goodbye to MS in the console biz.

And really, I can't tell who the Scorpio is for. Why spend $499 (my guess on the price) on an entire system that no longer has exclusives, when you can spend $199 and get a 5.5 Tflops GPU for your PC and play any MS Studios game you want? As for the Neo, I'm sure Sony is going to get it to 5 Tflops-5.5 Tflops. It will also be the best place to play all of the PS4's many exclusives. So, I can see that actually having a market, while Xbox's fortunes will not be turned around.

Sorry, but I don't see the xbox becoming a Windows 10 box. It'll obviously be more integrating with a PC, but its not going to become just a PC in a box. And BTW, a scorpio powered GPU is around 200$ (RX480) today, I think in a year and a half you could be able to get it into a 400$ machine (granted with a slight loss).

RX480 Is weaker than the projected Scorpio specs. 4.5 Tflops vs 6.

Also there's no way an RX480 is doing 4k60fps even if it was powering the Scorpio.
