Sony Tries to Downplay Microsoft’s Project Scorpio Hardware Power

The Scorpio sounds really cool, but if it really can game natively in 4K it will cost at least $1499.00
It takes two $1000.00 graphics cards to do 4K gaming on PC. That's just the cards!
A mass produced box might get the price down, but it is still going to be expensive.
The PS4K Neo will destroy the Scorpio because the performance will be really good and the cheaper price will win.

No it doesn't. But you do need at-least an $800 AUD GPU to do it. :P
A $199 Polaris card will likely not be enough though, which is the equivalent GPU that will end up in the Scorpio and Neo boxes. (Or a derivative of.)

How is no one talking about the fact they are abandoning the xbox one? That is the big thing about this. Xbox one doesn't have VR but the Scorpio is supposedly able to do that. It seems that there will be scorpio only content which is the big difference with Neo.

They aren't really abandoning the Xbox One. They are added another product into the product stack, the vanilla Xbox One/Xbox One S won't dissapear, it will just be the budget option.

VR requires a significant investment anyway.

neither Polaris10 or Polaris11 seem quite powerful enough to meet what was announced. personally I would not trust wikipedia as a source for anything. regardless VEGA10 rumours have it "supposedly" coming in at around 7-8tflops at launch, which if even close to true would mean this could be in the ballpark, but can't see how that could be made affordable.

And it's neither. The later models perform nicely, but none beyond 5TFlops. I think this will be a custom one rather than a Vega one (and hell, they are the same thing, just higher up!) 

They aren't the same thing exactly, unless you know something I don't?
Vega will have significant deviations over Polaris in order to maintain efficiency and reduce bottlenecks in the chip, you can't just double the shader count and keep everything the same.
