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.

So MS just announces new powerful hardware for 18 months time and you are so sure that it won't be an Xbox branded machine and that they just suddenly decide to abandon a well known brand and start from scratch. Sorry but you must be dreaming things up in this instance. These like minded predictions have been going on for years (MS abandoning Xbox etc..). And you guys just get proven wrong every year. I do get though that some people are upset with this announcement. Hey they can easily jump on boad and get this truly powerful upgrade as well. I know ill be getting the Scorpio 😃. You can too!

I've been reading that MS is leaving console market since 2007 at least. Is funny all the "Scorpio have no exclusives" thing, because:

1. There's still games that aren't on PC and are Xbox One exclusive, are these games going to dissapear? 

2. Microsoft already detailed how their planes are, all their first and second party exclusives at least are going to be on Xbox and W10 store, and maybe on steam, and there are people already buying the vanilla Xbox and Xbox Slim RIGHT NOW. Why they're not gonna buy a superior model, with a highest resolution and a better performance next year? Why???

The Xbox have little/don't have exclusives have been ALWAYS here, I've been reading that with Halo, Fable, even with Bioshock when was still an Xbox exclusive, it seems to me like some people are mad because, now that Microsoft have decided to embrace PC as their other platform and really release all the exclusives on PC, with crossbuy and crossplay at the same time than on Xbox, this narrative will be soon obsolete.

Xbox have no exclusives, and it will never have from now on, X10 have exclusives, move on from that argument please, we already know.

Not to mention that Scorpio, and all models of Xbox One can run BC compatible 360 games, and until now that is not available for PC.
