There already is Crossplay between PC and consoles on Several games you don't need to release your exclusives for the PC to get this feature, the Crossbuy only works if you have a PC and an Xbox One and by some reason you want 2 copies of the same game, this will not make someone who already have a PC purchase a Xbox One or someone with a PS4/Wii U, People  would purchase Sony or Nintendo's console and upgrade their computer later because this would  make their game library wider than it is, Why someone would purchase a console to play the same and even less games that they would be able to play on PC ?.

Xbox Scorpio is designed for Hardcore users and for 4K television market this means that Microsoft don't intend to make it popular they instead intend to make much profit from it and make the other Xbox One consoles popular.

PS4 Neo and Scorpio will be much expensive, Neo would still have the PS4's exclusives to make it sell, Xbox One would cost pretty much the same as a good PC and would not  have the games that PC have neither the freedom of the PC market.

The real point in crossplay is not really having an XBO and a PC, is keeping your library of games beyond platforms and beyond generations. The point is that you now have a XBO but then in 2 or 3 years switch to a PC, but in 8 years Scorpio 2 really seduces you, but you are going to be capable of play your games ever.

What MS is doing is increasing the value of their software, and also their platforms. When you buy a digital game to MS you will be able to play on PC or Xbox, and you will in the future, and forever. I don't know if 

Maybe that will be a selling point, maybe people will ignore it, or don't get it, but this is what Microsoft propose, and I think is great.

This sounds like Backwards compatibility like a lot of the other consoles had this far throught the Generations, and as we saw last year Backwards will not sell consoles, and this thing of Xbox + PC cross-everything will only work for the ones who have a PC and purchased a Xbox One, this will not work for the ones that plan to purchase a Console, or for the ones that  have a PC and plan to purchase a Console.
