I wonder if people realize this is going to give the Xbox One bad publicity. I've seen quite a big few YouTubers/Streamers say that the Xbox One is worthless because all their games are on PC. Most YouTubers/Streamers play on PC so I would say most would say Xbox One is worthless for them. Now the people who watch these YouTubers/streamers, they're going see the people they like say that the Xbox One is worthless. How do you think that'll turn out? If YouTubers/Streamers can increase the sales of games, I definitely think they have the power to do this. I would say most would by gaming PCs.

You're forgetting one very important thing... Those things are expensive! If the Scorpio can be cheaper than a rival PC, then it's natural they will drift towards them... 

Scorpio will have ~6Tflops processing power and it is still 18 months away. The RX 480, which will launch next week, already packs ~5Tflops for $200. When Scorpio launches, there will probably be RX 570 and GTX 1150 for $100 - $150 around, which can keep up with it or RX 580 and GTX 1160, which surpass it by far.

And on PC, you are free to decide, if you put additional power in resolution or framerate or better effects/post processing or better textures or better antialiasing or a balanced mix of the features you prefer. On consoles you have to take the settings which the developers decide for you as "best compromise".

Of course a complete PC will still cost a bit more than a similar powered console, but if you only have to upgrade a few components of your old PC, the investment can be cheaper than buying a new console.
