Read on its own, maybe. But I do see those two quotes as being complete contradictions really. I see them as conflictin statements. One says you will see no benefit from the Scorpio if you don't have a 4K TV and the other strongly implies that is will be possible to see benefit even with a 1080P TV. We will find out in time though.

 

People already have pointed out how this works. I'll try to explain it with logic connectors:

 

Phil Spencer said Console A will be able to play X games and you need X Televisions to fully grasp at them. Those who don't have X televisions won't enjoy the full potential of X games.

At the same time, Phil Spencer admits that X games aren't being enforced, and the developers can make Y games if they want. Y Games can be enjoyed in both X Televisions and Y Televisions. If you get a X Game, though, Y Television won't be able to fully grasp its potential.

 

X Games can only be enjoyed in X televisions (4K ones)

Y Games (When the developer don't work in 4K) can be enjoyed in both X and Y televisions.

Scorpio won't enforce developers to create X Games only. Meaning you won't need an X Television to fully enjoy All scorpio games, but Some.

I understand that, but he did mention “Scorpio is designed as a 4K console" in the initial quote which threw quite a few people off when he made it. That alongside the "no benefit without a 4K tv' made it sound like "You need X TV to fully enjoy all Scorpio games" when the quote was made.
