So you think more people will buy the Scorpio than the X1 because of..... reasons? Please tell me which mystical demographic will flock to the Scorpio that didn't to the X1?

People avoid buying X1 not because they dislike it but because they like PS4 and PC more. Scorpio won't change that.

A lot of people went out and bought an xbox s. People like new hardware and the one thing people bring up this generation as a negative for Microsoft is resolution (which I think is silly). Microsoft is going to have a huge library games coming out soon enough such as Forza, Gears, Sea of theives and more so that will help as well.

You can't use the Xbox One S as a base for something,  it indeed increased Xbox One's sales by 75% week by week when launched in the UK, but it is also true that it was close to UK's worse month ever for gaming and is rumored to be only 7K units of Xbox One S at the time.

We will need to wait if this will have some effect after the initia Xbox's fanbase re-buy the Xbox One S (change from normal version to S). Rely only on Hardware release to make a spike in sales isn't a good thing, soon enought this would not have the same effect and Microsoft would have no other option. They would need to make those new hardwares very expensive, because without the regular Generation's life spam, isn't possible to profit without making it from the start.
