From a recent interview with Aaron Greenberg, he stated that the Xbox Scorpio will be a very high end product and that it is targetting 4k gaming. But here there are several elements here that confuse me:
1) The Xbox Scorpio will supposedly have no non-VR exclusive games which will either force much more work on the developers or severely gimp the Scorpio version of the game. Games that run on Scorpio have to run on OG Xbox One(unless I'm mistaken). This will diminish the graphical fidelity of the Scorpio variant games.
2) Even the best current PC GPU cannot handle all 4k games at 60 frames per second and that card alone is worth more than the PS3 was when it first came out(which has other components inside which further inflates the cost of the console)
3) With MS putting alot of their exclusive titles on PC and implementing Xbox Play Anywhere, there is less incentive for PC gamers to get a Scorpio and consumers will have another option to play Xbox games in 4k via PC.
4) Given the cost of the console will probably be close to $1000US, how can it possibly succeed when the PS3 at $599US was simply too much for consumers? That was also considered premium at the time(blu ray drive, 4 USB ports, native PS2 backwards compatibility etc)?
Does anyone else think this all doesn't add up? Am I wrong in my skepticism?

1) does Battlefield 1 look bad on PC because it can run on 10 years old hardware? No. it's the best looking game ever made.
same applies to scorpio. nothing will be held back
2) microsoft never said ALL games will be 4k/60fps it's up to the developer what they target. The best current PC GPU can handle all games 4k 60pfs, if you don't run ultra setting. you just can't have everything
3)yes, what don't you get there?
4)where did you get $1000USD from? the scorpio will not be anywhere near that pricepoint. The Xbox Scorpio will proabably be $499. Maybe $549. They wont even go for the $599 pricepoint because of the memes.
