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.

Xbox does not live in a bubble. It doesn't matter if Scorpio is better in every way than X1 when it's still worse than the competition. PS4 has a huge lead, the stronger brand, the more popular exclusives in both quantity and quality. It has itself a stronger successor and added value with PSVR.

There is simply no reason for anyone who previously didn't want an Xbox to suddenly buy the Scorpio. The fact that they release all their games on PC now as well shrinks their demographic. As such there will be less people buying The Scorpio Than X1.

As much as Xbox fans love to think that X1 failed because of bad press and weaker hardware it does not hold up when you look at the continued success of everyone else who supported their platform with a continuous stream of great software and that will pay off in the long haul.

Xbox one was a success in many ways tho. It is outpacing the 360 last time I check despite their botch launch and stronger competition. Microsoft is giving us great exclusive software. Who cares if it is on PC? There are a lot of people out there who still prefer consoles over PC gaming (like me). You don't think the reason why PS4 sold over 40 million was because of Uncharted and Bloodborne do you?  And I can tell you right now Microsoft doesn't care if you buy a PC. They view window PC as xbox as well. They are selling their games and services on both devices and they are making it easy to port PC games to Xbox one and vice versa so in a way Microsoft install base is bigger than Sony's .
