A few things.

First off, Your talk about Microsoft having a larger install base than Sony requires some iffy logic to justify and doesn't have anything to do with Scorpio.

Secondly, the Xbox One isn't outpacing the 360. Total sales are ahead, but it's lead has dropped by half a million consoles in the last 12 months and were coming up to a point where 360 sales were very strong.

Between July and the end of 2008 the 360 sold 7,796,789 units while during the same months last year the Xbox One sold 6,268,479 units. Also keep in mind that the Xbox One has been down YoY.

Third. You haven't give a reason as to why someone who didn't want an Xbox One would want the Scorpio.

1. It does have a larger install base technically because of windows gaming which is similar to xbox regarding architecture, api,os,service ect and Microsoft considers it an xbox pretty much.

2. It is still outpacing 360 overall as we speak is it not? Besides, you can't under estimate xbox slim (cheapest 4k blu ray player pretty much and HDR gaming) and of course xbox scropio which will attract hardcore gamers who want the strongest console by a large margin.

3. If you want reasons to buy an xbox scropio it will have the big AAA exclusive console games and new ips. Also the fact is Scorpio will be the most powerful console on the market. Those are two huge reasons to pick up an xbox scorpio. Not to mention Xbox Scorpio will more than likely work with oculus which a lot of people consider the best vr experience by far right now and it will be the cheapest way to experience Oculus. 

The first thing make it useless for developers, they will not have a good picture of the true installbase unless they release their game and see how much it sells.

Is like saying that only because everyone drinks water, you have a 7 Billions of Installbase to sell Water.
