I meant Titan X cannot do 60fps on current games at 4K that means it will take probably another 4-5yrs more for it to happen on consoles.
Upscaling on TV looks bad but what will be the impact on IQ from say 1440P downsampled to 1080P I am not sure. Personally I prefer native resolution and improved aa, texture filtering rather than downsampled resolution if I have the option. Also you cannot compare tiny monitor screen resolution to 40+HDTV. In monitor it always look sharper than on HDTV.
I also disagree regarding price as I think it is important factor. The reason PS4 is dominating is not because it has 40% more power. It is priced almost as much as Xbone. If PS4 was 100$ then may be it would not sell this well. Xbone with kinect at 500$ was always going to be a disaster lol

Upscaling is fine. When done right... Most people probably think it's "bad" because of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, those consoles were archaic and so was their upscaling technologies, things are far better now.
But I agree, it doesn't beat native or higher resolution. - Many forms of Anti-Aliasing just downsample from higher resolutions.
As for the pricing argument... You need to keep in mind the Xbox One S (Or the Playstation 4 when Neo drops) isn't going anywhere, that will target the lower price brackets for more price-sensitive consumers.
The Scorpio will be Microsoft's "Halo" product that will set the bar in terms of fidelity, it's not competing with the regular Playstation 4 or slotting into the current Xbox One's price bracket. - It's more premium than either of those two and expect the pricing to match, if you can't afford it... Well stiff, buy the cheaper model. :P

500$ is a tough sell TBH. 400$-300$ is the sweet spot to get console to the consumers. So I am not sure how they are going to market Scorpio and get people interested in it. I know many people say they do not see difference between Xbone and PS4 game so downsampled game to 1080P TV is going to be impossible if they can't see the upscalling resolution.
