And therein lies the problem with Scorpio. No exclusives. If everything that will launch on the XBO is coming to PC, there's really no point in getting a Scorpio. Now, there will be a few who prefer the console experience, but a big part of that IS exclusives. 

@ OP

If they aren't worried, will they be giving sales numbers, now? No? Didn't think so. And they should be when the Pro is $349, has already had a year to take the top spot for 4K console gaming, and they're just launching at $499.

Doubt Scorpio is launching at $499. I love that this narrative keeps getting pushed. MS taking their time to make a proper system that can actually function well on a 4KTV will allow them to launch at $399.99 by waiting for the proper technology to come down in price. 

Sony is the one IMO who is rushing for no good reason, with a system that can't really run native 4K games nor can it run 4K movies either, yet it's supposed to be the go to for people with a 4KTV? Gimme a break, Sony. 

Lol, rushing? No, Sony knows exactly what it's doing. Sony is getting out a mid-gen refresh, not a late-gen refresh. A late-gen refresh that will be obsolete within a year or so, when Sony announces the PS5, which will probably be 10+ Tflops. 

And as for $399 Scorpio, I wouldn't hold your breath. MS is already trying to prep everyone for a higher price with that talk about the GPU alone costing the same as the launch PS3.
