If it maintains compatibility with the XBO and Slim though, it's just a much nicer XBO in the end, with 4k goodness and whatever. A proper new platform can't have that, no matter the leap.

A proper new platform can't maintain compatibility with prior consoles? What the heck are you on about?

A proper new platform generally means backwards compatibility but not forwards compatibility (i.e. XB1 can't play Scorpio games).  That's fine, if that happens then Scorpio will be a new platform (new generation) essentially rather than an enhanced XB1.
