Its a big jump in performance but MS's PR people have said it themselves, the console is designed for native 4K gaming. And I'm willing to bet that running in 4K all will take up all its resources.

Even when you lower the resolution (1080 or otherwise), will we developers utilize all that extra grunt to improve IQ? Supersampling etc and improved AA is nice but like what other people have critisized the PS4 Pro for.. Will that be enough to entice people to upgrade?

Its not a new generation. For that both console manufacturers will need to participate in a new console standard. And the jump will have to be considerably bigger.

 

If you are saying it will basically have same gfx at 4K and that does not do well. TBH I will not be surprised surprised if Microsoft kills the Xbone and encourage dev to utilize the new console so 1080P user can play games at max settings 60fps

It will improve graphics (though not at 4K) and it will be good option for a lot of current console gamers who want improved fidelity in their games; and don't want to delve into PC's. Though PS4 Pro/Xbox Scorpio won't change the playing field.

I'm expecting 4K at 30FPS (native) to be the standard on Xbox Scorpio titles and all games to run at least 1080P like on the PS4 Pro.

So yeah.. Both machines are mid generation consoles. MS had to play ball and release a new console. Because the Xbox One would pale in comparision to the PS Neo - and Scorpio is the answer. A stop gap for gamers who want to play on their new 4K TV's until the next big thing comes out.. (PS5/Xbox Two)
