I expect PS4Pro to drop to $349 holiday 2017, probably with a 2TB sku at $399. If Scorpio launches at $399 it will be interesting to see how much a $50 price difference for "equivalent" machines makes. But the one year head start is a decent advantage for Sony.

I don't see VR being a factor next year, but if it is, then PS4P is definitely going to be the much cheaper entry for VR on consoles. Which means this will also be an interesting price vs power situation. One suspects people who are enthusiastic about VR are also more financially well off, or are more willing to dedicate money to getting the technically best possible hardware. Which in theory should favour Scorpio + Oculus. But by then Sony has at least 55 million VR capable consoles in homes, and perhaps a couple of million headsets and MS has zero VR capable consoles and probably also zero compatible headsets. I'm figuring the people who have Oculus also have high powered PCs and however you cut it, Scorpio VR is going to be an inferior experience to high powered PC. Is scorpio going to have Scoprio exclusive (i.e. not available on PC) VR software? If all the VR games that are on Scoprio will also be on PC, there is exactly zero reason why a PC VR person will get Scorpio for VR. Sony should have a handful VR exclusives on the market by the time Scoprio launches. But VR could be a wasteland for Sony by then as well.
