Excellent news. Hopefully many devs will choose to focus on checkerboard upscaling with improved graphics instead of Native 4K, because the only way Scorpio will play games at native 4K is if graphics and framerate are nearly identical to the Xbox One versions. Sadly MS seems to be planning for first and second party games to be native 4k which is a shame, because that means we won't see a truly noticeable improvement in Xbox exclusive graphics until Xbox 4/Scorpio 2.0 releases in a few years.

How do you go from praising  checkerboard upscaling to suggesting 4K native graphics being the same quality as on XBO? LOL.

I'm pretty sure that was a reference to creating games with a similar frame rate and texture quality as the Xbox One, but rendered in 4K, instead of rendered in 1080p (or less).
