It matters to the same people who made 1080p matter above 900p.  I believe the pro will sell fine but that does not mean the scorpio will not also sell if MS has the games and a decent price point.  If people like the games MS has then they will also purchase the Scorpio or upgrade their existing X1.  

The whole point of MS pushing the specs and resolution is in the hope of stealing PS4 owners back. That's what I'm addressing here.

I believe MS will get a portion of their base back because those people still enjoy the games that MS make.  They may also get the people who majority play 3rd party games if they can prove an advantage in performance and image quality over the PS4 pro.  Last but not least, probably CES or E3 we probably will see MS VR effort.  If MS can prove the scorpio does better within that area as well this could also be an advantage.  

The thing is, there is a lot of time for MS and Sony to screw up or execute successfully. Its in MS best interest to keep drumming up every advantage no matter how slight it is to show a difference between their offerings and Sony.  Successful marketing will be how MS can relay that info to your average consumer.
