I would guess that if they wanted to get marketshare and mindshare they would his $399US.
MS can talk "premium" all they want, but they are at a swing point in keeping the Xbox brand even relevant long term. By next year the XB1s had better be $50-100 cheaper or sales will slow dramatically with how cheap the PS4pro is. So, the Scorpio will need to be $399-$449 for the base model to even matter. Phil clearly made reference to the multiple sku model on the Scorpio(1tb,2 tb, deluxe edition).
Come October 1, 2017:
1. I see the XB1s 500gb base model (no pack in game) for $199.
2. I see the Scorpio 1 tb Base Model to be $399.
I think there is a chance that the Scorpio launches even earlier than October if MS can make it happen. But that is another topic...
It is near the end of the end....
