So, is it confirmed that all Scorpio games will work on the X1?

Yes since E3.

Not correct. VR games will only work on Scorpio, sinve Xb one does not support VR.

"Initially, Microsoft stated that Scorpio wouldn't have platform exclusives, but that position isn't as clear cut as we first thought. All current Xbox One games will work on the upgraded console, but Microsoft isn't ruling out exclusives.

Speaking in an interview, a senior Microsoft spokesperson said it was 'up to developers' to decide if they want to develop games exclusively for Project Scorpio.

"I don't know about that. We'll see. It's up to the game development community; what do they want to do," said Shannon Loftis, GM of Game Publishing at Microsoft."

Although this is the first time I've heard of the Scorpio possibly getting exclusives though. I know it was getting VR games because the XB1 isn't powerful enough, but its own brand of exclusives is another thing.

But the fact remains. Scorpio WILL have games that can't be played on Xb one. Therefore they have extensive game cross over, but they do not have identical game libraries. This is different to the stated position for Sony which is that all games will work on all PS4 skus, no exception. The one advantage of going with a proprietary VR rather than compatibility with 3rd party VR.
