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.

The New 3DS has games that cannot be played on older 3DS models. The DSi had games that could not be played on older DS models. The GB Color had quite a few games that wouldn't run on older Game Boy models. The Supergrafx had seven games that wouldn't run on older PC Engine models. The 7800 (essentially an upgraded 2600) had plenty of games that wouldn't run on the 2600. And as far as I'm aware of, the SG-1000 wasn't compatible with games designed for the Mark III. Yet in each case these upgraded systems, each with at least a few exclusives of their own, were still fundamentally the same platform as the original models. The Pro and Scorpio are no different. Same CPU and RAM, just slightly faster/better, and with enhanced GPUs to take advantage of 4K, HDR, and VR. There's no generational leap going on here. Those who say otherwise simply lack the enough knowledge of the history of the console market and of mid-gen console upgrades.

Or they a pushing the narative that Sony is "preserving" the PS4 and help gamers, while Microsoft is desesperated and ashamed of the Xbox One...

It´s been quite a sad few weeks for good sales analysis. Many of our old friends, like Ethomaz, are gone. It seems people don´t remember more how the debate were back in 2012 and 2013. I´m still expecting the resolution and performance gap to increase and third parties droping suport for the XO.
