Are you implying that the Scorpio will taking over PS4 for big 3rd party support?  Because that wont happen.

PS4 has the biggest userbase that no 3rd party dev will ignore.  Realistically, the Scorpio will be a console with wasted power.  3rd party wont spend the extra time and budget to utilize the Scorpio/smaller userbase, they'd rather just do the bare minimum and that would be to utilize it for the PS4 Pro at best since they're bigger.  Likely, the only games that will utilize the Scorpio's power is just a small handful MS own 1st party games, not 3rd party. 

It will have the graphically, be it framrate, resolution, effects, best performing 3rd party multiplatform games compared to any other console next year.

Techincally yes, obviously.  But in a business sense why would you want to when its cost effective to just focus on the larger userbase.  

Like if a 3rd party multiplat game works smoothly on the PS4 Pro (they'll likely focus on the PS4/Pro first) and plays the same on the Scorpio, why waste more time and money to make it perform even better on the Scorpio?  I guess only if these 3rd party devs have a deal with MS to utilize it for the Scorpio/MS paid them to.
