One big difference though.  

 

While ps4 was a decent amount more powerful than xb1 it was $100 cheaper at launch.  

 

If scorpio is a lot more powerful it won't be cheaper.  That's the difference.  You'd obviously pick the base ps4 over the xbox1 in terms of value and the xb1 won't have a huge value advantage over the Pro. in fact the low pro price point is likely much more appealing for those who want to dabble in 4k. and by the time the scorpio releases Sony will be able to cut the price if needs be. 

That was one of the biggets problems of X1 at launch people didn't want to pay $100 more for weaker spec hardware, So if the Scorpio is $50-$100 more than the Pro with a noticible spec upgrade I think people will be happy to pay the price for a decent amount more power.

Some will but most people will opt for the Pro.  it's cheaper,  still powerful and it's Playstation which is more popular.
