Scorpio is a competing with PS4P. The main difference between PS4 and Xbone was 50% more powerfful gfx chip 18CU compared to 12CU and obviously the ram GDDR5 vs DDR3 + 32mb esram. Going by tflops Scorpio gfx chip is around 42% more powerful. Ram bandwidth is more and cpu is unknown. So going by this the difference is similar to the advantage PS4 had over Xbone. So instead of 1800P it will be 2160P or 1440P vs 1800P in favor of Scorpio.

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. 

Definitely Scorpio is going to  more expensive, a big heavy console and probably have power brick too.  But the performance difference will just be the resolution bump like 900P vs 1080P or 720P vs 900P we see now. However this time Scorpio will have resolution advantage. But they are both competing with each other and are comparable.
