I don't think the Switch taking off is the most likely of outcomes. Especially if it launches for $249+. In Japan, I'm sure it'll be a hit, but outside of there, it is just going to be too much to ask for something that weak. Sure, it's great specs for a HH, but Nintendo is trying to use it to compete in both markets. And less than 200 Gflops just isn't going to impress many core gamers. And, again, if they are going to be asking $249+, I think that's going to severely limit their chances with casuals who are fine with playing games on their $50-$150 tablets. Now, if they actually launch at $149-$199, they have a real shot at a hit.
Also, VR is going to be horrible on a 6.2" 720p screen, so I doubt it'll take off anymore than VR on phones has.

Do you think the 3DS audience is going to switch to tablets and phones? Supporting one hybrid is the best that can happen to both WiiU and 3DS. But true, a lot depends on pricing.
Sure, VR is not going to be pretty at 720p. Neither was wii sports with pretty crappy motion controls. You didn't even need to make real movements and most of it autocorrected itself anyway. Yet Nintendo managed to sell the illusion and it became a huge hit. At least it will get some media attention if Nintendo is crazy enough to offer cardboard like glasses for the Switch.
Whatever happens, Switch will easily outsell Scorpio and ps4 pro combined. But sure, it might end up below XBox One S and PS4 slim based on too high of an initial price point.

Yea, but your eyes are going to be right up against the screen, with lenses magnifying the screen slightly. Even on a 1080p 5" phone you can start to see the pixels that make up the screen. At 6.2" and 720p, it'll be worse. I'm sure some will to play it, but it's not going to be huge or anything. No bigger than Google Cardboard.

And this is why the PS4 is probably looking at its best year this year. And at the very least, tie with last year. Games, games, games. We're also going to be getting a $249 permenant cut, with a $199 BF SKU. The Pro is also going to be dropping to $299-$349 by the time the $399-$449 Scorpio drops. A system that will have all of its games available on PC. And by the end of this year/beginning of next year, we're are going to be hearing rumors about the PS5, something that is going to drastically affect the sales of the Scorpio. Scorpio is just too late, and too expensive, to really affect anything.
Personally, I've been wanting to get a Pro. However, with the PS5 most likely launching in 2019, with a much better CPU and 9-10 Tflops GPU and most likely B/C with the PS4, I think I'm just going to wait for that.

I agree on everything besides one.
We won't hear anything about the ps5 for at least rhe mid/end of 2019
Ps5 ia going to be released around end of 2020/begin or mid 2021.
2018 is waay to early

Nah. PS4 is going back to the gen model of PS1 and PS2. Around 6 years on the market and a successor is out. At the latest, we'll be hearing things about it in mid-late 2018.
