Sony's PS4 Pro Sales Silence is an Ominous Sign for Scorpio?

And isn't Scorpio designed to play the same games X1? And X1S will be cheaper than PS4S while Scorpio will be more expensive than PS4Pro? So the effects would seem even bigger

Yes, but Scorpio will have VR exclusives because XB1 just isn't powerful enough for VR. MS has also suggested that Scorpio will replace XB1 in a few years, meaning there will eventually be non VR games that will play on Scorpio but not on XB1, whereas it sounds like PS4 Pro will never replace PS4, both of them instead being replaced by PS5 eventually.

This is wrong in several ways imo.

First of all, the Play Station Four is also not powerfull enough for VR based on what is required on the PC side but Sony developped their own (less requiring and poerformant) VR (and I'm not blasting it, I think Play Station VR is just great and would love to see something similar on the Xbox One even if not as good as Oculus or HTC). So nothing is preventing Microsoft to do the same and I'm actually curious about those headsets coming for 200$ this year and see what will be the requirments.

Second, you assume that VR will play a huge part. Where do you get that?

And finally, where did you get that about the Scorpio replacing the Xbox One? I never saw anything like that. Quite the opposite actually from Microsoft
