Pro is a 8th gen console. Scorpio is a hybrid 8th/9th gen console. If Sony leaks info about ps5 so what. Microsoft will do the same thing the following yr. this is assuming a 2019 ps5 and 2020 Xbox. Which could happen but we don't know. In 2019 Scorpio will be around 300$ and play the same games as ps5. Then if Xbox launches a yr later it will be more powerful than ps5. 

Kinda doubt it'll be a hybrid console.  You honestly think MS is going to have it where you can plop one disc into either a Scorpio or XB2 and play on both systems, only with upgraded graphics?  Highly doubt that.  They may have said that to cause a stir, but once they realize Nintendo and Sony aren't down for that, though more importantly devs and pubs, AND that they would be losing money on people who double dip for remakes/upgrades, they'll abandon it real quick.  Nah, it'll be just like any other gen.  We'll get cross-gen games and maybe devs/pubs who will offer free or at low cost upgrades to their games, but tey will still be different games on different discs. 

I doubt MS revealing a XB2, even if it is slightly more powerful than a PS5, will really hurt the WW appeal of the next PS5.  Especially if it is B/C with the highly successful PS4, while still launching for just $399.  Of course, if the Scorpio flounders out the gate, a XB2 will become farther from a certainty.

Well going off of what Microsoft has already said. Yes Scorpio will play the following consoles games. Just like the one will be doing with the Scorpio. Obviously if Scorpio is a total flop those plans could very well change. But Microsoft is here to stay whether you like it or not. They make about a billion a year off of Xbox live. 5$ a month for 20 million people is 1.2 billion. I don't think Microsoft is going to just throw that away.

anyway assuming Scorpio 2 and ps5's games are either 4K native or very close you don't think Microsoft would want to have a1080p version of those games on Scorpio. The console could be 100-200$ cheaper than a ps5 and Scorpio 2 but still play the same games. I think it would be killer for them. And why would devs and publishers be against it. The ps5, and Scorpio 2 would have a non existent install base. Meanwhile the Scorpio could have 10 million or more owners. As long as it is cheap for the devs to get a version on Scorpio. Or Microsoft could simply say no scorpio 2 version without a Scorpio 1 version just like they are doing now with one+Scorpio.
