While OP left many factors out of why the one s won a few months, I do belive scorpio will face another hurdle wore than what the ps4 pro faced at launch. While the media was hating on the upgrade to the pro, due to the small jump, how some could not notice big improvements, how games still dint take advantage of the upgrades and all that. It should be worse for the scorpio.

1) While from x1 to xscorpio is a much bigger jump than for ps4 to ps4pro, the problem will be that the diference from pro to scorpio will be very small and by then, the pro will have a year headstart so games will be better optimize for pro while just getting started on scorpio.

2) This year we have promised a lot of good software for the ps4, wich I think is the real reason as to why the ps4 has been dominating and allways will. If I remember correctly, the only big games coming for x1 this year are the anual forza, scalebound and maybe crackdown, dont know, this one has been anounced since the x1 itself.

3) the ps4 pro will have a good price advantage. Even if scorpio releases at $400, sonny could do a holliday cut to $350, or just bundle the pro with a couple games something a brand new and more expensive scorpio wont manage easy.

4) While I dont really think marketing deals do all that much, the ps4 already has the best ones for this year. Wont really matter, Like who is really gona go buy destiny 2 on a diferent console that they have destiny 1 with all the friends and possible cross over saves and other stuff. But some new consumers might buy into it.

5) The slow down effect the ps4 had by people waiting for the pro, it will cause bigger problems for scorpio. While the ps4 was unchallenged as the best machine, this time people might still wait for a scorpio but buy the ps4 pro on the mean time. I say its worse for the scorpio because when it hppened to the pro, there really is not much aside from the few that wanted a 4k br player, but buy a x1 to pass the time. the xbox has so few exclusives that year that you could still wait with whatever else you had, wont be the same with all the big games coming for ps4 this year.

Dam do I hate writing so much. If I saw a post like this, I would not read it :p

You numbered your points, and included paragraphs. So I had no problem reading it.
