At this point, it's more about perception than specs after how much Microsoft effed up at the beginning of this gen. Because of both the PS4 and PS4 Pro, Microsoft needs the the Scorpio this generation to stay somewhat relevant or look competitive. Otherwise, they'd be "left behind." If they were to delay the Scorpio as a next gen console, the Scorpio will be seen as this gen's vaporware, hurting their credibility even further. Plus, look what they did to the original Xbox when the 360 came out. Microsoft pretty much gave Xbox users the finger. It won't be as bad this time around, but abandoning their efforts for this gen in favor of next gen at this point will show it's more about them and not the gamer.
