Hmmm... no. There is demand for a more powerful box that takes advantage of 4K TVs and enhances performance/graphics. Most importantly, it doesn't phase out the old hardware.

X1 also had the stigma of being an underpowered machine due to lower resolution games, now MS gets to have technically superior ports. Not a bad direction to go.

I do not think there is any need for 4K and according to Eurogamer leaks if they are also doing checkboard resolution it will not help their cause. Scorpio is probably going to be worse than PS4P in demand. But time will tell.

Well people are buying 4K TVs so its safe to assume people want 4K content. The X1 S will sell better because of the lower price, but eventually more people will want the Scropio.

Even though games will be sub 4K, it will still resolutions higher than 1080p which look better on 4K TVs. The extra power will allow it to do native 4K more often than PS4 Pro.

I predict in about 4 years MS will allow developers to stop supporting the original X1/X1 S. Allowing developers of high end games to focus on Scorpio and perhaps a newer X1.
