That is what they think, that is why they are doing it.

They are hopefull that haveing 3rd party games running abit higher resolution than the PS4pro or the PS4s/XB1s will be enough to give it some sales.

And it will be, but it ll probably sell less than the PS4pro does.

Microsoft is making the Scorpio because Sony is doing it. Its as simple as that. As soon as they heard about Neo, they announced the Scorpio at E3 because they were embarassed about having a weaker platform to Sony. They were so embarassed, they literally raced to raise the clock speed of the XBox One before launch. Thats primarily what this is about. As time goes on they will find other good reasons, but the timing is right for this sort of thing now because of middle generation iterations before the next generation in cellphones.

lol.... Scorpio was rumored and revealed before the Neo/Pro. You could just as easily say Sony is only doing it because MS is doing it :)

And they are going about it in different ways. MS is taking their time with it and making the most powerful console ever. Sony gave the PS4 a small boost. Per usual your theories regarding MS don't hold much water when looked at logically. If the Scorpio were some reactionary afterthought by MS, rushed out to counter the Pro, then it would be out already.
