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.

 

LOL no...the scorpio was not rumored first. When you're watching your competitors moves its easier to create a balanced response and hence the scorpio (which confuses me becuse they are supposed to be workinng on PC/Xbox stuff...but I digress). Microsoft can definitely outpace Sony in hardware an os, so thats the gun they are sticking to. All they had to announce at E3 was that the Scorpio had more TFLOPs after Sonys scorpios launch was coming around the corner and that was all she wrote. 

Think about this. If Microsoft was rumored before the pro, why isnt it out right now? Microsoft is very competitive when it comes to Sony. They know Sony is dominant so they either like to beat them to the punch or be right beside them when a trend starts. They did the same thing in buying a more powerful version of the eyetoy after seeing that Sony made the eyetoy and that Nintendo had knocked wii motion control out of the park. They are like the friend who follows and tries to best Sony at every turn.
