PS5 launches probably in 2019. Scorp won't change that. The momentum is done. And i'm pretty sure MS actually knows this.
Scorpio is an experiment on multiple fronts. Testing how much they can optimize, which it looks like they have done beyond all expectations, closing the PC gap by more than any other console has since ever. Testing consumer demand for both incremental upgrades, testing demand for 4K (which I contend is definitely not a given. For instance, I wont upgrade to 4K for quite a long time even though I could if I wanted to). They are also testing profitability of releasing games for both their console and for their PC platform with relative parity. They are in fact pretty much the only company that _can_ do this.
Regardless of the outcome, I hope for the best as IMO it will make for a more competitive gaming market and gamers will benefit.
