There wont be a separation of what games are on scorpio from the original XBox One. its only a hardware upgrade for the enthusiast. Works no different than the pro where you can play certain games at a greater resolution or supersample for lower tier monitors.

I think they're going to use RDR2 to show off how Scorpio will become the next best console for multiplats by giving us a trailer with insane visuals. So although it's fully playable on both machines, it'll still be Microsoft's "top game" from the presentation because it will shock the audience by how much better it looks on their high-end machine. Just speculation though! Obviously MS would need to spend some big cash for that (but they did that a lot during the 360 gen, so who knows?)

No....Scorpio will have the better multiplats all on its own. They dont need an exclusive deal to do that. No offense, but Rockstar has never signed more deals with Microsoft than they have with Sony. Sony had  timed exclusivity during the PS2 era and Rockstar would never have given that to them unless they were winning. They dont need to show off how powerful a console is. They want the widest audience. Im sure the only reason Sony got bundling rights to GTA V was because they closed an eight million console lead that the 360 failed to hold on them or widen. It was a level playingfield. Sony has always had a working relationship with them because of that. Now Tomb Raider? That deal makes zero sense businesswise and yet it happend. It shows that Square Enix would take money our of desperation faster than Take Two ever would. I personally dont think there will be anything but bundling rights this time around and Microsoft would have to give Two a huge amount of money just to have bundling rights. I think they would be better off making a studio that can make AAA games for them at a high level. What they need right now isnt more deals, but rather a new IP to show audiences what their identity is all about.
