The lack of continuous chatter about the PS4 Pro should teach Microsoft about scorpio

Oh boy, don't you get tired of making these arguments? You've said this same stuff many times before.
I know this because you seem to be in most Scropio related threads.

MS like Sony is doing a mid gen upgrade, MS just happens to be making the superior machine.

Why are you lumping the power of Scorpio and 1st party games into the same argument? Its not like Scorpio's power means less new IPs.

Lastly, I see Scropio as a long term plan. It may phase out the X1 S when it hits $299.

Well, I think the biggest difference between Sony and MS here is not the specs but what each company expects that machine to accomplish.  Sony was looking to expand to certain audiences, providing a product they didn't expect to necessarily be a massive success but would supplement Playstation's earnings nicely.  MS seems to be putting most if not all their eggs in the Scorpio basket, expecting it to be a massive difference maker and push Xbox back into competition with Sony.  So the Scorpio doesn't mean fewer new games because of the power, but rather it seems the power and not the games are what they are betting on.

And I agree that MS should take a hard look at the Pro.  The Pro is what it is: a succesful but not massively succesful product that appeals to a minority subset of current Playstation consumers and it's the exclusives and diverse ecosystem and excellent marketing that primarily push the Playstation brand forward.  I firmly believe the Scorpio's future can be seen in the Pro's present. 

MS and Sony both took a stab at mid gen upgrades and MS is simply doing better at it. It also earned them some bragging rights just like PS4 had for years.

Its also worth noting multiplat are among the most popular titles on both platforms, therefore Scorpio should also be able to boast about having the best versions.

I totally agree X1 should work on getting more exclusives, but that has little if anything to do with Scorpio.
