If i didn't currently own anything to play 8th gen games on, i'd buy a Scorpio regardless to if it's $400 or $500. I prefer Nintendo's exclusives to MS's by a huge margin, but add the Scorpio's inevitable wealth of 3rd party support and a colossus hardware gap, and the Scorpio would be the best place for me.
In my actual present day i'd buy a Switch. My PC already has access to effectively everything now releasing on the X1 and soon Scorpio, and it quite easily outperforms even the most optimistic estimations of the Scorpio's capabilities. The Switch's hardware might be hamster wheel tier for someone like me who will use it in docked mode 99% of the time, but it will also end up with a lot of great games i want but can't play on anything else right now.
