Back in the day, TEH CLOUD power boost XBO and its games would get were all the talk around MS new device, as we know it turned out to never happen as expected, but not only it didn't happen, they are now actually selling it as another piece of hardware, with very likely a premium price, to deliver what they told the Cloud would do to the XBO just by connecting into the internet.
Even the power boost matches, the Cloud was once told to make the XBO around or more than 4x more powerful than it is, and the Scorpio specs are just around that.

I fail to see how any XBO owner can be happy about Scorpio existence, actually the opposite should be the case, it may be a new entry point for newcomers, but it's definitely a scam towards people that fell for that talk, and now will have to buy another costly device which is the complete opposite to what the Cloud promisse once was, it's actually so ironical it's not even just sad, honestly.

Opinions?

From my understanding cloud was basically just CPU power, consoles alone (Scropio included) can't handle the physics shown in Crackdown 3. The Scorpio is primarily a huge GPU boost, that's how it will achieve 4K and other visual improvments.

My opinion? Your argument is completely invalid.
