Is this Phil Spencer's final test for Microsoft? Is his job on the line?

This is was always going to be the way it would turn out though.
Scorpio and the Playstation 4 Pro weren't supposed to be massive sellers. They are priced higher afterall, consumers tend to always drift towards cheaper products in a product lineup.

Don't you need a 4K TV to even appreciate these mid gen upgrades?  4K still isn't at mass market price and won't be for another 3-4 years.  I think Sony and Microsoft would have been better off to wait till about 2019 or 2020 before even releasing these upgrades.  By then 4K will be near or at mass market price and more people will have them.  So instead of mid gen upgrade it would be a near end of life upgrade which would keep the sales going at a steady pace like what Nintendo achieved with the N3DS.

Why would you need a 4k TV to appreciate these mid-gen upgrades?
