Assuming a premium price-point, I'm very interested in seeing how the Scorpio does at retail. How many people care enough about graphical fidelity to pay that much but not enough to go the PC route? Is there a significant market for high-end home consoles? How many people will switch from Playstation to Xbox based on "the best console versions" of multi-plats alone

Why do people assume a PC gamer doesn't own a console or vice versa? Obviously if a PC gamer can afford a high-end PC, they likely have the disposable income to afford a console.

Scorpio is going to have the best hardware, the best graphics, the best performance in a console.
But it will not win *any* sales contest, the Playstation 4 Pro has already proven it won't.
It's meant as a Halo product to draw attention to the Xbox platform as a whole, the cheaper Xbox One S will beat it in terms of volume sales as the average consumer generally gravitates towards cheaper products in a product stack.

What are you talking about?  I clearly specified console only gamers with that line.  Where did I say anywhere that no one can own both?  Especially when I consider myself a PC/console gamer?  However, if you're saying that most Scorpio owners will be PC gamers then please provide a source.

I never said anything about winning sales contests, either.  I said "significant market", which implies enough of a market to make production worthwhile.
