Yeah, and even then most xbox gamers wont even know what a scorpio is. They will be too busy playing Madden, COD, Battlefield and NBA 2k to care. They would rather play on the Xbox One as is no different than the majority of PS4 owners,

From a commercial perspective, there are always first-movers. The kind of people who, no matter what, must have the scorpio in the launch timeframe. But unless there is a distinctive firstparty game for the scorpio, just like the Zelda game for Switch, then it is just a powerfull hardware box, with no real value to gaming consumers as I see it. But lets see what they will present at E3 for the launch.
Microsoft must assume that Xbox 360 owners (who are still out there and havent migrated to the current gen), will religiously migrate to Scorpio. But why should they?

Late adopters have a higher chance of buying a console that has the best deal. They wouldn't have stayed on the 360 this long if they cared about the graphics.  The adopters of the scorpio will be in the minority as is any premium product. This gen is half way over and the baseline Xbox One will gather the majority of the sales. The Scorpio has a higher chance of being adopted by people who already have Xbox Ones or tech enthusiasts who have the money to spare.
