IF this is true, and that's a very big IF, then it seems that management over at Xbox continues to make bad decisions. $400 was the price that I think a lot of people were anticipating and this will be a huge blow to momentum out the gate. 

Sony had to cut corners, to make the PS4pro able to hit 400$, and not sell at a loss.

Scorpio was always going to be more expensive than it, unless MS was willing to sell it at a loss.

People just had unrealistic expectations of what price such a console would be.

Scorpio would still cost more than Pro, if the former were $400 and the latter reduced to $350. I'm honestly kind of surprised. I've figured they'd hit $400 for sure at launch, but again, let's wait for official information.
