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.

If that's the case, why do you think Phil kept reiterating the "premium price" narrative? $399 is a standard console launch price. Even when compareds to the current low prices of XBO and PS4, they wouldn't have to scare off their consumers in advance by saying such things. On top of that, he made a direct comparison to the Elite Controller. It goes for $140 on Amazon.

Because he wants people to believe he's selling them a premium product at an affordable price. Im still skeptical though, I think it'll be $400.
