Perhaps it's just my imagination, yet the reception of the fanbases seems completely different?
When the pro was revealed, a lot of people weren't keen on mid gen refreshes. Splitting the userbase, more work for game developers, most won't put a lot of effort in pro versions, paying twice to play the same games, it's just the same game in higher res. Now the XbOX is announced, none of those concerns anymore. Heck some people are even asking for Scorpio exclusives, screw the existing userbase! All talk atm seems to be how truly true 4k the X can render its highest quality pixels.
Microsoft are marketing geniuses directing all the talk towards a premium machine with a premium experience. Reality is a lot of 3rd party devs don't spend much time on pro enhancements and new games still come out with hardly any boosts.
The difference is ofcourse that the upgrade from XBox One to XbOX is much greater than from ps4 to pro, leapfrogging both ps4 consoles. So do all concerns about how well the XbOX will be utilized and what it means for game development etc fade away because it beats the ps4?

maybe because the PS4 pro is not so powerful?
