If the Pro made MS react "much sooner than they wanted", then what was MS's plan? Like, a 2019 Xbone upgrade? Why would that make any sense? We have seen Papa Phil talk about potentially launching the Scorpio in 2016 but the tech just wasn't there. Sounds like the opposite of rushed. And again if they were rushed, "much sooner", then how would a 2018 or 2019 Scorpio make any sense? That extends the generation a long time. Also, I think you mean to say Sony is (in your opinion) playing chess and Microsoft is playing checkers. That makes logical sense, chess and poker doesn't.
PS4 is still selling so well I think it would be a mistake for Sony to rush out a new console. How much better can they make it from Scorpio launching a little over a year later? It would need to be much more powerful than Scorpio if they are calling it a new gen, because Pro and Scorpio are just mid gen refreshes.
