It does, Scorpio is another level beyond Sony's reach.

Oh, did MS release a spec sheet that actually states they are using a much better CPU?  Much more RAM?  Nope?  Didn't think so.  But, by all means continuing believing what you wish.

So much this.  Not sure why they think the Scorpio is going to be so powerful when it's going to be exactly the same strategy as the Pro.  The ONLY exclusives MS said they will allow on it is VR games, cause the OG XBO can not run them.  Why waste those specs on a current gen upgrade, when it would have to be sold for AT LEAST $599?  Going to laugh my ass off if it's basically a XBO S, but with a 6 Tflops GPU and even more overclocked CPU.

Oh, it's going to be competing against both.  That's the disadvantage of launching that late in the gen.  Sure, you can be more powerful, but you're also going to be going against your competitor's follow up, one that's going to blow your mid-gen upgrade out of the water, and is going to be announced only 1-1 1/2 years after you launch.  One that we will start hearing rumblings of shortly after the Scorpio launches.  It also allows the Pro to get a foothold on that mid-gen upgrade market.  So, compete? Sure.  Win? Not so much.

First: I don't think the PS5 will be announced 2 years from now like you claim.

Second: If so, the PS5 will be outpowered by the next Xbox as well. It is a back and forth anyway. If you compare this generation, including the upgrades Xbox Scorpio is the most powerful machine you can buy. End of story.

Early 2019 announcement, with rumors starting to come out in 2018 (wouldn't be surprised if Sony pushed the leaks, either.)  That's what I'm predicting.

Don't you mean IF there is another Xbox?  If the Scorpio flounders and fails, do you expect them to come out with more HW or continue with their focus on Windows?  I expect the latter.  Still, if MS still comes out with another console, are they going to be ready to launch it that soon after the Scorpio?  It's possible, but I'd more expect them to launch 6 months-1 year after the PS5.  And even if it's more powerful, it won't matter.  A $399 PS5 is going to kill just as much as a $399 PS4 did. As much as a $399 Pro is doing.

Bait or not, my point is still valid. I really do not care for 12 year old "baiters" and the trend that was built around them.

From what we have been told there won't be another generation of Xbox however there will be a another Xbox machine. Xbox have there platform now and expect a Scorpio successor to compete with the PS5. 

In other words think of Xbox as a PC in your living room. (Steam machine) it will be the only place to play Xbox and PC games. Wont offer anything else but power to play at higher settings. So what ever PS5 will be visually expect Scorpio 2 to beat it. In saying that we dont know what Sony is doing. PS5 might be a full fedged VR console not competing in power terms but with innovation.

So it depends if Sony go the Nintendo route with innovations or the PC route with Power. We know Xboxs route.

Nice analogy but it totally ignores the diminishing returns of technological advancement. You'll get a few more full 4k titles but it won't cover all.... Maybe just over 50% at 30fps. 

On top of this, it will always be held back by the games that have to play on Xbox one particularly. 

You've got to hand it to Sony's tech team. I really didn't expect 4K/HDR gaming to be here so quickly. As much as the press seem to be confused, Sony are in a fantastic position here.

Praise their tech team for what? 4K gaming has been on PC.

lol, I don't need 4K at very high. If I cared about graphics that much I wouldn't waste time with consoles. With the $1200 I have spent on consoles this gen and the cost of the good gaming PC I built I could have built a monster PC.

I'm ok with native 4K gaming or even 1080p with much better framerates and other enhancements. If MS ends up putting the same dumb limitations on Scorpio versions of games as Sony is doing PS4P, then I won't waste money on it either.

Gamergen impressions of XV Pro:
"What does FFXV PS4P bring to the table ? Well, in three words: it is MAGNIFICENT !
Between the demos we tested and gameplay videos we've seen so far, we can confirm, yes, this production will be much more flashy on the new Mister.S' hardware . Because the aliasing has almost disappeared and the clipping is better managed.
The environments are dense and alive, for once, the frame-rate (fps) seems to be constant when a number of decorative elements is displayed on the screen.
Optimization for a 4K picture, it brings several things. First, a sharpness in textures that literally explodes the retina. Everything is beautiful, everything is clean, it's breathtaking. Then the colors are dazzling and showy, in other words, it is masterful."

That is not a bad start and I'm sure the list will grow in the coming weeks and month. It's definitely worth getting a PS4pro.
