Too many options in poll to be humorous.
Disagree as 'teh cloud' was intended to be part of their digital only infrastructure and delivery. With some focus on improvement by streaming the content (think onlive).
Scorpio is no different than a new console or revision like PS4Pro or New3DS/2DS. It is gaining an improvement in capability by improving the hardware directly, not software via internet based hardware.
People buying scorpio to replace their current XBoxOne can be argued to be making poor purchasing decisions. But those are the same poor decisions people make who buy exclusive editions of what they already have, buy New3DS or PS4Pro when they already have a 3DS or PS4. To me, those are all not worth the money as the differences are marginal at best.
I fully expect Nintendo to do the same with Switch in a couple years. I'll skip that version and wait at least for the next revision (maybe 4 years out) that would be more inline with a typical break in console "generations". However, maybe I'm being a hypocrite as I routinely buy a new smartphone every two years, full cost / no contract bs.
