Over half of this post in conjecture - bulls*** as it were. And be realistic, I'd never be behind you, not in this life time. Maybe in SPD but thats about it. Tell you what...
I'm going to make a prediction. I'm betting Scorpio will will indeed be the defacto console when it releases due to its power. It's going to sell a plethora of units and close the gap in the US and UK at the very least. I'm also betting there will be more AAA exclusives that will become the norm on Xbox from here on out. Good to great ones that coincide with Gears, Halo, Forza and BC. I'm also betting BC will be an even much bigger deal simply because of Scorpio - morseo than it is on Xbox One. And finally, I'm betting Sony will feel the pressure from Scorpio sales, caught unaware by console sold from Microsofts hardware and software announcements. In my opinion, I believe Microsoft has hit the nail on the head this go 'round and it'll show - shockingly to some. Until then, I hear M. Night is casting for SPLIT 2. Don't say I never did anything for ya.

I would love it if you're right but I think we too often fail to realize that people like us, are the exact demographic that is most influenced by Scorpio marketing.
