Wow..you actually think everything MS has planned for Scorpio has already been announced and there are no big time launch games coming? Sorry but your first paragraph is basically useless.
No, i'm not saying they've announced everything RE: Scorpio, but if what you're implying is that MS has a stockpile of Scorpio 'launch' titles they are going to be showing, you're way, way off. They'll be showing X1 games, first & foremost. Then they'll be showing those same X1 games running at Native 4K on Scorpio.
Your problem is that you think 'Scorpio launch titles' is an actual thing, but you're not accepting the fact that the Scorpio is a stronger Xbox One, not a new system or console generation. There is not going to be Scorpio exclusive titles, ESPECIALLY at launch. MS has already said this; Spencer himself has said no Scorpio exclusive titles. Are you calling Phil Spencer a liar?
More assumptions..I'll repeat myself from my earlier post..
The Scorpio power gap from Xbone is much larger than PS4-->PS4 Pro. PS4 has won the install base and has more pull WW than Xbone, IMO the Pro was too early, too underpowered and mishandled as far as marketing hype and awareness..comparing the potential of Scorpio to Pros performance so far is lazy.
Whats going on with the PS4 Pro right now has nothing to do with 'power', and everything to do with a higher end console on the same console library as a cheaper market alternative that has already established itself. You think more power would make the PS4 games that have Pro patches be that much better? It wouldn't. This has nothing to do with power - the games were always going to look fairly similar but with higher resolution options. Fanboys are the ones who got themselves heated with bigger numbers. Scorpio is stronger, great - the games being developed are still X1 games, except they'll have higher resolution options. You're literally trying to turn the Scorpio into something its not.
But lets forget all that for a moment. Let's pretend that the Scorpio does wind up being a new console generation. Right now, consumers are at a state where they're looking for software to play, not hardware to buy. There are several market indicators for this, and these were market indicators both 1st parties observed in 2010 when they both decided to extend their respective console generations. You can't just launch consoles & expect them to sell - the market needs to be ready to adopt them. The market is not ready to buy new hardware right now. Pro sales reinforce this.
