@AzatiS: Because regardless of what you personally believe, console gaming is stronger than ever.. Console gamers exist and many of them have no interest in PC gaming..
That simple logic destroys this tired argument of "why wouldn't you just build a gaming PC instead?!1"..
Yes, that's right. What's interesting is that a lot of people are inherently solipsistic with this stuff - they can't emapthise with other people who may have a different set of priorities or interests.
I mean, you could argue about the greatness of PC gaming until you're blue in the face - but it's like using arguments to convince someone to fall in love with you; at the end of the day, each person has their own desires/motivations/preferences. The inability to acknowledge that leads to a lot of the "console wars" or "platform wars" discussions, I'd say.
There are some major factors that relate to what platforms people will invest in, and a big part of that is convenience versus complexity. Other elements - like cost, exclusive IP, and even brand perception play a role.
We will see, we gonna be here when the time comes , be aware.

@AzatiS: Many diehard PS2 fans jumped ship to 360 because it played multiplats better and had a better public perception than the PS3..
Many diehard 360 fans jumped ship to PS4 because it had played multiplats better and had a better public perception than the Xbox One..
Now if Project Scorpio has better multiplats and a better public perception than the PS4 Pro, what's stopping PS4 fans from jumping ship and/or it selling better?..
What ? Are you that blind bro ? Let me tell you the real story because seems your dont even know what happened. People jumped to X360 because
1) X360 released a whole year before PS3
2) X360 offered GREAT exclusives , i mean who didnt shit his pants with original Gears for example ?
3) PS3 price was A NONO for many smaller markets , in my own market for example PS3 costes 699euros ( more than 850$ at the time ) with a controller !! Do you get that not everyone on this planet getting more than 500-600euros per month salary or not ? And back then i was the only one predicted that because of that price PS3 will have a hard time to sell .. Guess what happened ... i got flamed like no other guy on planet from cows.
4) PS3 hardware DIDNT deliver all the greatness supposed it would and that showed on multis big time. That drive people away to the cheaper and to "better" performance of X360 !! Common sense ffs!
5) PS3 lacked major AAA caliber exclusives on release to push sales further ( YOU GET IT ? EXCLUSIVES!! ) You cant push an overpriced product with exclusives of MOTORSTORM caliber
Plus so many other issues PS3 had at the time but guess what !?!! Even with sooooo many issues PLUS SONY on the verge of bankruptcy and a whole year less in the market ... PS3 managed to end up on par with x360 on total sales and guess why ... Because of exclusives and because of cheaper price, period.
So exclusives and price wont matter ? Oh god ! We will see since to be fair , we dont know Scorpios price nor if in the end it will provide an exclusive or two. Better be that is.
