XB1 S is $300 and the Scorpio is being marketed as a premium product so I'm thinking it will be somewhere between $500 and $600 at launch.
MS is being smart and prepairing peoples minds for the higher price range by emphasizing the fact that it will be a "premium priced" model so when it debuts at around twice the price of the XB1 S people won't be so sticker shocked.
There are rumors of MS going to 8 Tflops for the Scorpio just to make sure they put the final nail in Neo's coffin. Especially if Sony decides on a last minute spec upgrade.
