Xbox Strategy (Xbox One S/Scorpio)

After spending the preceding weeks from E3 and the nature of my work in the gaming industry, I have had time to analyze the announcements made by Phil Spencer and what I believe is the Xbox Strategy moving forward. Let me be clear in saying that I have no
foreknowledge of any movements in Xbox or Microsoft. This is just my personal opinion based on observations.

The announcement of Xbox One S and Xbox Scorpio in the same conference seemed to breed an air of confusion among the gaming community. Members of the gaming press have admitted a lack of understanding with the announcement and members of the public that
I have spoken to seem to share the confusion. It would make little to no sense to announce a new model available to the public within two months time only to undercut the announcement by making another announcement at the end of the conference, an announcement
of a more powerful console due at the end of next year. Except that it makes perfect sense, sense beyond the intention of transparency that Phil Spencer and the rest of the Xbox team wish to convey. Let me explain.

Displaying two new consoles reveals the new Xbox strategy of continuing to move forward outside of the console war. The dance between the different hardware manufacturers; Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony has always been a period of 6 to 8 years supporting the
current iteration of their hardware with incremental updates in order to continue selling consoles. This is a strategy that will continue with Sony going forward, while Nintendo will progress at their own pace because they are Nintendo. Microsoft's strategy,
however, is to continue to update and increase the staying power of the Xbox without further adding to the generational gaps that have plagued the gaming industry in the past. When a new console generation launches the typical investment of the average gamer
is in the range of $400 over the cost of the console of choice. This includes new controllers, new headsets, other miscellaneous accessories as well as, in the case of PlayStation, an initial cost of activating online services. With Xbox's strategy of introducing
console upgrades that will cater to the audience of the intended console (such as Scorpio for VR and 4K Native gaming or Xbox One S for parallel entry cost while upgrading to the lowest cost 4K Blu-ray player on the market), this means that the initial day
one adopters of the Xbox One will continue to be supported as will the adopters of the Xbox 10 years from now as the strategy has become cultivating an ecosystem of Xbox. An ecosystem where everyone is invited and no one is left behind.

The Elite Controller I purchased with my Xbox One will continue to work with me Xbox One S, Xbox Scorpio and the possible Xbox Titan that will exists 10 years from now. (Xbox Titan is just a really cool sounding name, I have no idea if that will be the name
for an Xbox model down the road). The Xbox games I have purchased with my Xbox One and the Xbox games I will purchase years from now will be Xbox games and my Xbox model will continue to support all releases. This universal inclusion of all things Xbox is
the impressive strategy that I have taken from the formal announcements and interviews given by Phil Spencer and the Xbox team about Scorpio and the future of Xbox but like all things time will tell.

So, does this mean that once the Xbox One Scorpio comes out, the games will be optimized for the Scorpio and then downgraded for the Xbox One and Xbox One S?

Will Scorpio play with Xbox One S?

I'm trying to decide if I should get the Xbox One S or wait for Project Scorpio. If Scorpio is coming out in June I'll definitely wait, but that is unlikely (Unless Xbox wants to be even more awesome). But my friends have the Xbox One S and are getting the
Scorpio so, will Xbox One S players be able to play with Scorpio players and are the games going to change to different "Scorpio" games like what happened when the Xbox One came out?

 

This is good info; I would also like to learn more about upcoming updates for possible VR gaming with xbox in the future. Is there a site or resources I can go to; currently I am using; Oculus as my VR system and purchasing apps from them; do you happen
to now of any future compatibility or current.
