Did Microsoft royally flub its new console launch? - The Washington Post

High-stakes bets -- later in the article: "It could be a rocky transition to the new release pace. It may not work at all, really, as people continue to predict the death of the console as PC gaming sees a resurgence and mobile gaming continues to grow like crazy."

"Microsoft this week announced not just one but two new consoles in development. The firm unveiled the Xbox One S — a 4K-compatible, slimmed-down version of the Xbox One that’s coming in August. But at the same time, the company also announced the Xbox One S’s successor, a souped-up console called Project Scorpio that supports both 4K gaming and high-quality virtual reality, slated for the holidays in 2017.

All of this raises a critical question: Why would anyone who knows a better Xbox is coming out later buy an Xbox One S this August?"
