Project Scorpio isnāt coming until Holiday 2017, so not at the same time. It will be multiple times more powerful than the current Xbox One.
They appear to be making their Xbox games standardized with Windows 10, such that the same game can be played on a PC or any version of the Xbox One. So games should scale up or down as needed. Though it is still up to the game developers to make the games work as well as possible on each hardware platform, which sucks for them.
Less PC model and more mobile phones model. Where hardware can change, but OS stays primarily the same. Games for the foreseeable future will be compatible with each hardware platform.
I think it would be awesome if Sony and MS divorced their hardware from software, meaning games could be played on the older to newer hardware. BC wouldnāt be an issue since games would just work. Though there will be a point that newer games stop working on older hardware, but that isnāt a bad thing, just a reality.
Means we can ignore generations, and have a more fluid and ever evolving game system. The differences hardware wise between PS4 and Xbox One are minor, in the sense of how games are coded against the hardware, which means as they have become more PC-like in the hardware, there is less value in years of fine tuning micro-optimizations on each hardware platform.

I kinda wish e3 would end just so i could stop putting myself through these conferences. I like participating in this kind of cultural ritual but this PR talk, horribly inadequate demos, and generally very poor displays of videogame good things seen through the lens of corporate interests is wearing me down. At least Sony these recent years has tended to be a lot more relaxed and without contractually ordained masturbatory scripts.

Iād say just wait for the videos and post announcement posts. Much easier to digest with less PR BS.
Though the memes are great.

I watch it mostly because of Giantbomb and their stuff. Though even they seem mostly in disbelief and worn out of it.

If it wasnāt for Giant Bomb live streaming these, I most likely wouldnāt, and would do as @chapel said, but their jokes make them entertaining to sit through. That doesnāt mean I am negative about everything, but Iām generally not a fan of most Ubisoft games. Other than Assassinās Creed, Child of Light was nice.

Here we go, the last press conference. Supposed to be at the top of the hour but they donāt usually start on time. TAKE US HOME SONY!
