It looks like we might see Microsoft turn the tables on Sony mid-generation this console cycle as both companies are currently rumoured to be preparing upgraded hardware versions of the Xbox One and PS4, but Microsoft's could end up being the more powerful of the two.
When the Xbox One and PS4 first launched, it was clear right from the get-go that Sony had the more capable hardware. However, with the PS4 Neo, the currently leaked specifications point towards 4.14 teraflops of compute performance, while Microsoft's Xbox One Scorpio is said to be hitting six teraflops, according to a GamesIndustry report, which could give it a decent edge.
This would be quite the turn of events but if it ends up having an overly adverse effect on cost, then Microsoft may not be able to claw back the market. One of the big reasons for Microsoft's hardware upgrade is said to be VR, as Kotaku's report on the matter notes that this new Xbox One should be compatible with the Oculus Rift.
The plan right now is to get all current Xbox One games running on both the new and old hardware, Microsoft also apparently wants to bring the Xbox interface to the PC and make all of its future flagship games cross-platform.

KitGuru Says: If Microsoft can turn the tables and end this generation with the more powerful console, then it may manage to claw back some marketshare. That said, we have yet to see how well these new upgraded consoles will be received, or what sort of demand there is out there for them.
“we have yet to see how well these new upgraded consoles will be received”
Are you seriously expecting anything other than pre-teen fanboys shouting at each other saying “our console’s better” without applying any form of critical thinking or logic whatsoever?
Which leads to my preemptive protip for E3, never watch the stream with the chat enabled, otherwise it’s the easiest way to ruin your experience
Scorpio?
Neo?
What is this the WWE?
What’s next? The Nintendo SHOCKMASTER ?
Here’s a headline… PC is already stronger then this. And we have better indy games, MMO’s, MODS, and freedom! The mods we have for games like skyrim, fallout, minecraft, don’t starve, gta, gives those games hundreds more hours of fun.

Now excuse me while I slam Doritos into my face, sip from my gallon jug of original sugar sprite, adjust my heavy load custom gtx liquid cooled recliner, shout at my mom to stop making so much noise upstairs, and log into warcraft to troll noobs all day as I flex my ego! Whaaahoooo I don’t even care, cause my games are better then yours!

Oh my god I can barely stand the level of humor this comment had.
I wish I could do more than like this post!
Now we wait for Microsoft to say games for the ‘scorpio’ need not be compatible with the One. Because esgraphical power is what matters, not loyalty to consumers.
nice comment, but just remember to end it like this:
