Enligt Mike Ybarra från Microsoft (med den obehändiga titeln corporate vice president of the Xbox and Windows gaming platform) har de tappat utvecklare med Xbox One jämfört med vad de hade under Xbox 360-eran:
"The team looked back at developers and the developer relationship we have. With Xbox 360 we had the absolute best platform for developers, [with Xbox One] we sort of lost that in a two-year time-frame, so we said how do we win the mind-share of those developers back?"
Tanken är såklart att locka tillbaka dem med Xbox Scorpio som de hoppas ska erbjuda något alldeles extra, och Ybarra säger:
"We want the best games running on our box and there are tools, devkits and some arrows like that to win the developers back. So that was a big priority for us as we approached this product."
Om Scorpio faktiskt är tillräckligt för att lyckas med detta, återstår att se. Ybarra avrundar resonemanget:
"We have to win the hearts and minds of developers. We have to have the right toolset that lets them bring out their games across the whole family of products and let them create the absolute best versions of those games."
