(My money's still on "Xbox Elite" by the way.) But it's the latter half that's important. Removing the dash, the remaining numbers are "101317," which easily translates to October 13, 2017.
A more far-fetched theory pertains to the price. This video from Red Dragon describes how Googling that string of characters brings up an old edition of Radio Electronics magazine where the cover story is "Build this robot for under $400." This may be a secret message that Scorpio comes in at $399, the price point many believe it needs to hit in order to be successful. (For what it's worth, that Google search is nearly impossible now as those characters bring up news stories from most gaming sites.)
That's not the only Easter egg hiding in these videos. The other one is much more obvious and also kind of aggressive. At 0:28, the tent on the left has writing on it that clearly says "6>4." This is certainly a nod to Scorpio's well-advertised 6 teraflops of computing power compared to PS4 Pro's 4.12.
