A few notes:
1) For the games with section there are games that I think are better than the ones listed. However I wanted to chose ones that I played for the first time through GwG and was pleasantly surprised by , not ones that Ive already played.
2) It says most anticipated "2019" game, but since Shikamaru put down Cyberpunk I'm assuming all upcoming announced games are included.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
I expect Scarlett S & X to share similar CPU. The games should look better not play better on the premium option. You don't want anything remotely close to Forza Horizon 2 situation. I don't trust developer to hold back their desires to design their games to get the full benefit of the stronger hardware, leaving the weaker console with a bad version. A shooter with less enemies, inaccessible areas on racing or openworkd games, or less lively open world games.
I think the lineup for the next two years will be:
$149 Discless Xbox One console which will act as a streaming box fpr next gen games.
$399 Scarlett Arcade with Zen2 CPU and 8-9 tflop GPU.
$499 Scarlett Pro with slightly better CPU, 13-15 tflops GPU and SSD.
SSD prices will drop rapidly in the next two year. It will reach a point where it won't hurt Microsoft to use them for their premium console.
Not participating as once again I've barely played anything that came out in 2018 and if it wasn't for GamePass, nothing.
Going to be tough to fill out GOTY this time as most of my 2018 gaming was on older titles, I still hope to play a few 2018 games over Christmas that could make my list though.

Mutant Year Zero... For any XCom like games, this is a must. I have to say it was a very pleasant surprise when I installed this baby and played it a lot since (in Very hard/Iron man mode ftw) |
These guys know what they're talking about. Mutant Year Zero is a very good and challenging game!
I'm playing on easiest difficulty without iron mutant mode and it has still been challenging enough heh. Mostly because it took me too long to realize it's essentially a stealth game.

Sadly I already had all of the best GwG titles. The best I didn't already have would probably be either QUBE 2 or Trials of the Blood Dragon. For Honor was also better than I expected.
BC was just crazy this year. Other big titles were Vanquish, Splinter Cell Conviction/Blacklist, Assassin's Creed IV and many more.
Cyberpunk would be an obvious choice for most anticipated, but not sure if it will come out in 2019, so I chose some games that are definitely going to make it.

Yeah I'm unsure if we will actually see Cyberpunk as a late 2019 game or not, It would be great for it to be arriving within a year and carrying the Witcher 3 momentum and a good showing from this upcoming E3 it could be somewhat the RDR2 of 2019 which in turn would be good for Xbox having marketing rights going into next holiday compared to the 2 main bundles been the two most trashed upon games of the year this time round.
