What Microsoft needs?

$299. 85 23.55%
 
Switch clone. 14 3.88%
 
Knack 2 exclusivity! 68 18.84%
 
Resign and go 3rd party. 134 37.12%
 
Nothing. 6 Tflops bitches! 60 16.62%
 
Total:361

Please don't confuse Microsoft bleeding JRPG's as a sign of them bleeding third party support. Less JRPG's doesn't mean less COD, FIFA, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, etc.

Also since when did Scalebound considered to be "highly anticipated"?

Fairly sure we have already had several of these.
What can they do? A lot of things.
What will they do? Nothing.

What can they do with the Scorpio? Also nothing.

It will have no exclusives, they will continue to release few games, and will still constantly milk Forza/Halo/Gears.

Wait I have one idea. Announce they are selling Minecraft and investing that money into actually bringing NEW games to the market, instead of buying games they were already getting.

edit: Oh also Scalebound or Alan wake 2 would help.

Really? I couldn't find any active thread with the same topic now that we are so close to E3. But I don't mind closing this one if theres another one already.

Sure, but  COD, FIFA, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, etc. are a given in the competition, usually JRPGs signify more variety. 



Nothing

Sony is gonna win gen 8 by a longshot, and Nintendo has gotten out of their drunken state. Xbox has no chance anymore. The reveal and terrible launch really hurt it



Doesn't matter when PS4 will be cheapest place to play all these great third party games. And history has show price matters more than power. Denying it is simply lying to yourself.

Are you implying the Switch is gonna be a comercial failure because it costs more and later this year both PS4 and Xbox one are gonna lower their prices anyway?



Switch is unique. I wanst implying that. 



All in all Xbox is part of the larger Universal Windows Platform. It doesn't have to win the console market, and with the ability to play Xbox games on any Windows device, Phone, Tablet, Laptop, and PC, it is crazy to thnk it can could ever reach PS4 levels.

I think for Microsoft to be successful at E3 they have to show the value of Xbox as part of the Windows ecosystem, and in return Xbox needs give people more reason to buy games from the Windows/Xbox Store. I think they need to announce more Play Anywhere partenerships with 3rd parties, as well as beefing up the ability to Mod UWP games via both Xbox and PC.

Out of the options above I voted for a Switch Clone. A Xbox Phone as part of the UWP would be a great addition. It does not have to move mountains to be successful. As long as they sell at break even or small profit on the hardware, the use of standard tech and being part of the larger UWP ecosystem would make R&D nearly free. So even if they only sell 10 - 20 million, it would be good business for them, and only strength their brand.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
