Fans rush to declare them winners when they show CGI trailers for games years out. They'll probably just announce their 2017 games with CGI trailers to pad out their meagre output like they did this year.

At this point, 2015 looks like this:

Another Halo, QB (early 2015?), another Fable, lets also throw in an obvious another Forza. And let's say one of the CGI trio actually makes it out. Let's just say, that is quite underwhelming. Heck, I can predict their lineups years in advanced:

2015: QB, Fable, Forza 6, Halo 5, Gears Collection, Phantom Dust

2016: Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3, Scalebound, Crackdown, new Rare game

2017: Halo 6, New lionhead game, Forza 7,

2018: Gears 5, new Rare game, Horizon 4/new Forza title, Perhaps another Fable.

2019: new console that launches with conclusion ti Gears trilogy, another Forza, with Halo 7 in the pipeline 

Throw in one or two externally developed exclusives ler year, another Halo collection sometime there, anf there you have it. And herein lies the issue with MS

 

Granted, I might be wrong but MS has given me zero cause to think otherwise and they've yet to start knvesting in their first party so yea, I'm not too optimistic,  especially if their 360 output the last 4 years is anything to go by

Their recent output is what I was forgetting, I guess I was being optimistic to wanting more for 2015 and hell even 2014, three big games a year and forza seems okay. But yeah your right, E3 2015 by your games list, can't show Halo 6, 5 isn't out yet, fable should be out so a new lionhead (and rare, downloadable) game is okay and can't show forza 7 if the next ones isn't out...

 

E3 2015 they will show Halo 5, "reveal" Forza 6,  show a teaser for Gears, gameplay for Scalebound, PD, and Crackdown, and show off a CGI trailer or two of games for 2017 which they will then show at E3 2016 along with a slew of multiplats. 

 

It will be solid, but it leaves little to the imagination. 

 

E3 2014 was strong as a Gamed conference but weak as an Xbox conference. Next year will likely be the same. If you don't intend on already getting an X1, e3 2015 won't change your mind unless you're planning on waiting till 2017
