While on the internet this looks bad and it has soured many people, reality is this game probably was not going to be successful enough to make a return on a 5 year investment.
The question is what does MS do to address the content for the platform and Scorpio at E3:
Likely:
Halo 6 teaser (2018)
FM7 showcased, launching fall 2017
Sea of Thieves, Crackdown and State of Decay 2 for Q3/Q4 2017 obviously...
Dates for Ashen, Below, Tacoma and Cuphead
But what new announcements could they drop to excite the base (as beyond looks crickets)?
Ryse: 2
A new Splinter Cell (exclusive or timed?)
Alan Wake 2
Mistwalker game (least likely)
Perfect Dark Reboot (most likely next Rare project?)
Phantom Dust (more like a budget Remaster)
New IP teaser by The Coalition? (unlikely)
It'll be interesting for sure to see if they have anything in the tank. Right now losing Scalebound is a big blow to their efforts to build IP.

I agree it's a blow. But, just like how it came out of nowhere, they could just announce some other new IP. I mean, I'm incredibly hyped for Horizon on PS4 but I didn't know what it was a year ago. With a new console on the immediate horizon, I'm sure something will fill the void.

But we basically know what all of Microsoft's exclusive studios are working on, and it's very unlikely that there's a "system seller" being provided by a third party. Besides Horizon has been advertised for a year and a half(since e3 2015) and it's now featured in Playstation 4 ads on TV before it's even out. Sony knows how to market their exclusives.
