We have no ideas on what Microsoft has plan past 2017. Microsoft wants to shake thing up with the Scorpio and have made the decision to do so way before their E3 2016 annoucement. Microsoft knows better then anyone that in order for the Scorpio to succeed it will need more then just being the most powerful consoles on the market. Microsoft has gone silent ever since they made the choice to produce the Scorpio. They need some hype to sell a new consoles and hype can only be generated by software. 

We’re working hard to deliver an amazing lineup of games to our fans this year, including Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves and other great experiences.

You seem confused. So let me try this again.

You said there will be a slew of software announcement. How many games would you say a "slew" is.  Do you think any of these games will be exclusive to the Scorpio, or designed for the Scorpio?

At least 4-5 new titles from Microsoft studios or partners.... but that's including Halo 6 and Forza which is already expected. There won't ever be exclusive Scorpio titles, all Microsoft exclusives are for Xbox one, Scorpio and Windows 10. I expect Microsoft to partner with some indie devs but I'm not including that in the 4-5 news tiltles. I'm also not including any VR or Hololens games annoucement that could happen at E3.

It is somewhat wishful thinking but also logical Phil Spencer took over in early 2014. Got rid of Kinects and brough backward compability. Microsoft probably started working on scorpio mid-2015 and with the new hardware they would of made decision to bring new software that would boost and help sell the Scorpio and Xbox one. Any new unannounce game development will take at least 2-3 years of development and these new game would probably not be ready for 2017.  But, EA 2017 is when we should get some news about Microsoft future plans.
