The last e3 that Microsoft had a LOT of surprise announcements was e3 2014, where they announced Scalebound(cancelled), Crackdown 3(might take more than 3 years to make..super delayed), Phantom Dust REMAKE(cancelled - now a port), Fable Legends(cancelled), and Sunset Overdrive(flopped). If they have a lOT of surprises most of them are going to come more than a year and a half down the road - that's actually much worse than Sony(something no one ever brings up , it's like people forget that Microsoft is worse than Sony when it comes to delays). 

 

If we do get a surprise that will sell Scorpios, it will be Halo 3 Remaster, Halo 6 beta, or MAYBE a rushed Halo 6. But the last one is a bit unlikely. 

The new title are needed for 2018 and 2019 lineup thats the annoucement I'm expecting at this E3. I don't see Halo 6 until 2018. If I were Microsoft I would release the scorpio with a bundle 4k optimized version of both Halo 5 and Gears 4.  The launch lineup for Scorpio would include Scorpio optimized Forza Motorsports 7, State of decay 2, Crackdown 3 & Sea of thieves.

Pretty sure Crackdown 3's developement team alreaedy confirmed on their twitter or something that Crackdown 3 is a Scorpio launch title with 4k support. Which, to me, really means "this is what you get - this is the Halo and/or Gears of this year". That is unless they release a Halo 3 remaster(something i'd actually be excited about). Crackdown 1 got good sales off a Halo 3 beta, and since Halo 5 got a beta in december and scorpio is releasing in the holidays, I would not be surprised if Crackdown 3 was advertised as a reason to buy an Xbone for the Halo 6 beta. I'd make sense too because 3rd person open world games are super popular.
