And why should it be? This has got to be the worst drought period for Xbox One exclusives yet. Anyone who cares anymore is likely waiting on Scorpio, with the rest hungry for some E3 announcements and release dates for games. Sea of Thieves has to be close by now, right?

Good to see Horizon climb back up. You got to stay on top of that stock for your major relelases, Sony.

Microsoft is taking a deliberate approach where they pushed for sales at the end of last year, knew Sony would start the year well, forfeit it and then start pushing their new console in E3 and continueing that forward to the end of the year and all of 2018.

If people like or dislike the strategy thats their own desision but its not going to be a good month for Xbox anytime soon, all their exlcusives launch after E3 and all their announcements are being saved. And things like Gamepass and BC titles are nice but won't push sales.

I agree with much of what you said. On the other hand, this plan may backfire on MS. The drought the 360 had prior to the XB1's reveal didn't do MS any favors either. While the DRM policies were the primary turnoff for most consumers, the XB1 reveal would still be bad without those policies.
