Without knowing yet what Microsoft has planned for the Scorpio for launch this holiday, be it games, AR, the pricepoint or something else.

What would it take for you to buy it, and what gaming platforms are you playing on today?

I am a PS4 and PC gamer, and am more likely to buy the switch. I mean come on, it has zelda and the upcoming Odyssey. I don't have any reason to buy the scorpio. As a gaming platform it is just uninteresting. If the AR technology shapes up to be awesome for games, that would still hold me off.  Because it would mean buying a scorpio + some AR device = $$$. In which case I would rather buy the PSVR for my existing ecosystem = less $.

I really don't see what games they might announce, that could spark console sales. A new Forza, Gears probably not. A new Halo perhaps yes. But two of those franchises have lost their place of consumer demand.

I just don't see it.
Microsoft really needs to excell at this E3, or the scorpio will be DOA.
