Gonna throw in some predictions here

Opens with the reveal of Scorpio release date 11/15/17 and priced at $500 US dollars.

Crackdown 3 live demo and launches the same day as Scorpio

Halo 5 and Master Chief Collection will get scorpio updates and windows 10 ports.

Cuphead will be launch today.

Shadow Of Mordor Live Demo

Assassin's Creed Live Demo (I got a good feeling MS got the marketing deal for this) 

Sea Of Thieves on stage demo and will launch in early 2018 and a public beta this summer

State Of Decay 2 live demo and 2018 release

Ends with a reveal of a third party exclsuive that will cause Raise Of The Tomb Raider and Bayonetta 2 level of shitstorm. I have no idea what it could be though.

Most of that seems pretty likely. I hope Scorpio is less than $500, they really need to hit $450 or $400 with PS4 Pro likely getting a price cut to $350 this Holiday. I'm not so sure we'll see a big 3rd party exclusive this year though, it feels like Microsoft's Xbox budget has been majorly cut this year, so I doubt they could afford to moneyhat a big 3rd party exclusive.

I do not see Scorpio going for any less than 500 but then again maybe MS release it with a pack in game which would make it more digestable.  I do not see the scorpio aimed to gain marketshare on release.  It will have a premium price and definitely will be targeted at the buyer who has extra cash and want to play their favorite Xbox and 3rd party game in 4K.  This will be the focus for the system for the first year and sales will be low but probably at a clip MS expects.
