Why would anybody be blown away by games we already know are 100% coming to Xbox?

Seriously, if anyone is "blown away" by sequels to long running franchises or yearly multiplats then they're too easily pleased...

wait, you can't be blown away by sequels?
When Forza 7 looks phenomenal, heads and shoulders above every other racing game before, I can't be blown away, because I knew the game was coming out?!

I know there will be HUNDREDS of games coming to Xbox anyway, RDR2, Battlefront, Assassin's Creed, etc. They need to show great visuals to let everybody know, these games will look best on Scorpio. 

Well sequels to long exisiting franchises- Forza 7 will turn heads with updated visuals, and be exiting for the fanbase, but won't be remotely surprising.

We expect Scorpio to deliver better looking games, we expect it to launch at a competitive price point and we expect the old MS staples to appear on it. Those things are just a given.

It's the unexpected cards they probably have up their sleeve for this reveal that are going to add some real buzz and excitement around the hardware. They need something new and unexpected to blow us away.  A new IP, an old IP with a new twist, a major third party exclusive built from the ground up on Scorpio. It's essential they get a strong first party push, because the evidence is there, the industry will continue to prioritise weaker hardware, and outside of first party, it's most likely just going to see a resoultion bump.
