Well. As far as I know, Crackdown 1+2 weren't massive console hardware pushing sellers, so I don't expect Crackdown 3 to break that precedent. - Happy to be proven wrong though, Microsoft needs the success.

2018 should prove the be the interesting year for Xbox.

Sea of Thieves, Crackdown, Halo 6, Forza, State of Decay 2, Ori and The Will of the Wisps... Gears of War 5 might get pushed out to 2019, but 2018 could still happen.

But 2019 could end up being a repeat of 2017 with only Forza holding down the fort. Yuck.

Microsoft needs to build out it's first and second party studios... But that will take time and investment, something which they aren't doing right now as they are maintaining investment levels.

I think there's  little chance Microsoft would launch Gears 5 and Halo 6 in the same year. I think you're right that Halo 6 will be 2018 and Gears 5 will be 2019.

I dont know, I might be wearing a tin foil hat rigt now, but this all seems intentional. This yas has been so sad and sony is buzzing with possitivity and huge line up and 2018 looking even better, that makes me think all the games aimed at 2017 being now 2018 was intentional so they can actually have the greatest line up in xbox history. inmagine gears in summer then halo a couple of months later then finish with forza along with all theese smaller games evenly spced alone the begining of the year like state of decay, se of thives, crackdown, ori and the other ones. Sonny would still crush it but they can ride that hype for the rest of the gen.

Edit: P.S. dont really think fable and scalebound are completly dead. We might see something creaping in the future just to not let all that development go to waste.
