I would say it would probably be a master stroke for Microsoft if they announce next Xbox at E3 with late 2019 release. If they release after PS5 I think they already lost next gen as well. Unless they can compete with Sony exclusives which I seriously doubt. |
To me it also depends a lot on whether or not PS is going to have a large 25th anniversary event later in the year. That alone would be a major obstacle for MS. If PS were to add to that either new IP, $199 PS4 SS, $299 Pro S, PS5, or all of the above, it's going to eclipse Scarlet, unless it's something out of this world that blows up peoples minds and not their wallets.
If I were MS, and I were ready, but knew I had to deal with the PS 25th, I'd steer clear, even if that meant pushing the Scarlet announcement back until the early new year, and a launch by e3 at the latest. If I couldn't make that happen, I'd just give XB1X a full 4 years and try to have a worthy PS5 Pro competitor ready a year in advance for 2021.
