Why not The Outer Worlds 2 in 2026 and Clockwork Revolution in 2027 then. That hurts to say though, because Clockwork Revolution looks amazing, Lol. Of course there is no reason why they can't do 2 WRPGs in a year, it's just fun to think they could have one every year They could fill it with a JRPG 👀

The Elder Scrolls as a 'launch' title for Next Xbox sounds perfect to me, a year before the gen would be a waste but imagine the next Xbox having an Elder Scrolls as a launch exclusive (or near enough), it would actually give Microsoft a fighting chance against Sony to take a real lead at the start of the generation.

I think Elder Scrolls VI will be 3 years minimum after Starfield, 4-5 years way more likely. Bethesda Game Studios isn't large enough and Todd Howard likes directing everything so he can't put full focus on Elder Scrolls until Starfield is out of the way and remember, Starfield will also have likely two large expansions at minimum which diverts staff before they can fully move over to Elder Scrolls.

Xbox saying they have no interest in a Xbox Pro makes me curious, if PlayStation does a Pro but Xbox doesn't, is Xbox going to try to launch next gen before PlayStation? Could we see another X360 scenario where Xbox launches a year before PlayStation? Xbox launches next gen in Holiday 2027 and Elder Scrolls VI launches Early 2028.

With the way how similar both Playstation and Xbox are in terms of hardware this and previous gen and how quick technology is improving these days, I don't see Microsoft doing a 360 scenario again. Because it would mean they will be releasing a noticeably worse and outdated console to have an unclear advantage of 1 year head start on the market.

I remember when I was in Japan but this was a while ago during the 360 era. MS actually had a decent presences in Japan's bigger stores from what I remember but compared to Nintendo it wasn't even close and Sony was even a distant 2nd compared to Nintendo at the time. I am sure nothing has improved for MS in Japan but it would be nice to visit again to see if MS even have shelf space. Interesting enough, MS did have some games from Japan devs that did not make it to the West which is a surprise that a few took the risk on the platform without the support of western customers.

From what I understand, the big issue for Microsoft in Japanese stores is that they have nothing to put on the shelves. There are no physical releases for Xbox games in Japan except for a very small amount of games. The best case scenario is that 2-3 of all Xbox games releasing each year are getting physical releases there. And I think there were years during Xbox One gen with no physical releases at all.
