I doubt it will get much love anywhere. No matter how hard I try to sell that game, none of my friends ever bites...apparently their ambivalence extends to the market as a whole :(

It's pretty much panning out as I expected so far: PS4 strengthening and XB1 slowly dwindling. I cannot see how Scorpio can make any impact whatsoever unless MS pull a fast one and call it a next generation console. At least then they can manipulate the narrative and say they 'lead'.

True.  But that'll be a double-edged sword.  If they abandon the XBO, like they did the OG XB1, that's going to leave a bad taste in gamers' mouths.  Almost as bad as the one they left at the beginning of the gen.  It'll also be a sign of defeat, which could also be mocked and looked down on by gamers in general.  Especially after the promises they made for Scorpio, like no exclusives for it, except VR games that the XBO can't run.

It could also end up like the Dreamcast, where people were excited by a new gen and the improved graphics, so it sold decently at first.  However, the PS2 (PS5 in this case) came out a year later, after the major success of the PS1 (PS4) and blew it away.  It also won't help them now that all of their exclusives are going to PC AND they are skimming back on 3rd party deals.  What are they going to use to push the system?  Specs alone, contrary to some Xbox fans beliefs, do not sell a console.

There's also the added risk of looking even more defeated if the PS4 is still outselling your brand new system.



Looks like interest for the Xbox One is going to crater this year up until the Scorpio drops. It wasn't even necessary to announce it as early as they did since the One S was actually doing okay in domestic sales. Just kind of a panic move I guess. Now it looks like more price cuts and giveaways are going to have to happen from this point on.

This why I don't see a lot of hope in the future of the OG/One S. Because MS is putting themselves in the position of doubling down on Scorpio as the future of Xbox.
