Buy Half life 3 as an exclusive and reannounce scalebound. Also buy Crash 4 and an exclusive new Spyro game and announce Minecraft 2.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Annouce a bunch of exclusives for the end of the year and the next one. And showcase some games for Scorpio that would simply not be possible on Sony's hardware.

The tricky part about that is that every game on Scorpio also has to run on the normal Xbox One.

I had completely forgoten Minecraft could be a factor. But don't you feel It's time has passed? It just doesn't feel as huge today as it was a few years ago.

$499 Scorpio plus VR headset bundle.
GTA 6 and RDR2 to have exclusive VR mode on Scorpio, full game playable in VR.
Forza Horizon 3 to get patched for VR for Scorpio.
Forza 7, Halo 6, Crackdown fully playable in VR on Sorpio.
Access to OR and Vive games on Scorpio.
Scorpio compatible with Oculus touch.

Nah, it's gonna be a 4K box for the hardcore, not a VR box for the masses. But I can dream for a few more days.

By showing the best games If they end up reviving TimeSplitters 4, that'd win it right there...unless they screw it up with a shit ton of DLC and microtransactions.

Wasn't there a thread of this exact same topic not that long ago? If they can make exclusives and keep a steady pace, they'd do pretty well but it's too late. They don't have the 1st or 3rd party exclusives to wow people or many studios to keep up production of exclusives.

For me?
-One or more of the following (Halo RPG, Fable Reboot, Perfect Dark reboot, Age of Empires 4, Conker sequel, Smash Bros. clone, MS Kart game)
-Showing some effort towards fans of Japanese games (even if it's just multiplat ports instead of exclusives I'll be happy)
-Showing a decent number of games that have improved graphics/framerate on Scorpio instead of just 4K
-At least one new AAA IP
-Halo 6 beta with Crackdown 3


For the majority?
-Let's be honest here, MS can't win in the eyes of the internet. Even if they announced Fable 4, Age of Empires 4, Banjo 3, Half Life 3 as a console exclusive, and Scorpio for $400 with a bundled game, the majority would still claim that Sony won, even if they mostly show trailer/demos for games they have announced in previous years. It's simply not possible for MS to win.

That. Everything, including the bold part :) 

I mean 66% of the "gamers" (console owner) will claim Sony won no matter what they do as we saw in the past years E3 :)

Regarding poll options, as a Microsoft enthusiast; I obviously believe they already have the winning hand but if they come up with 299$ (which is very unlikely) it would be nuclear.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
