Bored yet of the idea that the Scorpio is dead in the water regardless of how impressive the hardware is? No? Then this is the perfect article for you. But as cliché as this belief already is, the point still stands: how is the Xbox team going to truly impress at E3 without a strong software lineup? Some disappointment has already been set in motion, as 343 Studios has admitted there will be no Halo 6 stuff they care to share, one of Microsoft’s few exclusive franchises that can still turn some heads.



…with smaller internal development capacity, I don’t know where the games are going to come from. I don’t believe that it has the respect or number of sales this far down the line to buy up exclusives from third-party developers, not when it has so willfully chopped its own staff down, from Ensemble to Lionhead. The Scorpio won’t thrive by sharing massive third-party hits like Destiny 2 or Red Dead Redemption 2 no matter how big they’re going to be, especially when PlayStation has already got partnerships in place. As much as we’re all going to get a kick out of seeing the new console design for the first time, a higher price than the PS4 Pro is going to shock us back to reality.
