there is one thing a good launch with many games..and another thing to have a steady flow of good games..I am not sure about second with Microsoft..

I still don't trust Phil Spencer to pull it off. The Xbox division needs someone who wants to put games first. Phil would rather make elite controllers, controllers for the disabled etc.

Considering most of those Studios would have only just started working on games they probably won't be ready for a minimum of 2 or 3 years.

The Initiative didn't even have a prototyping team at E3, let alone the resources to go into full production on a new game.
Ninja Theory seems like they may have had about 80 people who could be in the early stages of making something new, so maybe by the time the next XBox is revealed they'll be able to show it and potentially release within the launch window of that system.

Playground Games are about the only studio I would have any faith could have something like a great new Fable game ready for launch, but maybe they will want to have a Forza Horizon game ready for next Xbox's launch in 2020. I doubt they'd want to be releasing Fable and Horizon on the same yearly schedule.

Undead Labs and the guys making We Happy Few are small Studios, even if they go on hiring sprees they wouldn't be starting full production on anything until they've prototyped and beefed up their resources, unless they're doing more of the same again.

Halo Infinite is likely a launch game given 343 hasn't released anything since 2015 and Gears is Microsoft's big Fall 2019 title for XBox One/X.

Microsoft are moving in the right direction, but they aren't where they need to be for most of these studios to be ready to release a big blockbuster game each by Fall 2019 or 2020, unless it's Forza 8 or Gears 5, maybe a small Rare game.
I'd expect 2021 or 2022 when we start to see the fruits of those studio acquisitions show results.

Maybe Ninja Theory could have a cool action title like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta and Playground holds off releasing Horizon 5 for a great new Fable launch for next XBox in 2020.
It's also be awesome if Rare had a third person none-Kinect Sport game, Banjo, Conker or Perfect Dark then.

Those games would make for an awesome launch lineup for next XBox IMO.

At this stage this is just pure assumption and a mind trip.

I think xbox one had a good launch line up but yea this one should be better.

Usually, Xbox launch with a slightly better lineup (but barely). Then it all goes to hell very soon after and the amount of exclusives they release just drop severly. Meanwhile, Sony's launch lineup isn't stellar, but they keep releasing more and more exclusives as we advance into the generation and they eventually just bury Microsoft.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with their new studios. Their perspicacious attitude toward advancing their standing in the industry has me curious. My question is; will they allow their studios a bit more free reign (a la Playstation) or continue what they do with their current studios? As a creative mind, I know I'd like a bit more freedom, it helps the industry grow. If it's the former, I'll probably pick up the next gen Xbox, if not, then I'll pass. I'm looking forwarded to seeing what they do though!

If launch day is -Halo Infinite
-Banjo Kazooie 3
-New IP
-What ever third parties have, especially Bethesda with Starfield

That would be an outstanding launch. Then Fable 4 in launch year? And whatever else they got cookin

These launch titles won`t matter, they will be playable on this gen also. As Its been said many times, everything moving forward will be BC.

Pachter, we don't need you to project the obvious.

new studios yes, but they cant just poop out incredible games. It takes years to make them and they are only starting.

Gamingbolt desperate for clicks

Pachter again? Lol “recent studio acquisitions will beef up content”..... wow what a genius 🙄

suX Box

Those studios have some pressure on them to deliver 90+ metacritic games.

Patcher always say the most idiotic things or the most obvious things. Tell us something we don't know for a change

I highly doubt he's right he's wrong 85% of the time Ninja Theory developed Hellbalde and the game hit 700,000 sales a few weeks ago they have the most powerful console for now but no numbers on sales maybe 4-5 million sold if that. You can have the worlds most powerful console and new developers but it you're not putting out major games that get rated great you're in trouble when is the last game Microsoft put out a game from first party that got rated great???? Sony and Nintendo have been putting out great games that are selling like hot cakes it shows Microsoft makes their money in software coming in third in the console war is possible and it can have them go third party they need new ips get the NFL Fever series back get the Goldeneye license etc etc revamp those games.
