Lmao with so many great exclusives?? What great exclusives? What exclusives at all?
MS is so bad in the first party section it's not even funny.

This is hardly shocking. The game was set for release in a set of a few months and the little we've seen from the game doesn't look all that hot.
Hopefully the delay does it some good.

Maybe they're going actually to try improve game based on reception they got after E3 showing. And holiday season is already packed full, so it's fine by me. Also, overreaction, the thread, people seems to love talk about how Microsoft is doomed and lost the point.

And before that it was supposed to show the power of the cloud on the regular Xbox One. The development has been troubling to say the least.

I'm fine with this. Take your time and make it great. I have plenty of stuff to play this year.

Maybe they're talking about their competitors' machines?

Game looked shit at E3, so it probably needs this.
We have pc, switch, 3ds and ps4 killin it this year, it kinda is sad that Xbox has nearly nothing this year.
Hopefully for them and their fans/console owners the situation improves next year because it seems 2018 is shaping up to be a freaking great year too gaming wise just as 2017 is/was.
The biggest issues are their exclusives problem and missing out of some fantastic Japanese games.
Altho luckily Monster Hunter is coming cuz i wanted to buy a xbox sice a majority of my friends own that. And since it seems nintendo is going with 1 platform and probably mobile forward i can replace the second hardware with a xbox one. But yeah it disappoints me that they had such a bad year this year.

I see that they are trying to dethrone Persona 5 as the king of delays
Seriously tho, how many time has this game been delayed? It feels like It has been announced forever.

I get that people have decided to laugh at this but honestly it's the right move in every way
The game clearly needed work and November was a horrible launch period for this.
Spring 2018 gives it a much better chance. Good move MS

I have said the following since E3 2016 -
Microsoft should have delayed the Xbox One X until fall/holiday 2018, call it Xbox Scorpio, make it fully backwards compatible with Xbox One but make it their fourth console (Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Scorpio). They would have had a far better console with most likely an upgraded CPU, far better lineup including a few true exclusives, massive backwards compatibility lineup and Game Pass.
While I have no doubt that Forza Motorsport 7 will be amazing, im happy that I decided to just stick with the Xbox One Slim as my secondary console simply because for me, there's truly no reason to buy an Xbox One X.
To me, Microsoft will basically end up being where for the first time ever, a hardware manufacturer loses twice in the same generation. Still shocked that the geniuses at Microsoft didn't say to hell with the "one" brand and move on. Oh well.

lmao wow, just cancel it at this point lol.
Well, that was always gonna be Forza 7.
game looked rough + something was fishy when they didn't show let alone market from the rooftop the one portion of the game (MP) where the power of the cloud was said to shine
they're doing the right thing by delaying, good on Phil for not choosing any of the shittier options like releasing the game in its current state

Nah, I'm fucking dying. I tried not to say anything but this is hilarious. Well, it didn't look very good to begin with.

That is 2018 as well.
So the 2018 lineup is looking like
Crackdown 3
State of Decay 2
Sea of Thieves
Ori
Forza
Halo 6
Those first 3 were all delayed from this year.

Well at least we got Cuphead. At least they have a pretty hefty 2018 lineup ^
But when you compare it to Sony's...

I enjoy a bit of Forza but I was under the impression (I could well be wrong) that Horizon was a lot more popular than the main series. Seems a bit of a dry game to pin a console launch on.
