Xbox is in a pretty weird dilemma. For the long-term health of their brand, they need to bring in new players by publishing new IP. But in the short term, they can't really afford to. Through focusing so hard on Halo, Forza, Gears, Western multi-plat AAA, they have cultivated a fanbase that only really cares about Halo, Forza, Gears, Western multi-plat AAA. (If you have broader tastes than that, XBO is really the wrong choice of platform, unless you play on other platforms as well.) So any new AAA IP by them isn't really financially viable. Maybe Scorpio is an opportunity for them. If it brings in lots of new people, maybe that is enough people to make a new big-budget first party IP viable. But they are not really in the habit of introducing new IP this late into a generation. E3 will be very telling
