They should buy the Splinter Cell IP. That's another great franchise that speaks Xbox to me. Always has..

A conference like PSX?
Pretty big deal for Xbox this year

Here's an idea...
What if MS go both first AND last to next gen?
Soft launch their next gen Xbox console via their new upcoming streaming service prior to Sony releasing their hardware and then sometime later release the hardware console.

Thats what I'd do.

It's preferable to Sony (Nin,Goog,Amz) going first. IF they have the infrastructure for it. The worst case scenario here is beating the competition to market with a streaming service that isn't up to par with physical hardware or worse.

Nice to show Mexico some love, they are one of the most loyal markets for XBox through all the years.

Hoping for good Xbox - PC Integration. Buy an xbox game, get the pc version for free. Save games carrying over. native mod support on console. Let you host your own PC as a dedicated server or use your own PC as a Streaming platform natively with build in tools.
Improve PC gaming. They have talked a lot since the Github purchase. Time for them to commit to open standards.

Whatever happened to game refunds? I know they beta tested it, but withdrew. Probably publishers don't like it. Somehow Steam got it through in 2015, but maybe XBox doesn't have the same leverage.
So you hoping for this
https://tech4gamers.com/microsoft-xbox-one-user-interface-in-windows-10/
The result of these important changes (which are coming since we know that the console is based on the x86 architecture) will take us to a world where Xbox One X can receive additional devices such as mouse and keyboard without the need for dedicated applications, since basically console will have a Windows 10 very similar to that of our computers, which will be responsible for installing the corresponding drivers, and on the other hand, will dramatically expand the Xbox Play Anywhere program, removing the current limitations and allowing 100% of the console catalog to be available for computers.
If I can play the Xbox One's entire library natively on my PC that would be amazing I mean Phil Spencer hinted Xbox Originals, and Xbox 360 Games coming to Windows 10 so hopefully all XBO games make the jump not just Play Anywhere

As well as crossplay. So one person can sit with one copy of the game and play on the xbox, and another at the computer. Perhaps from a streaming perspective? You log in with your xbox and windows account, and you simultaneously got access on xbox and PC from one copy of the game. That would be a major advantage and in contrast to the more and more rare local coop. As we transition into online coop only, this allows people to play together using two windows devices in the same home, giving players that social action they want. I cant do spit screen coop or multiplayer anymore. Something like this would fix that.
Or record video clips on xbox, have it save natively to windows 10, and have a build in xbox-based video editing software that allows users to easily edit and upload to twitch/youtube/xbox. there is a massive potential here for powerful integration that goes beyond fumbling with video editing controls on console.

Makes sense. They would not put up a show if there was nothing new to announce.

Now sure how that affects the enjoyment for anyone who owns it.

Nah. It would be enough to give Ashen a firm release date.

So your cool with a new Xbox announcement when the x is not even a year old
It's a new console and the Xbox One X is just an upgraded version of an old console

I bought a Pro day one, bought an X day one and will buy the PS5 and X2 day one even if they were released tomorrow.
I love new tech.

Next-gen systems are coming either way. It has no bearing on whatever is out right now. Anybody who purchased an X, including myself, knew exactly what they were getting. A late-gen console refresh to play the best console version of current-gen games.
Nevertheless, I highly doubt the next-gen system gets announced here. That will more than likely be a Spring 2019 announcement.
The XO18 event will be geared towards a couple new game announcements, more acquisitions, streaming platform, elite controller v2 (possibly) & maybe, just maybe, a few next-gen tid-bits to wet the beak until the official announcement/reveal.

Technically they already announced it at E3 this year.

After 15 months of the One X being a thing? That would be a disaster. Also, they just acquired those studios. The last two years have been lackluster for Microsoft exclusives, unless they have multiple aces up their sleeves which I highly doubt, they'd be putting themselves in a bad position for the next 3-4 years.

I disagree. The problem is that there's no technological leap to be had over the X1X any time soon. What would be the point of a 20% increase over what we have today? Microsoft will only release a new console when they think they have a substantial upgrade, probably focusing more on framerate (more powerful CPU) instead of resolution. They made moves with the X towards that with FreeSync and support for 120Hz.
The same is true for Sony. A minor upgrade over the X would not be worth it.

If you think there's going to be only a 20 percent increase in power if said next-gen systems came out late 2019, then there's not much to talk about here

Brace yourself for the next leap.

The issue is not XBox Scarlett, that will be a beast of a console. I'm more fascinated with the new games coming out of these studios they acquired & created. Second, the xCloud streaming service. A lot hinges on how good that works.
But regarding XO18, I expect they will announce some holiday XBox One S/X bundles(RDR2 is one likely one), Ashen release date, Below release date, more Crackdown 3 news, next Sea of Thieves content update announcement and maybe some xCloud stuff.

All this and then some^^ I'm hoping for some acquisition surprises, deffo. And expecting at least three dev houses joining the Xbox family.

Wish it was in a better location than Mexico City and I might actually attend. The smog is so bad there that I physically cannot go near without getting deathly ill.
That aside, I hope Microsoft shows some good things for the platform. Maybe completely redo the shitty Achievement System and remove the crappy Ads on the front page as soon as I load my console up? Oh also release Below already damnit!
