9 Launch Games That Would Ensure Xbox Scorpio's Success
Wouldn't you want to play the best possible version of Red Dead 2?
"The most powerful console ever built."
That's not a sensationalist statement, it's one rooted in fact that Microsoft (rightly so) is quite proud of stating. As Project Scorpio's gestation period shrinks with each passing day, the world's excitement levels rise in tandem, but what good is the Xbox One's more powerful counterpart without a library of highly anticipated games to go with it?
By a considerable margin, Sony's so far outpaced Microsoft this year with incredible exclusives like Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn, but the latter appears perfectly content to bide its time until it's right to strike. Scorpio will, without a doubt, be spearheading the attack with exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3 in tow, but let's not underestimate the power of third parties.
Scorpio's raw power will make it the go-to console for the definitive versions of any multi-platform game and, if Microsoft plays its cards right, scheduling its launch to coincide with Rockstar's, EA's or Activision's triple-A heavy hitters later this year could prove to be a surefire route to success.
