@chiefwiggum16: Wont happen, Sony is investing in VR so wont risk money on another project that is unlikely to improve their share of the console market, remember they are already winning by a massive margin, Microsoft is about to release the XoX which is already a risk so late in the gen, they wont take another, even if their CEO wanted too Microsoft is controlled by its shareholders and they wont let it happen, not unless Microsoft regains some of its market share from last gen, and Nintendo has proven they wont be beaten when it comes to handhelds for decades now, so its a risk the others can't afford, maybe next gen they will all release Hybrid systems, but then there is the problem of the limited supply of rare earths needed, so its still very unlikely.
@graffitiheart: Yeh they need to start announcing new titles that are coming out next year and into 2019, Get gamers excited about the future of the xbox, right now the games you mentioned and Cuphead arn't going to draw in the gamers like Sony and Nintendo's line up for the next two years are.
@blood-souls: It could be Nintendo are holding back their console slightly to make it more desirable, but its more likely they can't get enough screens due to the limited amount of rare earth that is produced each year for flat screens and companies like Samsung and Apple taking the lion share of it.
@blood-souls: Nintendo can't produce enough to outsell Microsoft over the holiday period. And there are enough Fanboys to sell a few million in November and December alone, and just because Microsoft win for a few months doesn't mean a major comeback, just means the people who want the system have it, after that they need to win new customers, which needs new games not slightly improving old ones, because most people don't ever go back to old games once finished.
Microsoft need to start announcing exclusive AAA games, doesn't matter if they are a couple of years away, just tell people whats coming, right now Sony is announcing new games every week and their console is easily on course to outsell the PS3, the same can't be said of the xbox one, the XBX will sell alot over the holiday period and outsell Sony and Nintendo for a couple of months but after that they need games to sell it.
@chiefwiggum16: slim chance Sony might try again, but its highly unlikely Microsoft will, they need to concentrate their effort on selling the Xbox, which likely means putting money into exclusive games, not into a handheld device.
Sensible approach, this way gamers can still voice their dislike of changes, ie payed mods system skyrim/fallout, but not do to much damage to a games sales when it has nothing to do with the problem that's caused the score drop.
