New exclusives, currently Microsoft just has nothing I'm interested in.

Honestly, what does Microsoft need to do with Scorpio to solidify your purchase?

If they announce Blast Corps 2 I am buying a Scorpio immediately.
They won't though. ;_;

Make a new good Banjo-Kazooie game and I'd honestly bite.

Blast corps wouldn't push me over but it would help, but Banjo, Conker, Jet Force, Perfect Dark, or something in general more similar to their N64 output would, even something like Viva Pinata would. It's a shame that I don't care for Killer Instinct as that's the only legacy Rare property to return that mattered.

This has been an incredible first quarter for video game exclusives and the X1 hasn't been part of the conversation at all. I feel that as long as I have a decent gaming pc, a PS4 and the Switch there's no real place for the Scorpio.

Get a bunch of jrpg exclusives like how they got me to buy an Xbox 360
Honestly most of them weren't great or were only timed exclusives (eternal sonata) but you had those few that were just great (lost Odyssey)

I'd have to be exclusives.
Mp And friends have me firmly entrenched on PS4 for any third party titles.

Man some people really put too much weight into this "i need exclusives111!!" thing. They have exclusives.
If you dont like them, 3rd party has a lot more stuff coming for you probably.
Dont get the issue anymore and it gets pretty annoying.

I think they've pretty much lost me now that all their exclusives are available on PC too. No need for a separate box when I've got a very capable PC.
They are right though, 3rd party is on everything so how do you decide what hardware you buy to play them on? Exclusives.
Not make it insanely expensive. Honestly, I'm already interested in getting the Scorpio as a 4K Blu Ray player, almost pulled the trigger on the X1S for the same reason, but the rumoured pricing has put it out of my budget :/

A Jade Empire reboot would be their best way to grab me.
This thread is about what it would take for people to come back with the Scorpio. You're annoyed by people explaining what they want? And lets be clear there are other machines people here already have that can play 3rd party titles.
I don't think they will/can, at this point. I was never deep in Xbox exclusives, while I am deep in PC exclusives. I'll be upgrading my PC this fall instead. It needs it after I went Slim/Switch this past 4 months instead.
I mean, Sony also took a long time to get me this generation and they got me through Japanese third/first party exclusives.
Nintendo gets me pretty easily, also through first/third party exclusives.
...
Moreover, I do think MS can get me on MS store instead through interesting first party games.

Yep. Only good exclusives would sway me at this point. They would have to be exclusives that aren't the usual Halo/Gears/Forza crap too. One great exclusive can sell the system, just look at the Switch. But, being Microsoft, I seriously doubt they have anything coming that will move systems like that.

Sony has so many high-quality exclusives between its first party studios and Japanese games that don't go on Xbox or PC. I have a PC that should be significantly more powerful than Scorpio, so I think I'm basically covered there. There really isn't much room for a Scorpio in my gaming life.

$500 or less and run some of my current, and future games better. Been ready to upgrade for a while.

I'm the weird position of being in the market for a 4k console. I'm still rocking an og ps4 but I'm looking at the pro. Right now I'm holding out for scorpio info and maybe a ps4pro redesign until E3 but honestly there's not much that could swing me back over to xbox. PSN and XBL are more or less equal, but I'd maybe get PSPlus the edge due to freebies. I bought so much digital content on the PS side during the PS3/4 era that can't see moving over. Not to mention all my PS1/PSP games. It would take a massive exclusive that I could not resist, something on the order of Zelda and there's just no franchise that I can think of with that kinda pulling power. So yeah, MS dug themselves into a hole and I'm not sure they can get out barring a complete generation leap.
Some people dont like the same things other people like, for all the praise forza gets here i cant get into them and haven't played one since forza 3, i owned every crackdown and fable and theyve essential put the latter series on hiatus, wanna know why i never brought a wii u? No relevant zelda or metroids despite smash , splatoon, and mario kart being generally well received. For every series sony has cancelled i liked theyve at least replaced it for another one ive enjoyed. It might seen nitpicky but people actually like things other than halo, gears and forza. I dont think anybody asking for them to become sony but they have to do better than what they did with scalebound, fable legends and phantom dust.
I mean everyone has an opinion and all and i dont want to come off as aggressive but if a 10 to 15% better graphical output than the ps4 is your main selling point versus a new 3d mario on a hot new Nintendo console, or a god of war or spiderman ps4 id expect similar results to the first quarter of this year.

They would need first-party titles that PC gamers care about first, sold somewhere other than the hilariously awful Windows Store.
The reality is that the vast majority of PC gamers do not care about MS first-party titles and the sales prove it. The few who actually did buy titles went through hellish experiences trying to download, install, and run them from the Windows Store.
MS can go ahead and run back to Xbox if they want. PC gamers literally do not care.
You shouldn't take companies so personally, they don't give a shit about you past your money. Games you want to play on a console carries so much weight because that's what you do with your game console. "Third parties got you covered" don't mean jack shit. They got me covered on PS4 too, where I CAN get my Japanese exclusive games. So if MS wants me to throw money at a console they either get games I want to play and cant currently play on PS4 or they don't and I save my money. Pretty fucking simple.

Yeah that's the conundrum for me. I've always been debating building monster a PC at some point, and Microsoft putting their games that interest me (if there are any at this point, given how my tastes haven't lined up with their output this generation) then a great PC and a PS4 seems like the ideal combo.

First they need to increase their first party output because right now they are severely lacking in that department.
Oh, forgot one thing.
Star Citizen / Squadron 42.
If they somehow manage to get Star Citizen on the Xbox One, I would be thoroughly impressed.

If I was able to buy a PS3 and WiiU then you'll be able to buy an xbone.

It would have to do something significantly different from PS4 and PS4 Pro to make me consider a purchase such as:
- Keyboard and Mouse support
- Advanced VR
- Mew online features
- Plenty of new exclusive IP
- Significant visual upgrades across most titles (particularly framerates) rather than just a res bump.

I... honestly don't know. I have a newish 55" 1080p plasma. Don't care about 4k. Wasn't impressed by a friend's pspro on 4k and hdr (over standard ps4) as I generally have a hard time discerning or caring about resolutions higher than 900p/1080p. For some reason, despite this, I'm hyped.

Sony just released Horizon, Nintendo just released Zelda... and Microsoft?, what is their next big exclusive release?
