Final Verdict

I wouldn't use the word 'safe', but rather that ntkrl spoiled the broth. Many people got very excited at when ntkrl spilled all the sphaghetti, but that's where we start seeing the negative impact of that leak. Suddenly, those leaks were 'the minimum expectation', and MS was expected to do more than that.
Even more so since Crackdown and Scalebound are 2016 projects. Spencer tried to hoodwink that fact by calling it '2015 and beyond', but ntkrl revealing that MS's biggest 2 upcoming reveals were in fact slated for 2016 is not a net positive.
Yea lol, I was wondering if I was the only one who caught that "and beyond" part (also reinforced by the fact that none of the CG trailers they showed would even put a vague '2015' release window up for the game.
Looks to me like MS has the X1 lined up to receive a steady stream of 4-5 big AAA exclusives every year, just look at this list as proof, its like a pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced several 2017 games at next year E3 too unfortunately...
