Xbox One
Of the three major consoles, the Xbox One appears to be the most business-as-usual. We know they’ll be at E3 (where they might talk about their new consoles) and we know about their major exclusives for 2019. Gears of War 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Crackdown 3 are very likely to all make 2019 barring an unforeseen setback.
The great Xbox/Microsoft service infrastructure is likely to continue to improve. Play Anywhere, Backwards Compatibility, and Xbox Game Pass, all will continue to grow in scope, and offer a unique and positive reason to own the platform.
Assuming none of these features disappear next year — and let’s be real, they won’t — 2019 will be a great year for Xbox One owners.
As always though, it comes down the games for the Xbox One. With the PS4 possibly on the path for a slower year in 2019, the Xbox One could finally have an opportunity to shine.
