The real Xbox One Phantom Dust is cancelled, the one they have coming is a HD Remaster of it.
"Phantom Dust is getting an HD remaster next year, Not to be confused with the cancelled remake."

The whole post is so harsh and true at the same time. Things aren't looking good.
I think Xbox fans would admit this is getting kind of ridiculous.

Not looking good, but better than Scalebound.
@Septic and Christopher
Phil Spencer literally runs the Xbox Division and before that ran Microsoft Studios. Who else's fault is the mismanagement of resources for development?
If he is going to get credit for things like Tweets and B/C, he should take some responsibility for the lack of management in other parts of the division.

Yes, they might even have 3. I think they divide how they feel like at the time.
They released MGS:Rising, Bayonetta and W101 all in the same year, if I'm not mistaken.
I doubt it and if it was that, it would be an even bigger insult and backlash.
@Christopher
In all reality they (Microsoft) should have asked/paid for them to make an action game (similar to Bayonetta) instead of venturing off from what they do well. Also it has been in development for about 4 years, they should have known it wasn't up par a long time ago.
Regardless, they dropped the ball.
Microsoft has been dropping the ball hard with Xbox One software.
Phil Spencer hasn't done the greatest job either, regardless of how you feel about Scalebound. It's another lost opportunity and they need all the games they can get at this point.
Edit:
Shinobi602 is saying (he's heard) that Crackdown 3's development is not going well either.
Yeah, that's bad.
This is good.
It's cancelled. Eurogamer just heard the same thing from multiple sources.

Eurogamer confirms it with multiple sources too.

What a disaster. Phil Spencer's mismanagement of software for Xbox One is unreal
I always thought it looked iffy, but I thought it would release and have the chance to prove me wrong at least. I'll always give Platinum Games the benefit of the doubt (for Bayonetta, Vanquish and Transformers), but sometimes they makes some bad games (like TMNT).
The more people talk about Scorpio, the more it sounds like a next gen console.
People talk about Crackdown as a launch title, suggest Scalebound has been cancelled on Xbox One for Scorpio, talk about allocating resources to it, holding back new games to show at the unveiling and so on.
People have came a long way.
