Dealspwn: "In many ways, just like Sony's press conference, Microsoft's was more of a statement of intent than anything truly revelatory. However, that's where the similarities ended. Sony presented a show aimed clearly at gamers, gaming communities, and the developers and publishers of those games. Nearly everything in that show, even the lengthy waffle about social features and hardware gimmicks, most were couched in the context of the PS4 as a games console.
"By contrast, Microsoft were careful not to describe the Xbox One as a games console on a single occasion."
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
The reveal wasn't for anybody. It was terrible.
"Did you hear something drop? I think that was XbOnes sales"

I can see the Sony office having this Convo in the future.
it was for me.
it can do everything the PS4 can and more.
i really like the fact that you can just walk into the living room and say "xbox on" and everything turns on.
i also like the fact that i can skype while gaming.
and also that i can snap anything to the side.
i also like that i can switch channels with my voice.
its even connected to my cable box so no more hassle changing from xbox to tv.
They improved xbox live even more by adding 300.000 DEDICATED servers. So it doesn't need to use other players connection as servers. which means no more lagfests.
I also really like the controller. it went from the best (xbox 360 controller) to the perfect controller.
this event was not about the games. it never was, they made it clear. It was about the consoles features and specs.
E3 is going to be about the games. They said so themselves. and also that they will have 15 exclusives next year, including 8 new franchises.
This is the only true next generation console.
It only does everything.
It was for the people who almost certainly weren't watching, and probably aren't even all that interested.
Most of MS's presentations haven't been for gamers. Especially ones related to the Kinect.
