Microsoft’s Xbox Media Briefing was the Highest Watched Moment of E3 2017 on Twitch

GitHyp: "While gamers will always be split over who they believe wins E3 each year, it looks like information on new consoles is still what gets the most attention. This year, it was Microsoft’s Xbox One X (formerly Project Scorpio) that was the key to winning E3 2017 based on viewer counts."

Scorpio was hyped the the high heavens so I’m sure that had some effect on the views.

[Letthewookiewin]

It was also the most disappointing. All year the Scorpio swept everybody off their feet, dropped them off in sad little man land.

[Skull521]

Of course it was, everyone wanted to see Scorpio, or XBOX. It may be a mid cycle console but it is ridiculously powerful and we all knew that with the specs being released a few weeks ago. It'll likely eclipse the 360 as the best console ever released.

aw bless, i'll wipe the salt from your eyes xx

[OB1Biker]

It's the different day and time. Usually I can't watch or have better to do

[RpgSama]

I saw it just to see the Scorpio, it's games and price only to be disappointed by what they showed, the same games as previous 2 to 3 years, but this time in 4k.

[OB1Biker]

There was some giggles like 'the most powerful console in any dimension' or the Ubi guy calling it xbone one X but I think Crackdown showing was a bit shocking with that CG acting looking like they r taking people for fools and underwhelming following after all the fuss about this game for years

[nX]

Kinda simple analysis, missing the fact that Ubisofts and Microsofts conferences were watchable at noon in Europe while Sonys is always in the middle of the night on a weekday, practically unwatchable for a whole continent.

[DiRtY]

But MS pushed Mixer really hard this time as well.

[naruga]

@nx exactly

[Gamist2dot0]

There was a basketball championship game at the same time as well - about 14 million viewers in the US.

[BlackTar187]

Wasn't it one of the most watched finals game of all time too? I know I watched it and I can't even call myself a basketball fan

[XabiDaChosenOne]

I had a stream of the NBA Finals and Sonys E3 running at the same time loool!

[nX]

I mean, I don't care about views and social media activity... but this site seems to make money off that so it's kind of ridiculous to not mention these circumstances in your analysis :D

Since Sony has a much greater following in Europe than in the US I'm pretty sure most Europeans watched parts of their conference the next day (and certainly not on Twitch) instead of staying awake.

[Aenea]

Noon in Europe? MS and Ubi were at 22:00 central european time, not noon.

[OB1Biker]

It's true. I think Ms 23. Anyway his point is it was an OK time for everyone in Europe but Sony was in the middle of the on night

[feraldrgn]

Yep, had to be up at 2am to watch Sony's here. =.=

[ninsigma]

Makes sense. It's on at a reasonable time in most places. 2am is not a particularly reasonable time in comparison 😂

[Wallstreet37]

Wow what a Stat!! Even better than God of War being most watched video game trailer on YouTube /s

[Summons75]

Well we all had big expectations for MS and the XOX and then MS dropped the ball real hard and most of us left disappointed. Far from the worst conference though.

[EatCrow]

It was average. Not terrible. But average. Most of e3 was average. Did enjoy Bethesda new sequels... Excited for wolfenstein and evil within. Yay. No need to wait till next year for those.

[steveo123456]

I agree. As a neutral, I think MS pipped it for me, sonys exclusives are nothing special and I like a good hardware launch. Do like the looks of Anthem though

[EatCrow]

@steve.
Good luck being neutral. N4g users don't like neutrals. They keep trying to find ways of calling you such and such fanboy.

Anthem looked awesome but I'm worried it's like destiny.. Although I know people liked destiny.

[2pacalypsenow]

I should hope so, everyone wanted to know about Scorpio.

Also it was held on a weekend..

[WelkinCole]

Game 5 was on at the same time as the PS conference. I know many people that cared more about Game 5.

If you look though on youtube views. Its easy to see which games on which console got the most attention.

[Kane22]

im sure TIME didn't play a factor in this at all......

[cfc83]

Which is kinda funny, because one of the highlights for me on console this e3 was discovering that mixer is better than twitch on a technical level.

[Donnie81]

It was a good show I was pumped when I saw metro exodus. I kept my expectations in check regarding Scorpio so I was pleasantly surprised. Games looked great on it

[CP_Company]

you mean on PC? right? or you do not knew that,that games mostly ran on PC? :)

[Critic4l_Strik3]

Well, everyone wanted to know the damn price of the console. Of course they were gonna have the highest traffic

[oSHINSAo]

On Twitch, without Mixer Numbers, i've watched it on Mixer and said like 300k at least viewers

[Vasto]

Microsoft won E3 easily.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Lol if you call getting bad press and negative reactions since their conference winning then by all means they def won. Listen I own both consoles and while ms didn't really show anything to get me excited and to turn my x1 back on for the first time in like 8 months does it really matter who "wins" e3 there's no trophy,prize etc and all it comes down to is personal preference.

[Vasto]

Bad press and negative reactions?
