What Xbox has done in the last decade or more is already well established and known. What they do moving forward is not yet known. They have an opportunity to blow gamers away with their showcase especially with the poor showing from PlayStation.
Somebody in another story said it best, "This is what things look like when you don't have competition."
I'm hoping Xbox does take advantage of this. It's when we start getting some strong competition going that we start seeing a lot more better releases and the consumer wins.
To be frank, this Sony presentation reminded me so much of an Xbox one. I was honestly floored by the amount of indie games shown. I'm at a point where when you do a showcase like this, just do a separate one for indies. Focus on AAA and AA because without that Spider-Man demo this showcase would've been one of the dullest I've sat through.
I'll be amazed if Xbox does worse... like amazed, but here's hoping they use this and bring something that's more like an M-80 going off instead of a sparkler.
Considering they are saying they won't ever be out of third place and that good games don't sell consoles, don't get too excited. Their attitude doesn't support innovation and a drive to push forward.
with WHAT? we know they only have Starfield and Forza 8 left for this year, and then the same story as Sony, wait for next year. are you hoping for them to just pull something out of a magic hat because Sony's show was a little underwhelming for some? that's not how game development works!
They have a chance to look better. Not much else. If they have a great showcase that'll be dope, but they aren't going to start selling as much as Sony that quick. Their showcase can help them out in the years to come if it's great. Sony showcase was mid, but again it's not gonna effect them. As the year goes on and we get Ff16 and Spider-Man, new 1st party games will be announced. Not to mention the ones we know about that just weren't shown this time around. I'll be watching Summer Game Fest and Xboxs showcase. Convince me to get an Xbox Microsoft.
Yea per usual the internet is jumping the gun. Once FF 16 (which less than a month away now) & spiderman is release, this average showcase will be forgotten.
Internet is not jumping the gun we're just not being hypocritical. Nobody is claiming that PlayStation will stop selling or that Xbox is going to start selling a lot. That's irrelevant from the subject. Even if Microsoft does an incredible showcase it's not going to make them sell more than PlayStation. That is already known. It doesn't stop their games from Shining and giving them an opportunity to impress
I never said FF 16 was an exclusive though. It’s exclusively coming to the PS5 this year, but after that, I honestly believe it’s going to release on the PC.
I’m failing to see the point you’re trying to make?
@gamerscore no I’m not but your missing mines … it’s a 3rd party company making this game not a Sony developer , these 3rd party deals Sony only fans be mocking MS for doing is what I’m saying and tell me I’m lying. It’s ironic those most of PS5 exclusives been coming from third party devs. Which idc about really if a dev choose to dev for only console or a publishers funds a project then keep it on their console if their choose. But to complain about one company making certain moves then praise your console of choose for the same moves it’s ironic asf to me. Like I always mention I have all 3 consoles so I’ll be playing everything , but it’s the fanboys that be confused asf.
Considering Ms has been building up to a good show for atleast the last 13 yrs, it would be about dam time.
Wish Sony could've kept the the battle of the showcases interesting though, all Ms has to do is finally show off a handful of 1st party's game they announced what seems like the moment they got greenlit lol
But yea if Ms can't take advantage and have a better showcase than what Sony gave then there is literally no hope left for them.
If they are giving up then shouldn’t that mean that they don’t have to show any more games or any more showcase? What is the point of doing anything if they are giving up?
ms at this point, is like that little kid you're telling not to touch the hot plate, and they just cant help themselves.
Starfield alone will not make a show better. maybe the 6 or 8 times they'll mention GAMEPASS will help em.
i honestly think that they shouldn't have tweeted out that some of the games shown on the ps showcase, are on xbox too, cause they could have just shown them.
It was smart of them to show that tweet. Now they wont have to dedicate time to games already shown by Sony. They can fill that time with more in depth game play of titles that are releasing this year or in the next 12 months. Lots of people want to know what is being done on the games they announced the last few years. This should be the opportune time to do that (key word should).
Xbox hasn't focused on console sales in a while. Only you guys still focus on that. If they were trying to outsell sony in hardware they wouldn't be putting their games on every single platform they can find. If Sony released games day 1 on PC PS5 sales would plummet too. It's basic common sense.
Yes, because Microsoft doesn't report sales numbers that means it doesn't matter... And you're saying this is an article that's trying to say that PlayStation's show somehow is handing xbox a lifeline...
Why is the xbox argument always so completely unable to see the big picture so much they can't even see the irony of what they are saying...
I hope you can figure out how what you said is a complete contradiction of what you just said.
***Because they have Gamepass subscription to sell? Would Sony allow Gamepass on Playstation?***
If Microsoft stopped worrying about hardware like Tedakin said and they treated it like every other subscription plan on there, yes. But we know that's not what was happening. We know Xbox is keeping hardware around to compete with Sony and we know Microsoft didn't merely offer the standard 30% cut to Sony on GamePass nor did offering GamePass mean they offered their games for sale on PlayStation in any other means. Microsoft wants their cake and to eat it too. Why are they special in the world of publishers?
If they want to be a publisher and subscription service provider, then they need to do that. Not think they're more special than anyone else. They're acting like Epic on iOS. They're not special. Follow the same guidelines everyone else does.
What lifeline? The only reason MS stated they have the same games is because those games were perhaps the crux of their upcoming show. I’m not expecting a miracle slew of first party titles from Phil. As per his infamous interview.
Man gaming really is such a knee jerk reactionary community huh. From Redfall spelling Microsoft's Doom to one exclusive light showcase from Sony. Everyone really needs to take a chill pill and stop being so sensationalist
I know. Insomniac is carrying Playstation. I don't know where Playstation would be without them and releasing games faster than any of their other first party developers 😂 if Microsoft keep buying studios they will have the opportunity to release 4-5 games every year whereas we will have to wait every 3-4 years for Sony to release a AAA exclusive. After Spider-Man when the next big AAA game coming out? I'll wait ✋️Horizon 3 won't be out until the next 4-5 years and I could say the same thing about God of War. Oh wait they have insomniac 😂
So Xbox new motto? Lol. Of course you're waiting wtf is there on Xbox? How is only Insomniacs carrying Playstation? Last I checked GoW sold 25 million copies and pretty sure GoW Ragnarok is doing well too. TLOU1 Remake is also in the top 10 games sales since the show released too.
God you're absolutely delusional if you think Xbox is going to kick into gear soon.
I mean, I had my issues with the showcase, but haven't the last several Xbox showcases failed to light the world on fire or do we really have such short memories?
Wasn't the best PS showcase we've had but lets not get carried away lol.
No dude, it didn't any lifeline. It will take years of great games after games to achieve that. Something that Microsoft couldn't do in the last 10 years.
It's not a show with games and blockbusters for 2023 not will achieve that.
Idk why everyone is suddenly throwing all their hope at microsoft. Just cuz sony had a bad showing doesnt mean microsoft will be any better. I sure do hope they have some cool stuff to show off but I'm not expecting them to deliver either.
I don’t think any of us should expect anything from MS. They’re going to rely heavily on third party titles just like Sony did. They’re going to announce the release date for the next Forza game, & then maybe (a big maybe) an actual gameplay trailer for Hellblade 2.
Then they’re going to put all of their focus on Starfield, that hopefully looks better than what they showed last year.
Avowed Perfect Dark Fable Forza Motorsport Hellblade 2 Indiana Jones Contraband Stalker 2 Everwild The Outer Worlds 2 Hideo Kojima Xbox Project (Overdose) State of Decay 3
My expectations are super low for the Xbox showcase. I'm expecting it to be third-party heavy
I doubt xbox will have much to show either. This digital showcase age has been nothing but utter crud. I miss e3 when companies had to crunch and show off great games. Now they're just taking it way too easy and their time for games that'll take 5+ years to make lol.
Nah they won't! MS shows have always been consistent with the message they want to convey There was the show with the word EXCLUSIVE in every trailer to mention they could have exclusives the show with 60 games for Xbox had no games the show with all playable on Gamepass And last year we had the show with games playable in the next 12 months.
So expect them to have a similar plan this year with mostly the CMA/FTC in mind
- Don't expect a AAA Japanese reveal trailer of a new game for MS wants to push forward the idea that Sony rules 90% of the Asian market nor should you expect a big 3rd party exclusive.
- You can expect several announcements of partnership for Xbox games coming now via Cloud on...
- A huge focus on how Gamepass has been great for the industry and small studios with the reveal of new games (from studios that praised Gamepass ).
- MS 1st party games are gonna be Starfield, Forza (November release), Minecraft Legend DLC for January and Hellblade2 will close the show with a spring 2024 release date.
Like Sony expect no new AAA game announcement or showing of others games
If Xbox doesn’t manage to miss this open net, they score a point, and I’ll happily acknowledge that. Unfortunately for them, they’re still 20 points behind in the game, so them winning this showcase face-off won’t change their position. I’m glad the Sony vs MS show soap is still going post-E3, but realistically speaking, it’s just drama.
No chance. If you look at the latest console sales numbers, it’s no contest. Xbox is losing again just like last gen. No PS4 owner is going to watch an Xbox live stream to determine once and for all of they are going to shift console platforms. The most anyone can hope for from Xbox is some more gameplay of Starfield, and I hope it looks better than last time.
Here is my prediction. MS has seen that Sony didn't put the last nail in their coffin and they are going to do everything they can to get some positive spin going. We know they dont have games, so they will have teams busily working on CGI trailers for games that might never see the light of day. This will all be smoke and mirrors because they are desperate.
Xbox has done even worse for the last 15 years lmao
They have a chance to look better. Not much else. If they have a great showcase that'll be dope, but they aren't going to start selling as much as Sony that quick. Their showcase can help them out in the years to come if it's great. Sony showcase was mid, but again it's not gonna effect them.

7 (5 New*) Exclusives from Sony. How many will Xbox show?
Xbox isn't even playing anymore. They took their ball and went home. It's just Sony and Nintendo now.
