Original Gamer: After every E3, everyone looks back and decides which of the Big 3 “won” E3. This year, the opinion is unanimous that Nintendo “won” with a press conference that was full of surprises. It came to my surprise when I read some sites declaring Microsoft the “winner” of E3. That’s when I realized that either the fanboys were out in full force or some journalists that were simply bribed by their shiny new Xbox 360 slim that they received for free during the Microsoft press conference.
Uncover the spending behind Xbox's Game Pass subscription. Discover how Microsoft invests a billion dollars annually in securing third-party games for the service.
Good.
Now that you´re releasing games and making big money from every gaming platform, you should double that amount and give us even more day one third party games!
I like how they twist cannibalising game sales into "invests".
No lifetime sales with MS, they'll F-up gaming the same as streaming services have done to the movie industry and it's workforce.
we know this, we have known this since last year.
this is not new or news.
Phil Spencer has sent a letter out to employees informing them that 650 jobs would be cut from Microsoft's gaming division.
The original story is from IGN as they are the ones who got the memo.

Still sucks!
A combined $80 billion spent on consolidating a massive part of the industry, thousands fired all to line the pockets of the already wealthy and turn the gaming industry into a rental service.
FU MS.
Not sure about the rest of the world, but here in Brazil we have a say that goes like this:
'May the last one to leave please turn off the lights'
What the heck is MS even doing right now?
Shaz from GL: “Amidst recent concerns surrounding Xbox, Phil and Co. need a win. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be it.”
Not worried about facial animations , but I do hope the gameplay is fun . Most definitely I will purchase this on PS5, if the gameplay is fun .
nice hit piece. I notice the writer didn't mention any of the journalists / creators who had good things to say. From what i hear, it has riddick: escape from butcher bay in its DNA. To me that sounds like something to be Optimistic about rather than pessimistic.
It’s odd to have a first person perspective for an adventure game with stealth and brawling. But’s not without precedent. Wolfenstein: New Order and Wolfenstein: New Colossus had a lot of adventure game elements. They were in the league of the greatest games ever, but they were both fun games. Indy looks fun too.
Yes, Indy looks like Todd Howard. Something feels way too off.
I Agree.
Predictable
The only thing in the article I disagreed with was that nintendo had surprises.
We knew we'd see the 3ds. Then they showed off a bunch of remake games and a equal. Then for the 3ds talked about a dozen or so remakes of games.
Remakes and sequels.
At least with sony you get new ip's and sequels.
Remakes are terrible.
the Microsoft conference was really boring and there wasn't anything that caught my attention. they really dropped the ball on this one plus the fact that natal (i refuse to call it kinect) is selling at 149.99 will put off a bunch of customers
any body who says microsoft didnt win the casual gamer side of e3, with the very impressive natal is either paid or a fanboy.
i am neither because i found microsofts e3 extreamly boring but alot of the casual gamers on the internet loved it and where realy impressed, esspecially the children and non core gamers loved it. so microsofts E3 beat wii and ps3 for the casual gamers. LET THE DISAGREES BEGIN!
MS had the worse E3 showings I can recall from any company in years.
My 360 buy list didnt increase at all.
As a gamer, I am really let down by the show that MS put on.
I hope they are saving stuff to announce soon, because they got their rears handed to them on all fronts
