Microsoft teases for E3 with countdown: "And it's on..." #1

So yea, we all knew it was coming, but they've never put up a countdown to E3 before, and it's nice to see some semblance of official "marketing" finally kicking in, so to speak.

Here we fucking go, Durango.

Your move Sony :P

Ho snap... hoping for PS4 as well!

I have no loyalty between the two... whichever has the most JRPG's, I will get! It'll likely be PS4 again though.

A countdown to an event more than five months away.

It's the bare minimum effort necessary for generating hype.

The Microsoft brand's so popular now that they don't really need MTV. Especially now that it's real easy to watch E3, and everything console-wise is connected.

It'll be even better because every new nexbox will come with a Kinect day 1!

That means devs can put Kinect in everything without having to worry about userbase adoption rates!

And i'll bet anything at least that 50% of their showing will be new Kinect focused.

You know what, it's what I'm most interested in seeing. Kinect has some promise, it was just not ready for prime time.

I was considering not taking off work for E3 for the first time ever after how horrible the show was last year. But this is getting the hype meter rising.

I guess Microsoft is telling Sony that they're ready to go and have laid down the gauntlet. How will Sony respond now?

Honestly, the fact that Major Nelson posted this 159 days before E3 pretty much confirms that Microsoft has something BIG to announce.

I hate it as a gamer, but love it when I do casual playing with younger cousins, nieces/nephews, and my friends when we get drunk.

Fruit Ninja is awesome when drunk, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I've almost come to terms with it, thankfully. I'll join you though to finish the process.
