This looks like a simple countdown widget on Major Nelson's blog. Not really what I was expecting.

Also, the real reveal will likely occur before E3, won't it?

[TheGreyHulk]

My body is ready.

[Air]

Hype. Don't disappoint Microsoft.

[Poker Face]

Really going all out for that Killer Instinct reveal.

Nah it's probably for that Conker sequel.

[Reversed]

Nothing exciting on the page's source code. :(

[Eggman]

YES!

Let's do this.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

They're going to have to impress me greatly. The less Kinect integration I see, the better.

[Meelow]

Really excited! I hope Microsoft shows off it's new IP's as well that's not an FPS, I hope for adventure/platforming/RPG genres.

If E3 2013 is like E3 2012...Then oh my

[RoadHazard]

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.

Except "normal" people (a very large majority of everyone who owns either of the consoles) don't watch E3, nor have they ever heard of it.

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

So..... wait, is Kinect going to be fun this time around?

I'm honestly don't see it ever being all that fun no matter what they do to it. They are better off saving money by not shipping it inside every box.

[Inorigo]

Yep.

[d1rtn4p]

I'm in if they tone down the Kinect stuff, quit with all the dashboard ads, and focus more on strong exclusives like they did earlier in this gen. If not, then hey, I've always been a PC gamer at heart...

[Guevara]

all kinect all the time.

It's like, how much more kinect could this be? and the answer is none. None more kinect.

[Air]

The good thing about this, is that by Microsoft hyping this up, maybe Sony and Nintendo have to come up with something to counter it. It looks like Microsoft is ready to shout to the world that their time has arrived and it's up to the other two to put up or get drowned in the hype.. At the very least this e3 will be far better than last years.

[Derrick01]

So..... wait, is Kinect going to be fun this time around?

I'm sure they'll tell us it is. Unless it sprouted buttons I wouldn't put money on it.

[flyinpiranha]

Next gen starts when MS says so.

[lexi]

Can't wait for this to be revealed so the retarded codename can fade into obscurity.

[BY2K]

This looks like a simple countdown widget on Major Nelson's blog. Not really what I was expecting. Also, the real reveal will likely occur before E3, won't it?

Well, technically speaking the Press Conference, thus the reveal in them, always are before E3.

[biosnake20]

If they unveil the new console at E3 will they still release it in fall or will they do something crazy and do a spring 2014 release? So many questions, so little answers.

[Bgamer90]

::rubs hands::

Yessssssss....

Can't wait.

I'm really thinking about actually going. The hype is going to be through the roof. I want to experience it first hand.

[EteRnal_PAL]

Next gen is almost here... I can smell it!

[Glass Rebel]

Do I want Microsoft to raise the baseline so I can get better looking PC games...

Or do I want them to release an underpowered piece of hardware for the sweet meltdowns?

[Inorigo]

Can't wait for this to be revealed so the retarded codename can fade into obscurity.

"Durango" has to be the most sensible codename I've heard yet.

[Napalm_Frank]

Orbis vs Durango will be extremely interesting. Their predecessors are both pretty much on equal footing before next gen starts. Has this ever happened before?

[Bullza2o]

Next gen is almost here... I can smell it!

Well the next big thing...is already here :P I'm serious, Wii U started it already

Anyways this just confirms it. I'll be buying whichever console gets Persona 5.

[Kikarian]

159 days to linear games using Kinect.

[lexi]

Do I want Microsoft to raise the baseline so I can get better looking PC games... Or do I want them to release an underpowered piece of hardware for the sweet meltdowns?

We'll get both. I think some people are expecting 32gb RAM. (lol)

[RoboPlato]

Man, was not expecting a countdown or a teaser this early.

[Bgamer90]

Except "normal" people (a very large majority of everyone who owns either of the consoles) don't watch E3, nor have they ever heard of it.

One thing that's big now though that wasn't really around back in early 2005 is social media. New Xbox unveiling is going to be all over the web.

I personally don't think that they really need to have another TV special.

[Reiko]

Durango Unchained

+1

lol

[Derrick01]

Do I want Microsoft to raise the baseline so I can get better looking PC games... Or do I want them to release an underpowered piece of hardware for the sweet meltdowns?

You'd have to be a sociopath to root for a thing that will negatively affect you as a PC gamer just to read forum meltdowns lol.

[MrNyarlathotep]

Based on the expectations some posters seem to have about what 'a real next gen leap looks like', it's very possible you can get both

[GeoramA]

It's on. Wonder who gonna get F'd in the A.

[ChosenPredator]

and so it begins about time

[Glass Rebel]

We'll get both. I think some people are expecting 32gb RAM. (lol)

Haha oh wow. This makes me pretty excited.

[miladesn]

maybe they start some ARG campaign again.

[BlackJace]

Based on the expectations some posters seem to have about what 'a real next gen leap looks like', it's very possible you can get both

Bingo.

[GhaleonEB]

Can't wait. I love generation transitions. It's been a long gen.

[RdN]

Here we go! About time to get some hype on.

[Dreamwriter]

"And it's on..."

Wow, he just gave the official name of the console away...the Microsoft On!

[jaypah]

Haha oh wow. This makes me pretty excited.

I visit every next Gen rumor thread and have never seen that claim except for once and that guy was joking.

Anyway, new consoles are coming and I'll be due for a PC upgrade. I can't fucking wait! Especially seeing the stuff that even midrange rigs are pulling off these days. I hope everyone has been putting ample thought into ways to easily get indie devs on board too.

[GopherD]

And the feeding frenzy begins. GAF will be a lathered mess come E3

[Coolwhip]

E3 is gonna be amazing this year. It has to be.

Last year everything was uncharted. Predictions for this year?

[IntelliHeath]

That was awkward motions. I think what set it off is their necks.

[Meelow]

"And it's on..." Wow, he just gave the official name of the console away...the Microsoft On!

More like Xbox On

[Proelite]

Last year everything was uncharted. Predictions for this year?

Needs everything was gif.

[MrNyarlathotep]

Last year everything was uncharted. Predictions for this year?

MOBAs

[Glass Rebel]

You'd have to be a sociopath to root for a thing that will negatively affect you as a PC gamer just to read forum meltdowns lol.

The first 1-2 years are gonna be fucking worthless anyway if this generation is anything to go by...

[Proelite]

I heard Durango is so powerful it's capable of curing cancer.

[IntelliHeath]

E3 is gonna be amazing this year. It has to be.

I agreed. It HAVE to!

Super Smash Bros 4 trailer would be perfect icing on the cake.
