Obviously, not everyone is going to do that. I mean, I am, because my 1440p/144hz monitor is sexy as shit, but not everybody. I don't think that's a valid criticism because it's not an apples to apples comparison. Console gamers still like their consoles.

5/10. It was a very average conference, almost like an "off-year" if you get what I mean (a lull between all your big studios). I mean it wasn't terrible, but MS didn't need average. They needed to knock it out of the park and they really didn't.
Forza looks cool (but it's Forza, it's not a huge deal since it's expected), and we got release dates for Cuphead and Crackdown. Crackdown looked like it got a big downgrade though. But the 3rd-party games looked pretty good for the most part.
Ori 2 looked absolutely amazing. It was by far the best game they showed, but it was also a known quantity.
so tl;dr - okay, but no surprises.
I doubt Namco would ever make a mistake like that again. They want to, you know, actually grow the franchise.

B- if you're already in their ecosystem with some solid games shown...
...but competitively I'd say that was very weak and they're wide open to get stomped by Sony now. Heck with $499 price tag Sony are probably scrambling to cancel price de cutting Pro.
Really feels their focus is PC/Xbox combined and they're not interested in trying to dominate console space anymore with their own console just an extension f PC platform. Quite odd but nothing really felt like it was trying to make their console a must have.

It was decent.
I'm just disappointed by the lack of new major IP more than anything else.

For a conference that was all about bringing Xbox back on top, they did...literally nothing other than drop the $499 price and show a ton of third party games.
That was worse than even my lowest expectations.

edit: that said Crimson Skies is super awesome.

That's how I feel. If I didn't have a gaming PC I'd be all over this. I thought they showed quite a few good games, and the expanded backwards compatibility program is great.

MS got PUBG exclusive so I'm giving them a solid A.
Also they've now got basically the original 60GB PS3 my favorite console in a very long time except it's on every single xbox one.

Super Lucky's Tale is probably my favourite of the show lol. Any new 3D platformers get me hyped, it reminds me of Klonoa and Banjo. The music was straight up Mario Galaxy too.

Deleted the launch ex and the multiplats, is this the complete list of the true exclusives?
There were exactly 0 exclusives announced. Was Crackdown 3 previously announced for PC? Because that's the only game I previously thought was an exclusive.
Decent conference for me as a PC gamer, but there's literally no incentive for me to get an Xbox.

I hated the whole 4k talk. They really pushed it out there but honestly not a lot of people have moved on to 4k yet. Overall I'd say it was a C. Some ok games with only Players Battground being a surprise exclusive for me. I honestly thought they were going to ps4 as well.

One of the worst conferences I've seen from MS tbh.

I think Super Lucky's Tale was a VR game, but I do like the fox's character design and art style. I'd pay up to $30 for a physical release of the game.
They showed the games and no bullshit (unlike EA) and that much I can enjoy watching. It's just, well, very few games grabbed my attention. I feel that's on me since my tastes are limited. It's happened across many years of E3 across all conferences. But I feel it was definitely more so the case for this conference than usual. Only games that really got me pumped to see is Metro and Life Is Strange.
And then there is the Xbox One X. Without the games, I just don't see any appeal for me to get it any time soon. Especially at $499.
To sum it up, for the majority of the conference I was on a different tab. My eyes weren't glued to the conference waiting for what is next like Sony 2016. This was a painfully average one for Microsoft.

Wut? It was the opposite for me, they showed tons of new stuff, but utterly failed to show their own content or tapping into their own IP and sequels.

I am not a PC GAMER. I will buy this at 499 with no hesitation with a 4K Tv to match.
Anthem looks like Xenoblade Chronicles USA.

I guess MS is trying to not show off games that are still far off and it was pretty apparent as there was no surprise reveal.
Also surprised they didn't show VR, unless I missed it during my toilet break.

Well that was a colossal waste of time. Nothing looked interesting - especially that soon-to-be-downgraded "Avatar meets RoboCop" at the end of the show.
...and on top of everything else - the jaw-droppingly lame announcement of the Xbox One X being $500?!?
Are they fucking insane??

All the Easy Access guys stating that the price and the fact that they have gaming computers, means that the X isn't in their future forecast. This Microsoft's problem. The price is prohibitive for a lot of people, and those who have the disposable income, may opt to upgrade their PC HW.

It was a good conference in terms of games but not as a way to sell the most powerful console on the market.

My rating is a 2/10. It was terrible with honestly no new innovative exclusives. Price is too high and the game list is shite tier for me. It's really not great at that price. They kept describing this console as powerful but as far as i'm concerned it is an X in terms of exclusives.
Grand opportunity sorely missed🤦🏾*♂️🤦🏾*♂️🤦🏾*♂️

I mean, almost 4 years into the gen there SHOULD be a lot of games. No excuse not to, so I can't give MS credit for just 'showing games'.
Their lack of compelling first-party output puts them leagues behind Sony and Nintendo and the gap is growing. This was expected to be MS' "don't count us out'" moment and they failed.
Or this is all they have to show.

Very good show. But they didn't sell me on the Xbox One X. I expected way more bigger games from MS themself. Most of the indiegames looked really nice, but I don't need an X for them.
I thought Sea of Thieves, Anthem, The Last Night, Metro and SoD all looked excellent.
But then there was so much filler. They didn't even have a gameplay demonstration for Crackdown, which looked really underwhelming anyway. I just don't know why I'd really need to fork out a lot of money and switch from my primary platform to buy an X. They didn't really give a reason.

They were selling me on the X at the beginning but the longer I watched, the less interest I had.

Conference was a joke, as someone who owns a high end PC, there is 0 incentive for me to get this console.
