I always thought Sea of Thieves was a console exclusive, but I could have sworn after the trailer and gameplay demo it said console launch exclusive.
They said what it was before showing, State of Decay 2 got me with that.

Wait you forgot State of decay 2 as an exclusive.
Did they say what Console Launch Exclusives means?
PUBG is Playerunknown's battlegrounds
Well most people are going to go for a One S anyway. Shouldn't be a problem finding people to play games with. Thats why the whole dead on arrival narrative people keep spinning is kind of hyperbolic. Even MS said the Scorpio is only going to appeal to the most core enthusiasts. I admit I was sad about the 499 Price tag. I had considered maybe getting an Xbox One X at 399 but now I'll just wait until a sub 250 price on the One S instead.I was on board with the press conference till $499...
It's not that I wouldn't spend $499... I did for the XOne at launch.
I just don't think the masses will spend $499 on a new Xbox when the PS4 Pro is $399...
This is seriously making me reconsider a purchase... because if there's no one to play with on the system, what's the point?
2013 ruined xbox for the next decade, he's done a great job all things considered. surprised this console isn't wii u statusSo during Spencer's reign he has managed to
Kill off Xbox exclusives
Cancel first party titles
Promise more than they can deliver
Announce consoles at higher price than people are willing to pay
Overhype and Botch E3
Sign off on some of the most cringe PR/Advertising messaging
I'm getting the feeling that a lot of execs at Xbox are just way too comfortable or way too deluded.
I think it's fair to say that even had they announced a lower price for the Scorpio, this conference would still be getting a lot of flack for lack of meaningful exclusive content. It was that bad.2 or 3 out of 10. When a conference sells you on not buying the new hardware, it's failed horribly.
Lol
The only way Sony wouldn't top this Microsoft presser is if they didn't show up at all.
Call Of Duty: WWII MP reveal/new SP trailer/possible Zombies reveal, Spiderman, GOW, Shenmue 3, FFVII Remake and if they show The Last Of Us II, it will bring diwn the house.
Well now that $500 feels more expensive.I think you'll see more 30 to 60 cases than on the Pro but generally I wouldn't expect it. The difference will be native vs checkerboard.
Major Nelson himself is indicative of everything wrong with Xbox right now. He's a Microsoft lifer in the echo chamber that is the Xbox division. They're dedicated to serving their ever decreasing hardcore fan base, without any real perspective on what steps they need to take to expand beyond that and actually take it to Sony.
The guy is weak. He doesn't have the clout or charisma necessary to get the backing and funding the Xbox division is clearly in dire need of. Meanwhile he just spits out PR coated lies on Twitter on a regular basis.
Let's leave it. You keep cycling back to arguments about non exclusive ecosystem.
As I noted originally in its own right - particularly if you game on Xbox - the conference was ok and showed plenty of games. I also noted if viewed competitively it was rather lacking in response to your query why some were down on it.
But you clearly can't accept that angle. It should be obvioud by the end of E3 though.
Actually this post summarises it well.
Lol

At this point I'm ready to agree with you. Whatever made the launch 360 special MS has clearly forgotten. Games are what drive sales. Good hardware is nothing without it. MS is in its weakest position since the OG Xbox as far as games go, maybe weakest of all time imho.
What's this Mixer shit that Microsoft keep plugging?
I don't think they demonstrated the monstrous power.
Here's the updated list:
Console Launch Exclusives
Player Unknowns Battlegrounds
Deep Rock
Darwin
Black Desert
Last Night
The Artful something
Tacoma
Ashen
Console Exclusives
Sea of Thieves
Super Lucky's Tale
Cuphead
Ori
Crackdown 3
Forza
State of Decay 2
That's 15. They said 22, so I'm still missing 7. I guess they were buried in that indie montage.
For all the shit MS gets for too much Halo and Gears... if there's one thing this conference needed, it's new Halo and Gears.
It would be the equivalent of Nintendo revealing Switch without a Zelda or Mario game to speak of.
You can advertise benefits for 1080p sets though.They (and any other 4k system) have a similar problem VR has. You can't advertise 4k and HDR on a 1080p screen no matter how hard you try.
I don't think they demonstrated the monstrous power.
Just started watching the conference. Aaaaaaand here's a fucking car... again!
I swear, it's the same damn briefing ever year.
If you explain it, it's not a good demonstration.Nearly every single game shown seemed to be in native 4K.

Thats a fools errand. Sony has cornered the market on games like Rocket League already and the majority of multiplayer gamers will go to the platform with the biggest userbaseNot that stuff like God of War or TLOU2 isn't important, but the audience is more fickle today. They make the biggest splash at an E3 conference, but it just seems like there's something different going on these days. Minecraft, Rocket League, PUBG... I think if MS can continue to kind of align with multiplayer games that people are currently into, that's more in line with the audience than a blockbuster like Halo or Uncharted. They're kind of filling gaps around that as best they can, and they're not completely striking out there.
Anthem look very next gen tho.

Aside from TLOU2, that is one big multiplatform game, 2 known entities, 2 pipe dreams. Why is that magocally, objectively better, if the problem for MS was known entities? Lack of long term announcements? But SoT has been at 3 e3s, that is a problem. So why not a problem for FF7? Etc.
I miss J Allard
Lol, 2013? They started this shit way earlier. As a former 360 owner I would've bought the whole always online thing and other 2013 bs if MS at one point showed incentive to invest in 1st party content. 4 years and nothing has changed, it's only worse now.
Lol

But you got X box BC, Crimson skyes....
Timed release window games are hardly exclusives, and to me are not exclusive at all.I think you're being way too harsh. They showed a LOT of games even if they weren't new 1st party games. I don't think you can look poorly on 22 Xbox/PC exclusives regardless of the source.
