Here is what they said in the actual video:
MN: This is a big year for xbox gaming, every year seems to get bigger and bigger for Xbox gaming; what do you think?
PS: This..... I think this might be one of our most special years ever.
MN: Most special year ever.
PS: Yeah I think back to some of the most important years in xbox history, you and I were there for zero hour.
MN: Yes, out in the desert.
PS: in the desert.
MN: Here in California.
PS: I think about that and you know and I think there are certain moments in Xbox history that us as fans, if I can put myself into fans of Xbox, think of as important years for us and I think this will be one of those years.
I think what he actually said is even more hype then the paraphrase.
I don't think he is talking just about a game guys, he sounds like he is finally getting to put his vision for Xbox into action.
Ryan from IGN seems pretty sure MS is going to bring back Summer of Arcade.
Must be some game changing annoucement, something that change video game forever.
Don't get me wrong... Hyped as fuck...
But I also can't help but think Phil was drunk off his ass.
Like he clearly had a lot last night.
HAH. Yeah, no. This is just hyperbole on Phil Spencer's part.

Man summer of arcade was a fantastic promotion.
Loved it.
Phil already said he wants it to be though, and it definitely will be once their store takes off and has some actual games they can give away for free, which with the store merger this year, that could actually be this year.

'Monday will be one of the most special events in Xbox history, comparable to Zero Hour 360 launch in terms of importance'
BRING BACK 1 VS 100
The only thing that would justify this hype is Scorpio in November 2016, compatible with Rift. $1000 to get them in a bundle. If they say this is the year they have to do it this year, an announcement for next year doesn't cut it. But realistically it's something like all Windows-Games playable on Xbox or every PC can become an Xbox.
It's been almost 10 years since the reveal trailer of B-K for 360... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePgIGmYv-sYShameless. No Banjo no hype. Try again next year, Phil.
Yes, because the head of Xbox that actually set this all up is just being hyperbolic.
C'mon man.
I think they could, eventually. If there's any IP MS owns that they can use to help leverage their own platforms. It's Minecraft.
I would make a Minecraft 2 full fat version with all the bells and whistles. Make it exclusive to Xbox and Windows store. This alone could have potential to sell 25 million plus.
Then a Minecraft 2 : Lite. A cut down version for mobile / tablet etc. An introduction to the new much more expanded game and extra income source.
Lmao.$1000
MS: How do you want your money
Me: JUST FUCK MY WALLET UP

Like, we already know much of what they are getting set to announce. There's even word floating around out there about what hasn't leaked yet.
Personally, it all sounds really hype, but that quote makes it sound like it is some earth-shattering announcement he is making, when in reality he's announcing a few pieces of hardware and some new games. For sure, this stuff will have varying degrees of impact for people, but I don't think this is gonna be E3 2010 or E3 '06.
Not my Xbox, but I sold my PS4 this week just because Sony would annonce the PS4 NEO. Then Sony said they would NOT show Neo at E3, the day after I sold it lol=(Has anybody sold their Xbox One in anticipation of Scorpio/new hardware? I'm wondering whether to sell mine for $200 (have offer through Craigslist) or wait until tomorrow for announcements (and possibility of the One resale value dropping)

Bad decision imo.What happens if Phil comes out and says "minecraft2 exclusively on Xbox and Windows 10"? Hypothetically of course.
Wasn't there a similar rumour last year?
I haven't seen that comment (link?), but if it does happen, then they'd obviously have to do something about it. I reckon they'll start charging PC users again, as I can't see them giving up that Live money.
I think it'd be a bad decision if they skipped out on mobile. If it's W10, IOS, android, 360 & Xbox 1, that's not that bad IMO.Bad decision imo.
I think they could capitalize much more in making official mods for their franchises (for all platforms).
I hate to say it guys.... but I'm really sick right now and I think I'm going to have to stop the hype train where it is unless anyone else wants to take over. I need to rest.
It wouldn't be a Fable game.
My dream "Megaton" announcements for Microsoft:
- Xbox slim is revealed. It's a 1 TB system that launches in August for $299. All current systems are discounted by an additional $50, brining the 500GB OG console to $249
- Xbox Scorpio is announced, launches in Spring 2017, more details to follow but key info is:
- All Xbox One games/accessories are compatible
- All games will launch on both Xbox One and Scorpio (with the unspoken caveat that OG support will die after about 2 years)
- Oculus works with Scorpio, official bundles coming
- Xbox Live multiplayer is now free for everyone. Xbox Live subscription changes to "Games with Gold" subscription that gives you 6 free games each month.
- All current Xbox Live Gold members get to pick one free game from Microsoft's fall lineup ($59.99 or less)
- Playtonic is on stage to announce a partnership with Microsoft for Yooka-Laylee, Xbox One gets exclusive Banjo cameo/levels
(Please be true)
What if......MS made all multiplayer free, across all of their platforms. The paid Xbox Live service would be for Games with Gold, and something like 10% off all new games and DLC bought from the Xbox/WIndows store. I'd be ok with that.
That still makes no sense. There is no benefit to losing all of that money. No benefit and you get fired for something like that.What if......MS made all multiplayer free, across all of their platforms.

Nah, XBL subs, like PS+ subs, are key to the modern console business model. They'll only ever add more reasons to sub rather than cut it down.
Well i think you overestimate how much console players are paying attention to PC gamers. I mean it's the internet so of course people's voices seem louder but I doubt the destiny player or COd only player cares what Windows 10 is doingYeah, I hear you. It chaps peoples asses that windows users and Xbox users can play the same game, bought from the same store, but the PC version is cheaper, and they can play for free. How can that NOT bother people? I don't have the solution, I was just throwing crap out there.
I don't know about that. I've been finishing up some Witcher 2 achievements so I can finally start Witcher 3, and I couldn't help but think that this is what Fable would be in the hands of a more competent dev studio. Then again, I don't play a lot of WRPGs, so maybe they would all feel like "more competently made Fable games".

It's happening. #freemultiplayer
One that syncs directly to the console like the Halo 4 Tritton Warhead did.
I HATE being tethered to the controller when I have a headset on

Announcing next gen Xbox is pretty big. Free multiplayer, Xbox emulation for PC, all seems to be the mic drop moment.
