I must admit this is one thing Sony do better, announce games. They don't know about making them but they sure do love announcing them.
Oh noes top of the page!

This would be dope. Emulator and sell the ROMs cheap aka digital throwbacks. For those like me who don't pirate.
Have him reintroduce Phantom Dust. Would make me a very happy man.

I would show off 20 fantastic looking games and say we were dedicated to producing content exclusively for Xbox One and W10.
- Announce Red Dead Redemption GWG for June
- Announce partnership with Rockstar for RDR2
- Gears 4 Info
- Forza stuff
- Talk about how indie devs are great and that they have a renewed interest in them, have some devs up for some exclusives
- Banjo stuff
- Xbox X Win 10 stuff
- Halo Wars for Win 10

MS should be able to announce a slim version by now. They also need to invest in exclusives as they aren't the choice for multiplatform gaming this generation like last.
If they do announce a xbox one.5 it needs to be stronger than the neo so it will become the choice for multiplatform gaming. If that happens I'll buy one.

I would expect that genre to be filled by Sea of Thieves

I see, so go to the third place contestant?
A port of an old game is mic drop worthy now?
I'd like to see Hidetaka Miyazaki announce a Microsoft funded Sci-Fi esque Souls game. Can't think of a bigger announcement that would make the GAF servers implode.
But really I would like to see more Japanese funded games coming out of Microsoft. Diversify along with Cuphead, Halo Wars 2, Scalebound etc. I know Scalebound is funded by Microsoft but it has a Western design which I do personally like. I'd love to see more JRPGs on Xbox One.

Actually their first party is looking pretty strong I just think it will be overshadowed by new console hype.

Announce Lionhead is working on Fable IV--Oh right...

Damn that shit hurts
End with a cliff hanger announcement of an announcement? Good thinking! People love those!
It would've been a cooking game or some other low cost bullshit, anyway.Announce Lionhead is working on Fable IV--Oh right...
The NX Console is more-or-less a non-issue for Microsoft (mostly different audience). It's the PS4K that's the problem.

If they are going the upgraded console route, then really have some show stoppers to show off the new console's potential. And games, games, games. I know they are lagging behind Sony, but it's not like they are at Wi iU levels,
; personally i would just like them to push even more games.

Next day, gaming blogs/news sites articles be like: "don't be so exited about the new PS Neo, 10 reasons why the Xbox S is the better choice "
Also Kuchera twitting asking fellow game journos if MS sent them the Xbox S cause he hasn't received his yet.
I would do the following. (especially since they care about MAU's)
This might not be at E3, but I am super confident its the future.
XboxOS - free update
- Dedicated OS that requires a restart/reboot to access. OS will be identical to what's on the xbox one.(or future boxes)
- When in XboxOS you will be locked into the xbox ecosystem. Including apps/games/marketplace. No ability to sideload apps or games
- will act just like a standard xbox and allow cloud saves, cross buy/play, and live access.
- Accessories are cross compatible between Xbox One and XboxOS
- support a wide range of PC specs and allow games to take advantage of advanced hardware and GPS's
- Since a dedicated gaming OS based on Windows games will preform better vs running on SteamOS or Windows 10.
The long term game is to own the Ecosystem. I think this would go a long way in growing MS's.

A new SKU at an aggressive low price seems like a good move if they aren't releasing new hardware to compete with the NX and Neo. If you can't beat their specs, beat their price. It worked for the Wii
I would actually kill for baseball game on Xbox.
I just want Sunshine Overdrive on PC
And then every game continues to runs worse on Xbone compared to the orignal PS4 whelp.
If I was Phil Spencer this is what I'd do:
- Walk on stage and announce we're committed to the hardware and software people have already bought, mention how all future xbox consoles will be backwards and forwards compatible, explain a little bit in brief detail. Close this statement with a "While I do expect a next generation from Microsoft, we have nothing to announce in the foreseeable future. When we do release a next more powerful Xbox, it will be at the start of a new generation and a full generational leap and how we're not interested in half measures or giving users advantages because they bought their console at a different time"
- Bring up Backwards Compatibility feature from last year and have a sizzle reel in the background of games coming in the near future, with Red Dead Redemption and other highly requested titles available right now
- Go into detail a little more about their plans for Windows 10, if all future xbox games are going to PC, announce it here and get it over with. End the statement with "We have heard the feedback about wanting Win10 and Xbox gaming policies to be more consistent and as of today, xbox live gold will no longer be required for multiplayer on any xbox console."
- Begin showing all the upcoming releases for 2016/2017.
- Towards the end come back on stage and announce custom Elite controllers and the slim console starting at $299 with a price drop for the VCR to $250
..Of course this isn't going to happen, but I can dream. While I think the future console and PC stuff doesn't really hold it's place at E3, or at this point in time (if they aren't doing an upgraded console), I do think they have to at least explain shit.

Games, games and more games?
Price drop as well.
Let NX and PS4k battle it out and then take next E3 by storm with next iteration of X1.
This E3 belongs to NX and PS4k

Yep. Many games already run worse and the gap will only get bigger when the Neo launches. MS will probably do an upgrade as well.
They'll do what they always do:
1. Wear a shirt for a franchise to tease but not actually do anything with - this alone will have people talking for weeks like usual
2. Show the games coming out this year like Gears and Crackdown multiplayer (and also tease Crackdown for 2017
3. Show games 2+ years out
