Earlier in the month, Venturebeat's Jeff Grubb reported Microsoft was now saving a big June announcement for August (which is when Eurogamer also understands Xbox Series S will finally be revealed). This prompted a carefully-worded response from Greenberg stating the company had "not pushed anything back", and that its next big digital show was still July.
The argument here seems to be whether Series S was still a June announcement for Microsoft after Xbox 20/20 was detailed. The lack of any other big reveal would appear to suggest so, though I've heard from others in Microsoft who say not - that June was always supposed to be a quieter month for announcements, and the idea of a "moment" for June was always a little out of step with reality. I also understand Microsoft's June plans were made quieter still as the company shuffled its cards yet again to accommodate the real-world events dominating headlines.
Of course, Microsoft cannot control global events and can adapt its marketing schedule however it pleases. But the lack of any update this month on its June Xbox 20/20 "moment" has left a hole in its regular-sounding announcement schedule - and one it has not publicly addressed. Microsoft declined to comment further when contacted by Eurogamer.
After a lacklustre May and largely non-existent June, all eyes are on Microsoft's July Xbox 20/20 show to finally deliver - and August, for the reveal of that second box.
This is what happens when you abandon E3 and do this boring ass digital reveals.Road to next gen consoles is getting really boring

Huh? What are they afraid of?They are afraid of talking about Series S. Hilarious.
because they want a cheaper entry level next gen system running on the same newer architecture. The xbox one x may be powerful as a system, but it’s still running with current gen architecture and it’ll see the end of it’s support sooner or later.why does series s need to exist when xb1x already does. still dont understand.
I think they’re saving it for the price reveal. “Oh, is $___ too much? In that case we also have the new series S!”Why don't they really want to talk about Lockhart?
Eh I would equate it more to a parent putting a test on a fridge that got a B- or C+ next to another sibling's test that got an A.It's amazing that Microsoft thinks that the announcement of a Series S is something anyone would be excited about.
It's more like announcing that a family member has terminal cancer.

xbox one x doesnt have the cpu or ssd required to run next gen games that will be built around the ssd and cpu.why does series s need to exist when xb1x already does. still dont understand.

Starting with the May 7 episode of Inside Xbox, we will be showcasing what happens next in the world of Xbox, every month, which is why we’re calling it “Xbox 20/20.” These monthly moments will take place throughout the rest of the year and will be a way for us to engage, connect and celebrate with you about what’s in store for the next generation of gaming, including what’s next for Xbox Series X, Xbox Game Studios, Xbox Game Pass and Project xCloud. Every month will bring something different. Stay tuned to Xbox Wire for more details.
I honestly don't get the interest in the Series S, based on the reports it will be a weaker version of the series X so what is point in M$ even announcing it right now.

Worst E3 in my lifetime.
Also no ubisoft and bethesda shows?
Or they are set for the xbox july event?
Or will sony have a second show as promised with more third party support?
The interest is simple. $199I honestly don't get the interest in the Series S, based on the reports it will be a weaker version of the series X so what is point in M$ even announcing it right now.
Cancel culture at its finest.This is why when people said E3 needed to be cancelled forever, they didn't know what they were talking about.
Ubisoft has one on July 12.Worst E3 in my lifetime.

You've kind of jokingly confirmed your own suspicion. Dev confirmed that the MS GDK includes scalability from the XSX down. Very little work on the Dev side as MS gives the tools to begin work on the XSX then scale down to lower specs. Should be even easier now that the XSS is rumored to have the EXACT same CPU as the XSX. A bit less ram and CU's leaving me to suspect that it's an all digital "gamepass box" if you willThey are really going to do a XSS?
I can't see how the XSS is going to run X1X BC if it has less memory, unless they create a new XSS profile in the SDK and force every developer that made a X1X game to release a patch for it (no, it won't be magically automatic).

IMO they started so good and now after the shitty May thing we stuck with silence again... where is the fucking date for the July Event... others like Ubisoft were able to announce a date for their event a month ago
