Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Probably too much to wish for but another Hi-Fi style shadow drop will be sublime.

For it to get heavily trashed by PlayStation fanboys.

There are several games already announced that don’t have a specific release date. That will be a great start.

Trailers with no real gameplay or release dates for most of the big-ish games (as usual).
And a plethora of A and AA GP-filler material ofc.

yeah!
I'm more excited about Xbox catalog than Playstation, cause we already know all titles!
O.D by Kojima will be that same P.T project, but with another name!

It'll be dominated by Hellblade 2, surely. Would love to see the next Gears though, or Fable of course.

Hellblade 2 and Avowed are slated for 2024 iirc, so probably a big focus on those. Wouldn’t surprise me if either Contraband or Clockwork Revolution is 2024 as well and get a release date trailer.
I definitely think they’ll have a segment promoting all the ActiBlizz stuff coming to GamePass.
Also feels like it’s about time we got a new trailer/teaser for Perfect Dark.

Just a week or two go there was another insider who was swearing up and down that the trilogy remaster is real.
If it's real, it's about time to announce it lol

Its a new game, yes i was surprised given how many user created microtransactions 2020 has and i wonder how they will handle the marketplace, if at all.

Them not saying stuff will carry over, or that there will be an upgrade path is a bad sign.

A new game where you are the CEO of MS and have to spend 145 billion dollars, because the banks cannot hold more fiat money for your corpo. You can buy rival corporations, animals, people, even buy a country's air reserves.

What I HOPE to see is a lot more effort and a more fleshed out year. What I EXPECXT to see is Microsoft relying heavily on Hellblade 2, Stalker and Avowed to reinvigorate the Xbox brand while most of the games people really want get pushed to 2025 (which might be the best year for the Series systems).
2024 is a pretty crucial year for Xbox. Sales performance is already low and most of the exclusives that should have boosted sales in 2023 ended up being disappointments. Looking ahead to next year, the battle will be much tougher. Not only is Sony rumored to launch the PS5 Pro (along with their own DLSS) which should help overcome some of the performance disappointments we have been dealing with this generation but we also have the absolute wildcard that is Nintendo. It's all but confirmed that they will launch "something" next year and that something is supposed to have performance capabilities that will make it a lot more competitive with PS5 and Series S/X (although DLSS can't do miracles but I'm sure at first glance Switch 2 games will look close enough to the bigger systems).
If Microsoft can't pull a 180 in 2024, they might as well do what the rumors are saying and start off the next gen in 2026. Getting an early start worked out for them with the 360, maybe it can work again...
