Okay, one more chance for MS

This E3 will be the defining moment for me as a gamer. If MS does not show anything encouraging, I am through with gaming and it'll be an indicator towards MS leaving the industry for what it is. Or I may just end up selling my Xbox One X and subscribing to Xbox Game Pass on my PC.

They are doing great things with the X1X and BC.....but I do agree they need to show out at E3 or all their good faith efforts will be wasted.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

1) Why don't you just game on PC.

2) Why the hell would you want xbox game pass on PC?

how f*cking small is your world?

1) I ain't going to pay those horribly inflated prices to upgrade

2) I don't game much these days so the Xbox Game Pass seems perfect for me.

How fucking small is your world?

Don't wait for E3, sell your Xbox right now and don't look back, clearly not for you.

If you are not satisfied now, I fail to see how E3 will change your mind. Personally I think people sometimes expect too much from E3.

think on this, I consider gaming my main hobby and I have considered it as such for about 35 years (I am 50) and I havent seen, watched or give two bits a damn about E3 for more than 10 years now because its a joke.

I also havent own a console in that entire 35 years other than 6 months.

There is a gaming universe beyond the hyper marketing horse bull ^*() and its good.

So the big question... what makes you think anyone gives a flying **** whether you sell your Xbox or not? Who are you, Phil Spencer?

its do or die for microsoft this e3 they are gonna be last place in the console space soon and their console is one of the lowest selling of all the big names like genesis and snes and consoles of past its a fucking disaster

You paid a horribly ovepriced upgrade. no sympathy here.

LMAO are you serious? The One X is priced fairly

It's ok they will most likely show Halo, gears or another forza

@lifelessablaze: I'm not sure what you're waiting for. I think MS is just looking to coast the rest of the gen out until the next one. Get ready to pay 'em another $500 soon.

MS is offering a solid product right now that has excellent subscription options compared to the competition and the BC is fantastic.

They just need to step up the first party content. More and better.

@drummerdave9099: the product isn't selling like older generations the Xbox one is flopping and needs to compete harder and soon

Did you own the original Xbox One?

If so, then not really.

guys I really think the majority of the gaming industry has left consoles behind.

this system wars is so 2008.

by that I mean at least in my universe its all about games like Space Engineers and the like I dont see consoles (any of them) as remotely relevant to the future anymore

MS are screwed. They’ve had 4 years to fix things this gen and have constantly failed. One E3 isn’t gonna change anything for them. You should sell your Xbone now while you still can.

You are really under the mistaken impression that people care about your pessimistic, depressing opinions.

I doubt it. You're not leaving Xbox.

If it's taking you this long to recognize the strategy and tactics of the Xbox brand, then you're probably a hardcore Xbox fan. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone has preferences.

good call! and so true

Cool blog again

Then why not just buy pre-build PC? Both RAM & GPU aren't effected by the inflated prices at all and you can pay like $700-$900 with everything in it when it comes to Pre-Builds.

He already spent $1000 dollars on 2 xboxs in 4 years and monthly online fees... hes tapped out!

Many of us that people like Greenberg, Ybarra and others at Xbox actually do respond to on twitter have been adamant about the need for a glimpse at new games going forward. They have responded with "we believe you'll be pleased". But its all just in the future. Now is all I can experience so I'm back to more season 13 in Diablo 3 enhanced on my 1X.

Well said. Often I think people just want argument fodder from these companies at E3. I have been very pleased with my X1, PS4 and Switch. I don't use metacritic to decide if a game is good, I play them; I don't care how long a list of exclusives is because I don't like everything that is shown and never have; I like to play games socially and PS sucks whale smegma in that regard and Layden said they don't care about it.

So both have their clearly defined functions for me.

Funny i keep hearing about X1X great BC when it only has 11 enhanced games. Then you have thousands of PC games you can crank the resolution up and use reshade to improve graphical quality. Muppets.

As long as I see something on either Halo, Gears of War, and/or Forza Horizon then I’ll be happy and anything else will be a bonus.

Hahahahahah says the PC gamer paying three times as much for GPUs now! Hahahahhahahahaha

lol, what a crack pot post. MS has been delivering grand slams lately, they are far away from needing a last chance from anyone. MS sure the hell aint dying, but on the flip side they haven't had as much success as PS4. As a XB consumer I'm reaping the most rewards from the competition. MS seems to want to close the gap with PS4 so all stops have been pulled. I'm getting a tremendous value from my XBX.

Sony is fat and lazy with success so they're not rasing the bar, why would they when all they have to do is feed their cows cheap grass and in exchang they get the beast's undying loyalty all the way to the slaughter house to get that oh so delious potter houses, tri tips, etc. The Sony world is the sellers market, while MS world is the buyers market. Cows are nothing short of fools, not only for their absolute worship of the brand, but also because they have the herd instinct where they just all follow each other right off the cliff in their vain and futile attempts to attack MS.

I gave PS4 a shot this gen and sold it after a few months. Had I'd never known XB I would have been content, but having owned both consoles, the PS4 was left wanting in every category. Its so lack luster in everyway in comparison that i just had to basically give away. After witnessing the attacks on XB in this sess pool environments day in and day out reminds of the cows with horns, relentlessly attacking a red piece of cloth in the bull fights. Like the dumb beast they are they keep charging at it while they're stuck in the back till they bleed out and die. Yes you cows, that is your life, just bleed to death for our entertainment.

Checking to see when was the last time E3 mattered. Hmmmm

Inferior Atmos Support

Inferior HDR Support

I hope they have a good E3.

LMAO!!!

Lol, 2014 and 2015 e3 are a large part of the reason MS is so far behind. You'd be a fool not to recognize what hype can do for sales.

@cainetao11: Well we need a glimpse into the future, even if the games are 2 years out...show us something to build hype, show us something to prove they heard the fans regarding more 1st party games.

Yep, this.

100% agree and I tweet Spencer, Ybarra and Greenberg that often. Like Andy Dufraine in the Shawshank Redemption did, just keep writing them until you get what you want.

@cainetao11: Lol great movie!

Okay but what if they show you long term projects but then they end up canceling em like that dragon game(already forgot what it's called lol)

But then sell your Xbox. See thats the babybackballbagness of the gamers nowadays. "What if they show you long term projects and then cancel them?" So Spencer makes a public point that they will not announce or talk about games too far in advance anymore. Gamers then respond that Xbox has nothing in the works. Nothing they do will please people. Sony has been showing me the same 4 titles for the last 2 E3s. They add one new one and remakes of old games to their list and I'm supposed to wet myself?

They've been in business since 2001 and have cancelled a couple of games and some of you can't let it go. You can't change the past or see the future. If you're still all butthungup about Scalebound then don't be involved with Xbox. I don't understand the crying about something you have no control over. What if a nuclear war begins before E3? What if you're caught in the next gun massacre before E3? Games get cancelled, let it go.

I honestly expected them to show up in a big way at last year's E3 and drop bombs as a lead-in to Scorpio's launch. Whether they have an apology tour this year or not, it's perfectly clear that they are inept at this point. So, yeah. XBox, as a brand, needs to spend a year or two in Tibet and find itself. Maybe come back next generation with some Shaolin Zen Kung Fu skills.

When did you start?

lol, same thing I was thinking. Dude has some of the shittiest taste on SW.

that means nothing coming from a guy who plays weab games.

If you'd quit gaming entirely because your pet platform isn't doing so hot, you're not much of a gamer.

Oh crap, Tesla's stocks are down. Gonna quit driving entirely.

I play all games both Western and Japanese unlike you that's limited to only the shittiest Western games.

You have absolutely horrible taste in games. Anyone that would quit gaming because the Xbone is flopping deserves to be laughed at considering the Xbone is easily the shittiest console MS has ever made.

1. Says you're a gamer.
2. Owns Xbox.
3. Complains about Xbox and says you'll quit gaming if MS don't become better.

You don't sound much like a gamer. Why not just get something good instead of a barren Xbox? I don't think clinging to the worst shit until the bitter end is a better option than playing all the good shit that exist.

But whatever. If a person who only buys Xbox stuff quits gaming, that's a favor to gaming.

bc Sony games offer nothing for me. I've never been interested in any of their IPs
