I'm a fan of Xbox so far, I don't know what you're getting at
However, I want to hold companies accountable for their promises that's all.
people usually cite this lofty, noble goal when it's in relation to holding companies to their promises around diversity, sustainability, eco-friendliness etc.
Not because they missed out on a blog post or two.
hmm.
You got your news
:P

That crossed my mind hahaYou got your news

Having good vision is often referred to as 20/20 vision.
It's also a play on the year 2020.
So, they're saying they want to present lots of information and give a clear vision of what to expect for Series X in 2020.

Yep. Ever since the start of the Xbox One generation their messaging has gone to shit. I understand why many are excited by / rooting for them, but I just don't have the level of trust in them required to buy into a new generation at launch.
What are you talking about ...? They released a series of articles throughout the month so far, adding even more transparency, most importantly to Smart Delivery.

They never announced a monthly "event". Xbox 20/20 is about a steady, monthly flow of news.
Even towards the very end of May they released an additional and massive article detailing BC on Xbox Series X.

lol, that change in tune.
Not the 4th but around. What is more American than Xbox?
The change in tune being "please close thread" to "please close thread"? Yeah man! Thanks!
exactly this. June has been a roller coaster for so many reasons.
Except that in this case they never announced monthly events, so you basically made the confusion yourselves, got disappointed when they didn't do the thing they never promised and now are holding them accountable as not an entity that can be trusted.
Not quite, they have a series of developer interviews talking about developing for SX. Including the Dirt 5 dev that made a claim for the ssd which many here didn't believe it was possible on SX.
There was also other articles clarifying which Smart Delivery is and what it provides, which is also important when everyone was going that smart delivery = cross buy and acting confused as if the messaging was not clear enough.
And apparently this week there's going to be another interview with Jason speaking more on SX architecture.
Would I say that this are all the news I wanted for the month? Hell no. But they haven't really promised anything other than "there's news", and they are keeping the conversation open.

Again, I don't know how they could have emphasized on monthly even more than repeating it 3 times in 3 lines :
And they did "moments" this month. So I don't see the problem / confusion here.
They literally announced about 3 weeks ago that this was not the time to be concentrating on video game releases, and that this was going to delay the June event until later in the year.
You remember, I would imagine, the BLM stuff that is going on? Like, look outside.

Still pushing the same?
OP demands the "transparency", he will not give up until then. Better ring Phil a bell.
Sony's event was a wake up call for them. They realized that cannot just put anything out there. Honestly it is a massive fail on their part. They should know better by now.
There has been news about smart delivery and interviews all month. If you were a fan you would know that.
They've posted interviews with the developers of The Medium, and Ascent. And they've been releasing info about Smart Delivery (again). Not sure what else they were expected to release but a lot of Xbox fans - myself included - are just waiting on the July event and the REAL gameplay showcase. That's what we want to see. Anything else is secondary until after that July event.
No, I honestly believe MS had some major announcements to share this month . I think It was pushed because of how well received Sony's conference was. I believe they went back to the drawing board and is trying to make a stronger event for July.
Here's my meager contribution to this discussion.
It's fine that Dirt 5/blogpost/resharing of old content are part of their monthly moments.
But I don't believe MS ever stated them as part of Xbox 20/20.
For example, if they went and said "as part of June's Xbox 20/20, we are revisiting our earlier announcements and doing a developer interview", but I don't believe they said as much.

So a rumoured news drop that didn't happen was nonetheless a "massive fail" based on a series of theoretical internal events you believe happened?
A world in which a rumor has more weight than any official info...Welcome to Era !
20/20 is the marketing name for the campaign. Wich is now starting all the way until the launch of the console. Its a nice name for a campaign that always happens in the end. Its a mix of events, news, articles and interviews. Every thing about Series X is part of the "20/20" news cycle in the end.
I see, I assumed there's always *something* monthly that'll be branded as part of 20/20, be it IX, July Event, Press Preview, new blogpost drop or whatnot.
The promise in question is literally just a minor marketing event. You've been given many good potential explanations for why things might have changed, and are ignoring them all.
Do you also go on a crusade every time WalMart doesn't put out a newsletter about their winter product line-up?
Despite your weird dismissal of the fact that these are tough and unpredictable times, no one else cares this much about this stuff right now.
MS thought their May event would be good and it was a MASSIVE misstep. That plus Sony's amazing conference has MS at the drawing board. They have increased pressure to have a great show in July. I'm excited/curious on how things go for them in July using the lessons they learned over the last two months.
Sony's conference was not "amazing". It had a couple of good games that were exclusive and a shot load of bullshit paid for timed exclusive titles. Most of the games I actually felt hype for are coming to Xbox. Ratchet was the best looking game there, not that that's an issue, Ratchet is awesome.
Was it better than the Xbox one? Yes. But the Xbox one was an inside Xbox event and was hyped up wrong, it wasn't supposed to be their equivalent.
If you take out all the fancy and totally pointless cgi playstation symbols, the PlayStation event lasts about half as long. Add disclaimers that90% of the games were multiplatform, and it looks even worse.
The PlayStation event was all slick, for sure, but it wasn't amazing.

Lol, where do you get this stuff? Do your have an internal source at ms that told you they're "at the drawing board"?
I have no doubt ms looked at the Sony event, and the ea one, and others, but there is nothing to imply they're suddenly panicking.
Especially after the mediocre (content wise) ps5 event.
When you compare it to MS's initial showing of games in May, It was amazing. MS event left a bad taste is a lot of people's mouth. Can MS put on a better show than Sony in July? I hope so!
A lot of people on here don't care about what's happening to black people when compared to other issues. You just need to check some of the topics regarding BLM.
I don't. It is a logical assumption based off MS admitting they had a misstep in May. Going to the drawing board is not meaning you are panicking. It means they are reevaluating to make sure they get things right in July.
But thats the issue... That wasn't MS showing their cards like Sony did. Ot was an inside Xbox taster, it wasn't a full on show.
Now July they get to bring the fire... only for Sony to counter with more big games they didn't announce and BC.
It never ends!
Wasn't some of those games they showed at that MS conference exclusive? They showed some cards. I can't wait to see "the big guns" at the show in July. I am hoping for Fable. I'm certain Sony has more cards to show as well.
Those shows are not done in a month two. It is all just speculation at this point.
I agree. I think the reason it's regarded so highly is that many games were unannounced previously and that they revealed the console along with it. Don't think Microsoft lost their sleep over what was shown there (apart from the timed exclusive deals perhaps).
ah no?
They showed 9 games from their own studios, how is that 90% of games multiplatform?
Well they justified putting the third party showcase in May because there was too much stuff to fit into their other showcase. They didn't set appropriate expectations though and that bit them.
