Jeff Grubb: Microsoft no longer holding their "unannounced xboxing day" in June, moving it to August instead "for now"
- Thread starter Kolx
- Start date
Will they have an Xbox Series X event before that? Because that seems like an awful lot of time to let Sony have the bulk of the limelight. Hell, you could argue the Unreal Engine 5 demo coupled with the two non PS5 related State of Plays (The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima) already inadvertently did that.
Great news. I think it must be related to price if he goes so far to say "Microsoft does not want to go first for this part". Really interested in seeing what else they had planned for this June event - couldn't have been only pricing.
Haha! It really does feel like that. The Agincourt of console wars =D
Oh, that's good. Because I was pretty disappointed, guess doing a little research goes a long way. I probably should remember that.
No, i get that, i meant rather, that the gap between Sony and Microsoft showing games and everything is a bit big. Sony is gonna be this week, and Microsoft somewhere in July, so that means, Sony has 3-4 weeks for themselves, everyone will be talking about it. I wish Microsoft event was like a week after Sonys event or something.

It's presumably the new star wars title that was already leaked (he starred in a movie called Maverick which also the name of the studio behind the game). The announcement was supposed to be early June, but was delayed.
They have their XGS and select 3rd party partners showcase planned for sometime in July.
Sony already split their event in two, one this week and one in August. MS will just go after Sony's event in August.
LOL so true!
Although I see mostly praise and acceptance for it in this thread. Only a select few dislike the news for whatever reason, from disappointed to have to wait more for Xbox news to fake "concern" posts.
I think as fans being flexible to any potential schedule changes is the most reasonable way to approach this.
It'll be 1/4th of the console and will be 3 teraflops. You have to buy 4 of the cubes and combine them into Xbox Exodia to get the full 12 teraflop console.
I'm starting to expect $449.99 and $399.99, depending who blinks first.
Even if there is a Lockhart I can't see it being $300. Even if their SSD isn't as fast as Sony's it's still has to be expensive to produce.
Huh?
How is it not a fair criticism that a major gaming company doesn't have something to talk about in the former month of E3?
Ah, figured it'd have probably been delayed, just not been paying much attention to gaming news much and remembered it. Thanks!
As someone who likes to plan things well in advance this whole marking cycle for both systems has been a nightmare. All of this 4 dimension chess is just annoying at this point. That's why I miss E3, everyone just needs to shoot there shot and get it over with. Let the chips fall where they may.
We really live in the worst timeline.
No, they are used to it now.
They have 15 first party studios, and tons of announcements if industry insiders are to be believed. Are you trolling?

Sony is doing their on thing like they always did.
Aint nobody waiting fir MS

I will be pretty mad if we have to wait that long to hear the price. We better get it at the July event. Same goes for Sony with their August stuff.
One of them announces the console to be free. The other announces that they will give everyone $50 and a free console.
Something called Covid-19 happened lol. Delaying their big showcase from June to July seems pretty reasonable to me. First you were complaining that they were going to drop info before they showed games, now you're complaining that they moved it ... Your reaction to everything MS does is hyperbolic.
Delayed. You can see it planned at June 15/16/17
It is Star Wars Maverick.
My guess is, since they already have a July event planned and don't want to try to plan this event in what's left of June due to everything going on. So they push it past the July event instead of trying to Frankenstein those events together.
Edit for clarity.
