It's nice to have some semblance of what's going on during these difficult times. E3 and other shows have been cancelled and they are trying to make the most of the situation. Nice to see some transparency and planning ahead to inform everyone. They can announce E3 and other events in advance with no concerns but this is empty and pandering?
And you keep bringing fanboy wars bullshit to this conversation for no reason. Do I need to bring out my fucking Xbox cred badge to get you and the rest of the attack squad off my back. Give it a rest dude. I just brought up a legitimate point that stuck out to me, and some people like yourself got overly defensive about it for no good reason. One person not parroting the same sentiment in the thread isn't some crime and doesn't ruin anyone's excitement for anything. If my post was a downer to you, don't give it any attention, why are you even engaging with me in this conversation.
Yup.
People keep saying this, but I don't recall that happening in 2013.
Why? Because I like a full blown up conference with all there instead of this?
Neither company has made any indication of this. That report about Sony shipping less consoles this fall was based around the idea they expected less demand due to a higher price.
It did. You could find Xbox on shelves come January, but they both pretty much sold every unit calendar 2013 in NA.
Gotcha. Thanks.
More importantly why does it even matter especially as Xbox has expanded beyond console. :People are going to have to get past purely console sales as the only metric to measure overall gaming success.
I think it just reflects a much more focused Microsoft going into this console than where they were when revealing the ONE. They aren't giving any time to TV shows or bigger entertainment aspirations, they aren't trying to hit a huge mass market by including a motion camera with every console - they clearly just want the Series X to be the box where you buy & play games. They know what the core audience wants to hear, and they're giving people a very easy-to-digest series of announcements to keep their interest peaked.

I thought he just meant he couldn't get any info on Oberon production, Sony ninjas locking that down.
Yeah, me too. Hopefully people can get beyond this console war nonsense and accept Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo as gaming fixtures for the forseeable future in multiple markets.
