But Microsoft's Xbox E3 Briefing wasn't just the most watched live event of this year's convention… it was also the highest concurrent viewer count of any stream ever on Twitch, pulling in an impressive 1.7 million viewers at its peak.

In addition the conference had great viewer numbers on Mixer. No concrete numbers here yet though.

Perfect time to maximize viewership across the globe, unlike some of the other big shows.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft had the largest viewership in the previous couple of years too.

Wow! Well done to Microsoft!

I can see across the board that all the major companies (Barring EA of course) got an increase in viewership compared to 2017. That's really damn impressive.

There's no going back from the resolution quality of Mixer, props to MS, either way really.

considering all the incentives they give for watching it on Mixer, this is very impressive. (I watched it on mixer and got a copy of Outer Wilds)

Does this account for how many dropped off when Sony pulled that dumbass intermission? They had to have lost at least 2 mil there.

I think the biggest take are the differences compared to 2017. With exception of EA.

Surprised, since everyone I know tuned in on Mixer.
Anyway, I am glad they came out swinging when that many eyes were on them. Don't mess up this goodwill now, Phil.

Maybe Sony should stop fucking us EU fans over becuase I'm sure they could easily match MS viewers.

It was at a really good time slot where most of the gaming world could watch it because it wasn't at a stupid time, and also on a Sunday where most people are also at home.

So I'm not really surprised.

I watched it on Mixer. This was my first time having a console that i knew would probably be able to stream it and it was super convenient for me to watch right on the console like that. I even had my friends on chat so we could talk about the stuff we were seeing as if we were there. It was a fun experience.

Yeah, I watched it on Mixer. Watched Sony's on Mixer, too. While I get why Twitch is still the king of streamers, for something like this, I chose Mixer because it is far an away a better viewing experience. Twitch may be where the streamers are, but for choosing a platform to watch the same content, Mixer is the easy choice.
