Cool. Three more weeks before we can finally see what they consider "a great briefing filled with new games".
User Banned (5 Days): Console warring. Trolling. History of similar behaviour.
lmao!
ahem, it's going to be a horrible E3 for fans of worthwhile exclusives, as per usual.
Alright MS, lets have a record breaking number of AAA exclusive announcements to your platform at E3 2018.
I'm super skeptical. Prove me wrong.

I hope that I think it's a great briefing filled with new games!
I'm curious what they might choose to show. So I know that Microsoft Game Studios within the last year got a lot more power within the company of Microsoft, they've been allowed more freedom to make bigger choices and manage themselves after years of business peeps at Microsoft (regular) not super involved in the gaming scene making the big decisions. And in the last year they've been doing some huge renovations, expanding, and planning for their future and putting things into action. But I'd think a lot of what they're doing wouldn't really be showable until at least another year or two down the line, and frankly I don't know the specifics of what projects they're working on, so I am deeply interested in what they're deciding to share come this E3.
I'm not always happy with what MS's shenanigans but their backwards compatibility has been awesome, especially now that game of the generation Saints Row 2 has been added.
I hope to be pleasantly surprised by their E3 this year but I'm trying not to get my expectations up too much. Mostly I want to see this new rumored Fable game.

I, for one, cannot wait to this year's E3, we have mature platforms on the market (I mean all of them) so I feel like this is the right time of delivering some unique games to all platforms. I can just feel it, first time being in this community while E3 is going to be glorious : )
My fear is that they'll be so motivated to have a particularly broad showing that some projects will get a reveal trailer earlier than might normally be considered, in a way that might lead to volatility in development. 2017 was thin enough that I'd bet internal voices are going to be out to prove those efforts in ways they traditionally wouldn't. Normally, I consider the obvious catch-22 of "big recurring games don't count, and smaller/unproven games also don't count" in message-board discourse as something that can be laughed off (assuming the overall business is working out), but last year had enough delays and cancellations to raise eyebrows all around.
I guess we'll see if their definition of fantastic lineup matches my expectations.
I hope it does. If they don't show a sizeable amount of games it'll mean they've been sitting around doing relatively little for the first 4 years of the Age of Spencer (TM).

This definitely wouldn't do it for me.
I feel like we go through this Xbox E3 hype cycle every year since 2013 and aside from 2014 (which is a whole other issue), they have constantly disappointed.
Reminds me of the good old days of HDDVD vs Blu-Ray with "Attach Rate".
"Nearly 1 billion hours played on backwards compatible games."
You're welcome, I think i contributed alot to this :D

interesting to see them choose not to show any specific numbers for how games pass is doing
Forza Horizon 4 is what we'd see. Forza Motorsport 8 would be next year. They alternate.
I'm a lot more into Horizon than I am into Motorsport.
They should've saved that "greatest games lineup in Xbox history" tagline for a few years.
If Forza Horizon is there I'm good though

They're not gonna announce numbers until they have 10 million subscribers and they'll use that number to attempt to get third parties on board. That's my prediction.
I worked at an ad agency a few years ago and engagement was by far the biggest metric that we spoke to our clients about, lol.
