I just hope that they announce the discontinuation of the Windows store and release their games on steam right away.

Maybe I am being naive, but I’m going to give Spencer the benefit of the doubt. They have made changes to their organization and leadership that I hope brings a sharper focus on creating great first party games. But I am wary of all these promises. Time to deliver. We will see.

Probably come up with a new way to twist the term exclusive.

Or the XB1 version of Labo will be announced.

Hopefully this time, we’ll finally get something positive.

Xbox E3 2017 wasn’t bad but wasn’t good either, like all previous E3 from Microsoft since this gen has just been mediocre

I hope there is a positive change for the players. But now being 5 years in this gen, it's pretty late to try to turn the ship around. Should of been making changes along time ago.
We'll have to wait and see what they bring?

Oh god

I hope they pull a really good show, showing that they understand where they have gone wrong. They really need;

-New first party devs
-Interesting new IP's
-Revive a few old IPs with a new fresh breath of air
-Get some first party studios set up in japan.

I’m hoping for some Halo 6 news.

fable 4 built from ground up yes sir
perfect dark game
sunset overdrive 2
find a better developer for ryse 2
make scalebound for xbox one X(just tell the fans look this game isn't possible on OG xbox one, i know it will make a lot of people mad but i want that game)

last E3 for both sony/ms was average i truly believe both will bring some nice blockbuster announcements/reveals with them

fun time for us gamers

Wait till e3, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018.
The beat game of all the waiting game.
MS love playing gotcha

More damage control

so i guess that means they are going to try and deliver multiple first party efforts instead of just one or two a year?

Another ' wait until e3' nonsense?

The "positive change" they need to make is securing more exclusives. As long as they fail to get that they're just going to keep stumbling and not knowing why.

.....by admitting that we were wrong"

Can't wait to see what they have planned this time.

Let's wait and see, will have to be good because Sony as awesome as ever will no doubt be in full swing. And for Nintendo they are like a juggernaut at the moment:)

Had to hear about true 4K and big promises for a year plus, now here we go with E3.

I've owned the Xbox One since it launched and each year Microsoft is a let down with their presentations at e3 the last few years.

I’m looking forward to it. I have already put in for the days off.

Already super hyped for this. For Xbox show especially.

What does this even mean? Another totally vague statement devoid of any substance.

They say this same type of crap all the time because xbox fans just eat it up and don't even question it. I remember last year when Phil said there would be record numbers of games then it turned out to be a show filled with timed exclusive indies.

I bet they will have Booty on the stage at E3.

It's too far away you need to start convincing now.

Hopefully more exclusive games and that they ditch game as a service.

Another wait for it, this is their slogan this gen. The problem is that it started at 2013.

Hopefully that includes getting rid of the poorly scripted stage banter during their press event.

Spencer:
"this year's event may not be what you expect. There will be some "changes."
"....I think will be some positive changes at E3"

I find it hard to get excited over those statements, really hope he's trying to downplay it.

It's pretty much like EA. If you choose to trust them when all eyes are watching, you'll be fooled again. As soon as they have a decent foothold, and your backs are turned, the men in suits will interfere again, finding ways to gouge, steal and cut costs while delivering little.

MS always put a guy the think will soften the crowd out front, but backstage, there will always be non-gamers in suits rubbing their hands when they see the fish are hooked.

Well, maybe this year they really do something. I've heard that story the past years too, but... once again it becomes "you'll see E3!" :P

Positive Change? MS will back to make only XB exclusive(not coming on PC)?

Haven't they said that for like 2-3 years now? And every E3 they promise us great 'surprises', followed by a year of almost nothing :O

As long as “positive changes” = more games

5th time's a charm, i guess.

I heard that last year too...

"Hey, fellas! I´m back! And i has some news ..."

Like Bungie, you know they're lying

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
