More like record setting road to utter disappointment, based on many years of microsoft e3's.

Would be more then happy if ms finally proves me wrong this time.

Don't care. The road to E3 has been nothing but disappointment. It is the road AFTER E3 that I am interested in. Do we finally get to see some games from Microsoft? Or will it be more bullshit "console launch exclusives"? So congrats on breaking records. Now how about you make some damn games?

Man I never buy anything from Microsoft because of hatred and I was right all along with Xbox One Always Online.
But man if Microsoft loses or steps out, we are fked! If you don't understand what I said, ask old school gamer what that means. Competition is good for customers and gamers of course!

As much I love PS4 never cared for Microsoft, we need them to stay in business otherwise SONY will start fking around when they see no competition!

"we want to take a moment to thank them for a RECORD-SETTING start to the year."

What record setting start???? "Only record sitting start im aware of is.........RROD now that was record sitting start of the year.

Are you kidding me? More fluff. What record did they break? Personal bests aren't records.

Riiiiiiight, they say this every year.

Glad Xbox is seeing growth. Happy the big 3 have positive growth. Makes me happy to be a gamer

Only thing missing here is 'MAKE GAMING GREAT AGAIN!'

You gotta love them spin doctors. They truly are the masters... Imagine if they actually had something great to sell, that PR would kill... But they don't, so we are left with PR gibberish fluffing up a turd for E3...

The way Microsoft is setup this year, they won't have a great E3 since we already know what all their studios are working on, because 4 or more of them are releasing or have released a game this year.

For real, next year's E3 will be a bigger one, since they'll show true next-gen games

We hear allot of talk about Microsoft E3, but for one company to "win" E3 they truly have to blow the competition out of the water and I don't see Sony sitting on their fingers. They're going to bring it and the best Microsoft can hope for is a tie.

You guys on this site are like a starving pack of wolves, any article that is remotely positive about microsoft has a swarm of people in the comments there to downplaying everything or somehow spin it into a negative. Go and play your amazing ps4 games that you guys like to list so much.

Microsoft seems more interested in BS than providing quality software

Hmmmm. Believe it when I see it.

Even moar Xbox Console exclusives. Damn MS is on FIRE!

I expect to see a lot of great announcements but MS has a tendency not to deliver on their promises

You know, Xbox's issue would be solved by just doing a simple thing: Make great games.

What is Xbox not doing? Making great games, or hardly any games at all. It's not rocket science, yet they struggle with the most basic concept to thrive in the gaming industry.

Sony never says anything about E3, we don't even know the conference date and time yet. Sony let the gamers decide on how there E3 went yet ;
MS spout out best ever this best ever that before E3 , its like MS wants to set themselves up for a fall. When will they just shut up about E3 and let gamers decide on how well thee E3 went after.

The new MS buzzword for 2018 is "engagement", lol.

They could have broke the record for most bumper stickers at their conference and brag about a record setting e3 without context as to why.

Super excited for E3, for all the conferences, but especially Microsoft. It sounds like they have some nice surprises coming.

Yeah like bullets fire, laps on forza etc blah blah blah usual ms rhetoric.

Microsoft just seems happy even though Switch and PS4 are doing much better than xbox. Are they focusing on PC ?

I have seen a few leaks about MS' E3 conference and of course you take these leaks with a huge pinch of salt but that being said if they hold any merit I think Xbox gamers can gear themselves up for disappointment.

Can someone please summeries whatrecord was broken? I really don't want to give these guys the click.

Ms will show some "exclusives" which actually means not exclusives we know how Ms likes to reinvent meanings of the words, probably games like metro exodus will gain some new meanings that has some king of advantage for xobox but of course we all know from E3 before it's all smoke and mirrors. best thing to happen is phill spencer get booed.

"Biggest E3 yet", "Greatest line-up in Xbox history... blah blah blah... Let's see they will show a Forza and maybe a new Halo... Any new solid first or second party exclusive IPs worth playing?

If they declare it's coming 2019 then it's dead in deep water.

Here's a fun game. Everytime Microsoft says "engagement" you drink, and see whose still standing and the end of the article.

LAST OF US 2 DESTROYS ALL.

That headline is not reality.

Yeah yeah put your money where your mouth is. Let’s see something worth owning an Xbox for.

Every year Phil starts bursting himself hyping E3 but never ends up being good. And every year people fall for it.

I have a question: if it's a good E3 what of all the previous years that no games have released on Xbox do you just forget about everything

"The biggest E3 yet"??? Just like "the best year ever" or "the most exclusives ever"? Yeah i dont wanna hear it. Surprise me because my expectations are very low.. I would like to see something good but ive seen/heard this crap for too long

Same BS same BS headlines from last year and the year before that,and before that. Us gaming veterans arent fooled by this stuff. Nothing is changing for Xbox. Cut the BS and be honest. Tell us the new games coming out on BOTH PC and XBox, as well as the early access' green light' games that will also come to PC and even some to other consoles.

Other than that I aint got no more talkin, yall finished or yall done?

Lol wtf are MS talking about, records they make up themselves to pat themselves on the back when they are failing horribly. I actually think (I did last e3 too) they may actually show some decent games this year but it’s just way too late now . They may show some good games and some may come out in the bearish future but nothing will make up for the last 5 years and Sony will keep releasing games on top of what they have done and so will Nintendo. Xbox has fallen hard and will have a tough time changing that in the next 5 years at least.

Regardless of if it is their biggest E3 this year or not, Sony could literally walk on stage show gameplay of last of us 2 and end the show and that would blow MS out the water! Bring the games, bring the AAA exclusives and then carry on, only then will people begin to believe!

huh?? Biggest lack of exclusive releases EVER. Longest game drought? Most cancellations? What was the record?

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
