I already know the disagrees will be heavy on this comment but here it goes:
MS will rely on the "Cloud" technology to help power the next Xbox. It won't be required but to get things like 4k / 60 FPS, better physics, AI, etc, and to keep the cost down on hardware, I can see this happening. I think MS shelved the cloud computing technology (which they were ready to show) for this gen and are waiting for next gen to really push it. I think Next gen will be a wh...
I know, it sucks when you have an option to buy something. I mean, I hate it when you're not forced to open your wallet
When games start looking like this, then I'll be impressed. Instead of a pre-baked video, why don't they show us a real time demo with someone walking and looking around in this forest? It's because these videos need to be rendered, just like pixar animation movies.
I'm 43 and my kids are 11 and 8. And let me tell you, they are in a whole different world and mindset than I was at that age. I was plugging cartridges into my NES when I was their age. No such thing as "digital". My kids would rather play games on their tablets than play games on my console. In 10-15 years, my kids will be the one's determining which media is best to play on, not some 60 year old. I'd put my money on an all digital future whether I like it or not.
Both games will sell a lot of units well past their launch date.
Best comment in this thread . It's already been blamed on the Xbox fanboys.
"Silly gameAr -
How convenient. PSN went most of this gen without many problems. In fact, Live has had more problems than PSN this gen. It's pretty sad that there are people that have to DDOS a network because they're mad that their favorite toy isn't winning."
Didn't Phil say the Xbox One S would sell more than the X? It definitely wasn't overhyped.
@CitizenFour
I agree with you. My thought came from thinking about how MS isn't blowing their load too early with the announcement(s) of new games. I could see the old MS from a few years ago hyping up the X with the promise of (insert multilpe new games here). Last E3 (2017), they could have easily shown off this new Fable game just to hype the launch of the X. But instead, they held their cards close and didn't show pretty much anything. Hence, my logic of being patient. I&...
I think MS is doing a good job by being patient. They really didn't over hype the X and they just let the hardcore pay the high price. But the X is still out there for people to see and dream about someday when the price drops (this November it'll be $399 or $299, maybe no disc drive).
So this E3 is a perfect time to show off a few new IP's along with a couple other surprises. Announce the X price drop and Boom, MS is back in the game (not catching PS4 in sales, but XBOX ...
@MakoD - It still amazes me how many Sony fanboys wind up in Xbox articles.
"At this point, Microsoft really doesn't want people to buy Xbox branded PCs (Xbox Ones), they would rather you just boot up your Windows 10 PC and download from the Microsoft Store and play on that"
Didn't MS just release the X?
Why is there disagrees? You stated a fact.

Business 101 - Losing to your competition BUT still turning a profit does not mean you are losing. Otherwise, every market (ex. automobiles, fast food, cell phones) would only have one company in business.
50 million Xbox Live subscribers
-Let's cut that in half for paid subscribers
$60 per year
-Let's cut that in half to $30 per year
That's $750,000,000 per year revenue on Live alone.
It's not always games or consoles sold.
Xbox isn't going anywhere
But the Xbox is in trouble, right?
And Sony only sells Playstations?
Stop making sense. Remember, it's N4G
