Oh it made perfect sense. Some people believe that all gaming consoles will eventually go the way that Microsoft's treading.

Well, it's interesting, because some of the first HTPCs were created by people who jailbroke their original Xbox's and got Linux or media player suites running on it - which makes sense because it was essentially a scaled down PC. And Microsoft's original reason for getting into the console business was to prevent Sony from creating a set top box that could dethrone Windows.

Basically as this sort of thing becomes more and more common, a Microsoft-designed and sold box running Windows and quite capable of being used for all media and controlled by motion-detection and voice and other bells and whistles that get the average sort of consumer to pay attention starts looking like a better and better idea from the company's perspective.

While still putting out games that keep the core market coming back, i.e. this event.

To which I say "all things in moderation."

Microsoft could have has their "X1 makes TV and gaming possible" news headline with fifteen minutes in the spot light. Instead, they spent 40 minutes of their hour-long demo on it, giving next to nothing to the gamers. 

Where's that pic that says "you can't chase a new audience without leaving your old audience behind" when you need it? I don't think the saying is true, but you have to be equal and fair when communicating to not alienate old fans while bringing in new ones. Spending next to no time on games or using your console as a gaming machine (even if it is implied that E3 will focus on this more) is a bad way to do that. 

And G4 wasn't just Cops, that's not fair. 

They had Ninja Warrior too!

The thing is, even one of their main games they mentioned, was tied to "TV"...  Halo Series.  

I'm still being open to what will be shown at E3, but I don't expect much more than a COD demo, some ****ty Kinect exclusive here and there.

I have a hard time arguing with this, but eh. I feel fairly confident in predicting that after E3 we'll be back to our standard split of PS/Xbox fanboys and the "hurr, PC master race" people.

Its JUST a Halo TV series. No one has to watch it, its not mandatory for playing Halo, there's no reason to complain. Its pretty much either watch it or don't. *shrugs*

As far as Kinect exclusives, I assume people mean games that require motion and cannot be played with a controller.

Because I imagine far more games will have Kinect functionality now, which I see as a good thing as Sony would make a good move integrating Move with more games and functions.

It's not like it'll never release on DVD.

Its not even 3 weeks, if people aren't open minded and give up that quickly they are WAY too fickle to ever be happy with the gaming industry.

Lolol! No, indeed....we will be plenty happy on our pcs, our PS4s and Wii U's. Or current gen consoles. Why would you think something like that? Because one brand committed suicide?

[LPPrince]

They'll probably cover it again at the event.

[OdanUrr]

I'm looking forward to the 14th.

The 14th? I thought E3 was going down starting June 10th.

Agreed. Which is more a problem with how people think, really. People should understand that neither Sony or Microsoft have been very clear on some subjects, and there's plenty of time to change things around if there really is a colossal backlash, so they need to sit back and wait.

Actually, we think quite fine. I was gonna get nasty, but I will hold back. Microsoft apologist.

Checked the site, dunno about anyone's days in the sunlight but apparently the event runs from the 11th to the 13th, so thats Tuesday through Thursday. Assuming Microsoft is first, Sony's day will probably be Wednesday, but I have no idea.

That console reveal is likely gonna be the show stealer.

I'm excited to see more of Destiny. Hope a wide range of gameplay is shown. I guess when Activision takes stage. I want to know how quests and loot/customizing works, and see combat and differences of each class. Should be neat.

That got an audible sound out of me. And I pulled a muscle around the right side of my jaw.

Good job.

LOL I live to serve. 

If Valve really wanted to, they could host a PC release event. They and Blizzard are practically the voices of the PC market anyway.
