Brad Sams: Microsoft to Talk Next Gen Consoles at E3 2019, Halo Infinite for launch
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
The last two years has felt like a continuing messaging towards next gen. I think MS did such a poor job (under previous management) with the XBO messaging, I think they NEED this extra time / extra messaging. Last E3 they brought up Scarlet to let everybody know they were not leaving the hardware business. I really half expect this E3 to see (I hope) a lot of niche, Japanese development to let potential PS only users that those games they love on PS/Switch is also coming to Xbox brand. That will be about 17 months till their usual November launch. That's quite a few months for fans to talk about it and see the two different boxes, and the streaming box.
I think they need that extra time to bake up excitement. I have no doubts they'll have a machine that will be equal powerwise to the PS5 (unlike early in the ps4/xbo days).
I just really think this is good for all gamers despite your loyalties. I have no as I own everything, so I'm excited to see what extra stuff PS will have to offer because competition is good for consumers.

To get ahead of Sony's announcement. The assumption is that Sony will announce the PS5 around the same time as E3, or early next year.
I don't think Microsoft wants to lose the performance title again.
man, with all the Nintendo/MS foreplay going on right now, you just gotta wonder what the fuck is sony cooking?
aren't they being unusually quiet?

Just bought an Xbox One X with that $399 deal. Hopefully Halo: Infinite is cross-gen.
Also, theory... next gen Xbox name: "Xbox Infinite" or "Xbox Infinity"?
Halo: Infinite and Forza 8 (turn the "8" 90 degrees and you have the infinity symbol). But since Forza is coming out this year (most likely) and the next consoles are next year, the name wouldn't work.
ok I'm done. thanks.

I like that conspiracy theory. Where do I subscribe for more? :D Been guessing the same thing, probably a stupidly wrong guess, but I hope it is true! :D
Is this unusually quiet? I thought Sony is usually pretty quiet about things until they announce it. They've never struck me as a very transparent company, and even Microsoft being this transparent is a pretty recent thing.
They are preparing for the future where they can exist healthily in. Xbox hardware sales are going down fast this year, so much that I believe the cheap Scarlet SKU is due to the fact that they dont see the Xbox One lasting to sell as a cheap entry point Xbox in the next couple of years.
Microsoft is trying to finally move past the Xbox hardware's lack of appeal by getting their services on multiple devices and platforms. They know that certain territories will never embrace their consoles and that the Xbox Scarlet just wont sell as much as the Xbox 360 did (85 million+). Especially not with having their games on many devices, they are done trying to exist in the gaming market with Xbox consoles being the main driver.
So I dont see them as being out for blood, they are just adapting in the best way they can. Sony and Nintendo probably want to sell 100 million each of their next platforms, Microsoft doesn't care now as they know a number like that is impossible for Xbox so they are spreading their games and services. Its a great move.
They got caught out by Sony on their reveal last time. One word, Revenge.
Sony will be looking to pull it off again but they don't know that MS is planning to counter the counter attack.
*Tin foil hat on*
yeah but this is still pretty weird tho right? no rumors, no announcements, and they cancelled their E3 showing
i remember the months prior to PS4 reveal were packed with speculations and rumors
Forza 8 isnt this year, they are probably saving it for Scarlet launch
I think it's just a matter of timing. If Sony is going to announce the PS5 this year, it's probably after E3 and towards the end of the year, if not announce and release next year. There might just not be much to leak so far, where Microsoft is seemingly pretty close to announcing a bunch of stuff. I assume as we move closer to PS5's announcement we'll start to hear more and more rumblings. Just a matter of timing imo.
so they have nothing to show for the next 9 months?
i can't imagine a scenario where the PS5 isn't revealed or teased this year
Nintendo: Switch Mini Launch - Fall 2019, Gamepass and Xbox Live confirmed for Switch, a more powerful Switch, Switch Pro announced in 2020.
Sony: PS5 announcement in 2020, launch fall 2020.
Fanboys never understand that. I have all three consoles and usually do each gen , so find the fanboying tedious.
Can't believe thee were some who wanted to see MS out of the gaming business for their own warped reasons.
MS has been bested this gen by Sony, partly through their own hubris, but it looks like they've learnt.
Now we have ourselves a potentiality amazing next gen.
I can. Early 2020 reveal and holiday release. Just like with PS4 in 2013. PS4 sill moves a lot of units and they even have a lot of room in terms of price cuts for 2019 (I mean base PS4 is still $299). Not to mention big exclusive games still coming to PS4 (Death Stranding, Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Dreams etc).
So they can talk shit about how Sony waited, and changed their plans at the last minute.
It's probably wise to talk it up as much as possible while Sony remains quiet. All eyes are on them.
Wasn't this already reported last night?
