Brad Sams: Microsoft to Talk Next Gen Consoles at E3 2019, Halo Infinite for launch
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Xbox One sales haven't been the best lately.. Plus Sony silence this year might be making them nervous?
Or they just wanna be first and announce it there to still show E3 is relevant
24GB, 12TF or bust
Everything on Anaconda must be 2x an Xbox One X or this will be a disappointing "next gen" system

It's on my bucket list to attend E3 at some point but convincing my missus it would actually be a great holiday for us both is proving difficult right now, lol.
We still don't know their plans, they could be preparing for a PSX event before or after E3.
For now it seems Epyon is on point. So we will see how it goes. Word has it he is very well connected with Microsoft.
did you read the article ? it explicitely says not to expect shipments before Fall 2020.
#Team2020 won.
Phil Spencer says he likes to be transparent. They did a similar announcement for Xbox One X.
And Microsoft as a whole is a lot more open these days on what they are working on.
I think they will have something in April or May. So after GDC and before E3. I mean they can't keep quiet until fall.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't show any footage in 2019, if only to avoid the inevitable "downgrade" controversy when crunch time hits and they need to hit a stable framerate on unstable hardware.
It's continuing to set the tone for the future, S, X, BC etc. helped Microsoft turn it around, people need to feel confident in the brand, building a future, new investment, new games. Xbox needs that. They can't do a PS2 wait and see hype train so they do this then talk it up to turn the screw.
Multiple other sources have already said the pecs aren't completely accurate.
Because they never stop talking in Redmond. This entire Xbox generation has been dominated by chatter.
I expect a reveal closer to what Sony did with the PS4 than what Microsoft did with the X. So I expect specs, vision and some gameplay. However, I don't expect price or release date.
They can. Why announce next gen if you're not shipping it till 2020. They're dominating this gen so why annouce it now and lose that holiday revenue where xbox wants to get people interested in their console now.
I've only been as an industry person / organiser. Loads of fun, but we kind of cheat since we can get in earlier and stay longer so no lines to check out anything.
Probably not the same experience for regulars. We had up to 6-8 hours queues at Gamescom for BFV for example. But since we are 64p game, we get thousands of people through every event. Lines are probably even more insane for Nintendo games.
MS did also vaguely (let a bunch of devs) talk about X a year plus before actual X launch, so maybe something like that again
They're not dominating anymore, the Switch is the new king in town in 2019. They are starting to decline and we are on the eve on next gen. So it makes all the sense in the world to communicate about the PS5 in 2019.
Yes, the PS5 will come in 2020. But we don't know when. It could be Spring. And if it's Spring 2020 indeed, I expect communication in H1 2019.

They better not or else they're done for. I'm saying this as someone who really enjoys what Xbox has brought over the years from the OG to the 360 to select titles on the Xbox One. If they don't nail this launch with an attractive selection of launch titles and competitive hardware pricing, they may as well just pack up shop and be done with it. This industry isn't very forgiving imo and with it being a popular thing for journalists to take a fat dump on everyone and anyone nowadays for clicks, it'll be the death of the brand. Xbox gets a lot of hate as it is right now from the press.
Yeah
They are making a lot of aggressive (as well as smart) moves
Pretty excited for what's on store from the in the near future
Believe me when I say, that xbox you have will be able to stream Xbox Scarlett games. :D
In a perverse kind of way if I do get to go I want the queues to be huge, I want that real E3 stinky experience lol.
I'm assuming it'll be similar to the small Scorpio teaser at E3 2016, with a release the following year.
However, I'm also wondering if they'll want to release it this year to get ahead of the competition? They did that back in 2005 with the Xbox 360 and I think it did give them a big advantage, but it was soon followed by multiple issues (RRoD, etc.) that cost them a good chunk of money and negative public perception.

Probably an announcement like with the One x. Not expecting them just showing the fucking thing lol.
But kinda makes sense, Sony isn´t at E3, Xbox One isn´t going to get a second life like the 360 with the Kinect, they see it isn´t selling that well anymore in the US, might as well get the spotlight and get people talking about you.

I think they are literally the best possible moves they could be making given the circumstances of their current situation, and it's looking like it's going to be industry-shaking stuff. Can't wait to see how it pans out.
The only reason Microsoft is revealing their cards before Sony is >>>> GOOGLE <<<<<
Google expected to unveil long-expected gaming project at GDC next month

I agree with you on this. I doubt they have anything substantial to show with *over a year to go before Fall 2020*.
1) To keep mindshare during a time where they are still in third place and Google (and soon Amazon) are unveiling their platforms.
2) To alleviate concerns that they're going third party and pulling out of the hardware game, with Game Pass coming to additional platforms.
3) Because Scarlett will undoubtedly be integral with their xCloud plans, and that's happening this year even if the new hardware isn't coming until next year.
