Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft told Pachter their E3 focus is on services over games

This'll help WiiU get a good start this holiday season; is that what MS really wants?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Most of the new hires are probably working on titles for the next Xbox platform.


i hope so but if they don't really release new games for the actual one for years now, i'm not sure if people who buy a console for gaming see a reason to buy the nextbox because they will think that it will happen exactly the same for nextbox. if there wouldn't be halo and if i wouldn't hate the ps3 controller so much, i would have sold my 360 half a year ago because halo is the only reason i still have one. like i said, many of my friends sold their 360 the last year and that was one of the reasons i loved my 360, because i played all the time with them. they don't need a console to watch movies, they use a laptop and a hdmi cable to the tv for that. i have ~60k gamerscore and didn't play over half an year now on my 360. started few days ago with bastion, i bought it last year over the pc for 360 and forgot it lol...

i mean, it's not like sony wouldn't have all the movie and music stuff on their next playstation. they are the biggest music company on the planet now, i bet it will get a good integration for the ps4. and then, you have the same services on ps4, have the same multi-plats and you can be sure to get exclusives over the whole lifespan and not only the first 3-4 years and then only one or two every year (core games)



if true Microsoft e3 will suck imo.

Looking for Sony and Wii U now



Dashboard?  So Microsoft is now going to count revamping the dashboard as releasing a new console?



yeah, pachter again.

Then again, their Indie and XBLA work is noteworthy if Selnor's thread is anything to go by (At least I think it's his)

Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

good thing microsoft's conference is at a decent time where i live. i want to watch all of the e3 conferences like usual and i dont want to stay up late for something like services.

so far the sony conference will be the one with the worst time (2 am for me) but nothing that cant be done, and since it's the one i'm most interested in it wont be too hard to stay up late.

i have a schedule of all of them so i wont miss out =P too bad konami isnt doing it this year as far as i know, that could be.... entertaining.



Why would you show new services on E3? E3 is about games. Ive been dissapointed with MS E3 conferences since 2009.



oh you are back  



Please don't do this again Microsoft
