Still find it amusing that people think Microsoft is going to talk about Kinect for the entire show. They haven't even spent much time on Kinect for the past few E3's.

It's reasonable to be worried, though, as they are releasing a new version of Kinect with the new console. Honestly, I'm almost hoping that they dedicate this next event to Kinect 2.0 so that it's out of the way for E3.

1. Sony showed new IP's that were multiplatform.

2. No one ever said Sony was developers first choice.

3. Bungie's new game is also coming to the 720

4. PS Plus can not be compared to Xbox Live. One is a service for free games and one if the Online Service to play games and watch apps.

The funny part is Sony wasn't going to show the stuff that makes gamers upset until later. Your new controller has move built in. Your console comes with a PS Eye. They are still going to have apps, partnerships, and move. The thing is you just didn't see it yet.

You just fucked your entire post by saying that considering Sony only demoed (playable) a third party game which is coming to Xbox, and a shooter which going by the franchise history won't crack 3M in sales, good job!

So really, all Microsoft has to do is show off Halo 5 and Star Wars 1313, and by your criteria, you'll be positively blown away! :)

You sure do like to attack kowenicki huh?

Riiight, because M$ had absolutely no intentions of doing their own pre-E3 event to showcase their next console.  It was only until Sony did theirs that they went into "scramble mode", right?

Why would you want to do a thing like that, all of his avaters are gorgeous!

OT: Well, they sure didn't wait long to get started. I only hope they don't drop the ball with this.

Anyways, April 26 actually sounds very feasible, don't suppose we can put the "rushed" back into it's dark box can we?

It was rumored that the next Xbox would be revealed BEFORE E3 2013, in the spring. This is more evidence that is the case.

Kaz said publicly that letting others go first would show their hand and then turned around and went first.

And people say that MS is worried and reactionary???

Was there any proof that Microsoft were doing a pre-E3 event? I mean actual, proper proof like in the OP. Not rumor. Something like in the OP, where they register it the day after Sony's successful conference?
