Tomorrow (January 21), Microsoft is holding a special Windows 10/Xbox Conference, it will start exactly at 9:00AM PST, and fans are expecting to hear/see a closer look at Windows 10, a brand new Operating System from Microsoft which is expected to be integrated into Xbox One and Phones/Tablets. Will there be anything for gamers? It's already confirmed that Xbox Division Boss Phil Spencer will make an appearance on stage, so expectations of Xbox gamers are pretty high.
There's one person who knows what exactly Microsoft is going to showcase or talk at their special conference on January 21, Kevin Dent (Video games industry exec) but due to NDA, he is unable to reveal the details openly. So via few teaser tweets, Kevin Dent advices "All Gamers" to tune in tomorrow and watch the event, as it will be super interesting.
"I think all gamers should tune in and watch the Windows 10 Event on Wednesday :) It will be super interesting!" tweeted Kevin.
When quizzed that: "DX12 & W10 will complete the puzzle" at the event, Kevin stated:
"I have been pleasantly shocked by their ideas. I am under NDA so I can't say much and I like that I am not sued. and much much much more"
"I think they have their swagger back! The vibe on campus is electric!"
Additionally, Tom Warren, Senior Editor at The Verge stated that Microsoft will be holding a special Windows 10 and Xbox session with developers after January 21 conference.
"Microsoft is holding some Windows 10 on Xbox sessions with developers after the 21st. Interesting."
Adding, Phil Spencer statements about the event, it seems like this event is an answer to Sony's PlayStation Experience (which took place in December 2014)
The event looks good. MS, Windows and Xbox all have news, cool to see MS innovation showing up.
Event is more about platform and capabilities.
I am placing my bet on a full extension of Xbox Live services to PC, and it includes games, cross buy, saves and play. In short, Xbox division of Microsoft ceases being a platform and going games service offering across all Windows 10 supported devices. This looks pretty much on the card (i may be wrong) but this sorts of thing has happened with MS Office (another successful product of Microsoft), it is now available on Windows and other OS as well such as Mac and Android.
Make out whatever you can from these teaser statements, all i would like to add is, Microsoft wants to make their presence felt in PS4 vs Xbox One battle pretty much. Tell us in the comment section below, what are you guys expecting to hear from Microsoft related to Xbox at tomorrow's event (which will be live streamed here.).
