Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft's E3 Conference dominated social media

FentonCrackshell on 19 July 2015

Is it possible to laugh at someone and feel sad for them at the same time? I mean, these little things aren't translating into anything concrete. MS is making 0 headway as far as sales and excitement. Victories on paper don't mean much. I see things like this all the time when it comes to music, hip hop in particular: An artist will dominate social media and it won't translate into sales. Social media dominance doesn't mean much to be honest. Not everyone talking about something online has the means to acquire said something.

Thé thing about twitch is from them and is full of bad faith from them

Either way, I don't see how it's full of bad faith. MS is simily boosting they had a higher viewship, big deal? If Sony or even Nintendo had the hightest viewership or whatever else, I'm sure they would have shared it as well. It's not like Sony is innocent of such statistical spins in the past. 

Its mostly bad faith because they take thé stay they want where they want, its not a complet statistical analysys of all thé views on all twich devices and apps so its fully wrong like many proved



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

If Sony did have the more popular conference in twitch views, stating that wouldn't be spinning as their demo's and trailer's absolutely dominate the others shown at E3. Showing they obviously did have the more popular conference.

In terms of winning over gamers Microsoft won this year for sure and nobody should even be denying that no matter how salty you may feel. In terms of sales, Sony won for the time being as far as we can see. PS4 owners have literally nothing worthwhile to look forward to this holiday season. What boggles my mind even more is no one is calling out Sony for COD deals with Activision? Something Microsoft has been demonized and criticized for last generation?


How can your are your opinion as fact? Sony has nothing worthwhile coming out? Because you think so? Heck, when I see titles like MGS, Halo, Gears, etc. on either side of the table I don't get excited. Also, as far as the last part of your argument goes. How come MS fans are excited for BC but laughed at Sony fans for remasters being old games? I guess old games really aren't so bad after all huh?

According to the article that is the only market that matters. Y'know, because Americans are the only ones who buy stuff.

It wins battles, but it wont win the war. If Microsoft lost America they might as well hang up their hats.

Yeah, it's probably why they don't really comment on any other region...because there's literally no silver lining.

Only during the week of E3 not the month, PS4 had that. And saying that is pretty bad just because they did annonce their Backwards compatibilaty which was said to be the be all end all announcement at Microsoft's press conference and that Alone won them E3, atleast by the select few, yet it looks like there were only a select few who cared, it probably didnt matter as much as those folks wanted.

Also an Xbox fansite saying the Xbox won E3 .... yeah so there is totally, absolutely, no chance in hell that this article is biased in any way whatsoever. Thanks for doing that OP you've done your homework.

"So based on pure metrics and common sense, Microsoft walked away the biggest winner from the conference."

What a well researched and unbiased piece of journalism. And great for Microsoft being the biggest winner of its own press conference^^
