I don't know what they are going to do this year. All I know is that their #1 platform is the PC. They have been gradually integrating the XBox brand more and more with the PC. I expect them to do something new this year that will somehow integrate XBox and PC even closer together.

What specific form will that take? I have no idea. It might mean more exclusives or no exclusives, or something that makes people go "what the hell did I just watch?" I know that I still get a good laugh from the whole "Minecraft in 4k" reveal. I'm sure whatever they do this year, it will be interesting to watch.

Good games will stimulate sales..

I dont really feel Switch is stealing X1 sales due to lack of AAA 3rd party games.

Showing investments in new studios to have more exclusive ip's would help and putting funds in helping development of games like Sony does.
But i am sure that no crazy funding will go into recent gen , if they invest it will most likely go to the next gen.

Only if they screwed themselves.

If they have good high profile exclusives, like Sony had in the last years of the PS3, even if it doesn't save the ONE it will gain them a lot of traction and goodwill for the next gen. That certainly worked for the PS4.

Games! Games! Games! Show us you lost the arrogance and go back to being the Microsoft from the first Xbox and the early years of the 360!

Yeah, they're screwed. This is what happens when you don't have many single player exclusives.

Microsoft shits money so XBox should be fine.

It's been a great show so far, I'm not sure if it will make a difference in sales (doubtful) since a lot of those games aren't exclusive. But they have shown good stuff

Great conference so far. Microsoft stepped up ther game big time this year.

Looks like Microsoft is preparing for the next gen by opening and acquiring studio's. Not a bad move since third parties offer plenty of games for Xbox that it does not really need a huge amount of new games.

Holy shit that GOW troll :D

Edit: ok :P yeah, i was like.. they could have just shot themselves in the head if GOW5 wasn't shown
