I don't think there is anything they could do that would change the sales of X1 significantly.

They could buy Sony and rename the PS4.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Well yeah will get downplayed no matter what they showed.

"Game's already out on other platforms."
"Game will end up being cancelled."
"Everything was leaked before hand."
"Halo, gears, forza is no surprise at all."
"Too many multiplats."

And that is exactly what is happening at the e3 thread lol

If it was it wouldnt have so many people rateing it a 8 outta 10 in the thread.
So no thats not exactly what is happending.... .MS are getting props for doing a decent E3 presentation.

You have to let them play the victim card.

 

@The presentation. Many people doesn't know the games revealed are multiplats (and in case of DMC5 the trailer at the end had only X1 and X1X logos, inducing exclusivity thinking), plus 5 new studios (people also doesn't know how big they are or the games). So on perception front that would be a very strong showing, that for next box can be very good.

Also they talking about nextbox gives points on how good an E3 is... but considering they talked about no more generations and released X1X like 8 months ago it can make some damage to current gen sales and also make buyers lose confidence in the next generation... that feeling that if MS isn't selling well in a gen they cut it short, making gamers think on "perhaps I should wait to see if they will have solid sales so the gen will stay" and after "well perhaps I shouldn't buy at the 3rd year because they could release a new console next year".

Sony and Nintendo are going neck and neck with the Switch and Sony, the Xbox One is a distant third. Gamer don't seem to care third party are marginally better on the One X because of the high price point and Sony is just killing at 1 st party game. They already had Detroit and God of War and are showcasing 4 blockbuster 1st party games this year @e3, Microsoft can counter at best with 1-2 exclusive games and some third party content and at this point they need to so much better than Sony to even out the playing field and I'm not sure if they can even be competitive.

First party, second party and exclusives have ALWAYS defined the image of  console.  Because no matter how powerful of a console you have, you cannot have those fore mentioned games on that console.  And this whole "I just like third party games" to justify an Xbox One (not to say that there aren't other reasons that make the One worth the purchase) is a very sorry excuse.  Easily, Sony's console (for example) offers exclusive titles that are also of the same genres as those third parties games.  So you get more game, more choices.

More choices are bad, because they make it harder to decide =p.

Give me the same games every year so I don't need to think about what I want to buy.

So much this 

So that's why the One has been outsold by the 4 and now recently the Switch.  Never noticed... (sarcasm)
