Great news. I firmly believe Micrrosoft is aiming for a broad high quality lineup next gen with new IP's.

Really exciting times as am Xbox fan.

e3 2013 is gonna be Microsofts best ever.


lol Microsoft already nailed a hat trick for most disappointing E3's done consecutively. They better not screw this up because the core gamers watch E3 and we know better. The casuals only respond to their marketing so they take things as they come without expectation. This is why Microsoft hasnt cared to impress us at E3.

Thats respective anyway you look at it.

The fact Halo 4 was shown this year won it for me. I could only play Halo 4 this year and it would be the best year in gaming. ( As long as its not somehow trash )

But next year could be amazing with a new console, some launch games shown and possible new IP's from variious new Microsoft studios formed over the lasst 2 yeears. Now Rare working new IP's in the FPS aand action/adventure genres.

Really good time for Xbox gamers going into next generation.


Then you dont expect much from them except Halo. Thats all that it means and we dont know if the 720 or the PS4 are coming next year. Microsoft really needs to launch their next gen console though because their development capacity is horrid, save for Halo and Forza now (which is all thats left of first party). Gears is paid for and in the bag...which isnt going to be a stretch from part 3. The way Microsoft is ending this gen it makes me fear for the start of next gen. As I said before, lets hope they prove me wrong because they've proven me right for four years now. 343 is the brightest spot in all the Xbox has to offer and some of the employees used to work for Sony and EA. This is probably why Halo has taken such a dramatic shift in style.

I disagree. I  think its the best time. We have been watching MS make new studios for 2 years. We know and ave been told they are working on new IP's and game engines. The fact we didnt see anything the last E3 from any of the 4 new studios after some being formed 2 years ago screams they are concentrating on next generation.

This generation Microsoft didnt need to worry about loads of new IP's. Sony effectively made te first 3 years to easy for MS as they found their own form. This allowed MS quite a cheap generation as they could lure 3rd parties at a much lower cost than have there own studios create new games. Essentially this is why its taken till Gears 3, Forza 4/Horizon and Halo 4 to really show what tthe system is capable of.
