Am I the only one who thinks the TV stream is a bad idea? It means they're going to try to put up a show. A console revealing isn't supposed to be entertainment, its supposed to be informative. We want specs, we want game announcements and we want to know what makes this different from the competition.
So please Microsoft, keep this as press conference-y as possible. Keep the showbiz stuff out of it. We don't need to see Usher performing his latest single. |
For pity sake.
I doubt anyone else had even thought of it... but now.....
Its a BRILLIANT idea. Its called marketing. They may even show us a console... not guaranteed... but you never know.

Seriously... You care about singers doing their brain-numbing pop crap during such events? O_o
Maybe it's marketing... Yeah. But the audience they're targetting with that kind of empty fillers isn't on the majority side, I'd wager. Those kind of segments are all flash, no substance to me.

but the perrson above saying they dont even need to show it at E3 is kidding themselves. That would be a very bad idea.
|
I assume you are talking about me. And fair enough. Everything left out of these presentations from MSFT and Sony should be shown at E3. Completely agree. What I was saying is it is not the most important thing either. Software>Hardware in my opinion. People complained about Sony not showing the PS4 at the conference and while I understand the complaints it really wasnt that big of a deal either. Advertising to the bigger market will be more important than anything they do at the pre-E3 conferences.

The truth is, I realised they didn't show the console only when I started thinking about it once the conference was over. During the conference, it didn't even cross my mind. I think it's mostly due to the tight pace of the conference. The focus they had was pretty spot on. I hope Microsoft wil do something as informative as Sony's.
