Madden is 1 game. EA showed 4, then there was Forza and Quantum Break. Ok. 2 casual games in CoD and Madden = whole reveal catered for the casuals.
Good to know.
People who pored 80 hours into lost odyssey may like sports. Me included. Watching T.V through a device shouldn't be considered core or casual... It's TV!!!

Listen I'm not going to try to convince you. You already have your mind made up. You are determined to defend Microsoft no matter what and that's fine. If all the Master Chief's out there want to believe that the new Xbox is targetted for the core/hardcore gamer then that's their choice.
If you rather have a console with Kinect that allows you to say "Xbox... channel 29" rather than a GPU on par with the PS4, then great. I would prefer the GPU but that's just me
I'd want a gaming console that 's primary focus is gaming... not an after thought

I'm determined to defend MS? Wrong. You made an incorrect statement and were corrected. Get over yourself. TV isn't "casual" nor "core". People like to label things for whatever reason.. To feel more informed? To separate themselves to feel superior? Who knows. I notice you stepped away from the reveal being catered to casuals in your last comment too... Interesting.
The GPU argument? I understand the PS4 will be more powerful then the X1 but so was PS3 more powerful then the 360 and that didn't really have too much effect this gen, did it? 80% of games sold were 3rd party, 80% of the games will be exactly the same.

And yes, if Microsoft comes thru at E3 it can make all this mean nothing. But we are living in the here and now. And people feel like Microsoft abandoned the core gamer.

That got my attention. Thats just a petty excuse to sit on your high horse. MS have said even before the reveal, that games would be at E3, 15 exclusives in the first year, 1 billion invested in games, numerous employees said they were going to deliever at E3....
But nevermind.......were in the here and now. It is stupid to not think about the near future. sigh.
Why is it always dealt in absolutes? MS is trying to walk the fine line between core and casuals, appealing to both at the same time. Reveal was for them, E3 is for us. In hindsight, they should have thrown more core games into the reveal, but the 50/50 approach seems to be their strategy, and while the shitstorm was bad, it essentially got all the casual stuff out of the way, paving for their best E3 yet, we hope.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
