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.

But they didn't watch the reveal. We did. Just like what will happen at E3

And he was arguing the reveal was for the core gamer. I have to disagree with that

I agree Microsoft is trying to walk a line between core and casual. But the reveal wasn't an attempt to do so... or a best a god awful attempt

E3 may change everyones minds. But we were talking the reveal. Btw he is the first person I have heard say the reveal was for the core gamer.

I think it is a no-win scenerio. If they truly did 50/50 for reveal and E3, core gamers would complain that half the conferences weren't tailored towards them. This way, it gets all the casual stuff out, and E3 is just meant for games. Long term, this could be the better strategy if MS nails it offcourse.

But ya, for the next 10 days, I suppose it doesn't matter and we can only focus on what they have shown thus far.
