Well they do have the better mid gen machine. The problem is that its more exemplary of a next gen consoles, rather than a mid gen one. 4k gaming wont be streamline until next gen when enough units have been purchased. The goal for this generation should've been to nail 1080 60 fps for all games accounted for before the end of the gen. Microsoft swung for the fences, just to say they beat Sony at something. Instead, Microsoft is going to make next gen a much smaller gap in capabilties. This means they are really going to have to show off some great games that cannot be found anywhere else. Sony is going to drop an avalanche of exclusives on them at E3 for sure.

Everyone seems to underestimate MS when it comes to E3. Since launch Xbox has had really good E3s. The only time i remember Sony out doing MS on games at E3 was when they announced Shemue 3, FF7 and TLG which were games that are 2+ years away. 

If gamers think Xbox is just going to show case Hardware only and very little software to go with it at this years E3 than they clearly havnt watched history. Only bad E3 Xbox had was in 2013 when gamers complained that thet couldnt play there games in a Nuclear Submarine.

Scorpio is the perfect console to showcase lots of new software for it. Expect them to hit hard with a bunch of games and them claiming it *Runs better on Scorpio* modo. Who knows, maybe showcase FF7 on Scorpio bombshell. Spencer is a gamer. He knows what gamers want.

Spencer is a gamer, but cannot speak for all gamers. As for gamers, I know we can be objective here, but Microsoft has never had the amount or level of developers that Sony has had when it comes to game development that put out a certain level of content. I mean I love halo, Gears and Forza, but until Microsoft get creative they will never stand a chance. I mean spencer has admitted before that hes tried to make games like Uncharted and failed to as to why they got Tomb Raider (as an alternative game for Xbox). It adds insult to injury that not only is Sonys firsty part some of the best in the industry, but they also have some of the best second and third party behind them. Microsoft got a taste of Sonys second party with sunset overdrive.  I've always wanted Microsoft to be competitive with Sony with their first party, but lets see what they've gathered.People dont learn from history and it is that Microsoft will need to come with games, not higher specs. After the third year is done Sony comes with the exclusives and its not to be taken lightly. I guess third party will have to do all the creative work with new IP for Microsoft, but I hope I am wrong. Perhaps I grew up with such a high standard of my first party that I expect my American brand who more money to invest in itself to do as well. I think its not a money problem, but a vision problem.
