I think they were somewhat outmaneuvered by Sony.
It was said that Sony had acquired most of the advertising rights for the "cool 3rd party stuff". That seems true as we didn't see a single trailer of all those games at the presentation. In the end, the whole thing appeared somewhat barren of "cool stuff". 2D side scrollers, cartoonish stuff, and for heaven's sake: Minecraft, weren't really the right stuff to show 4k superiority. So it didn't help at all that most of the stuff they did show is easily reproducible on a PS4 Pro with the same perceived quality.
It will be interesting to see what Sony does today. If they fall into the "show all the cool 3rd party stuff" trap then XBox fans can simply add "...and it will look better on the X" (and probably be right in some cases).

Well I woudl argue that Anthem looked like what is probably the coolest game I imagine we will see all E3.

And that is coming from someone that can probably guarantee you that I will not even get the game.

Well there are two ways to look at it.

For current Xbox owners, I think it was a pretty good showing. They focused on showeing game after game and spent little time talking. Hell, it was a good showing for PS4 owners as well.

But for potential Xbox customers and expanding the brand, you'd expect they would do more to promote Xbox One X at least with some new first party games designed to make the most out of the system.

But kind of the same situation that the Pro had. Can't really show off new games fro the system without alienating your prior systems. This is a mid-gen console, so all games will still work on prior consoles. Thus doesn' thave the "wow"

I mean when watching all the trailers this E3 for Sony or MS, one has to realize that they will be using the Pro or the X to showcase, or even a PC enhanced version. Thus the majority of gamers out there are being "lied" to in a way. Watching some smooth 4k 60fps visuals when I get it on my slim or one, it will be 900/720 and 22 fps or some junk.

But that is the problem with this midgen stuff that fans have been clamoring for. They all want their iphone yearly updates and s's for consoles i guess.
