Here is how I said I was going to rate the show a couple of days ago.

Basically, once you subtract off all of the BS, then how much actual content will they have?  I'm even going to be super generous to them this time.  They get half credit for any game that also comes to PS5 just as long as it doesn't come to a gen 8 system.  I'll even give them full credit for a Series X exclusive even if the game also comes to PC.  Games must also give a release date of 2021 or sooner to get any credit.  Again, I'm setting the bar really low this time, but usually Microsoft finds a way to limbo under my expectations.

Well, I looked into the 13 games and this is what I found.  Several of them will be on PS4, but almost all of them 12/13, will be on XBox1.  From what I can tell, only Scorn will XBox Series X exclusive.  It's an indie game funded through kickstarter that was always slated to come to PC.  But the only console I can find it coming to is Series X.  According to my scoring system that means XBox gets a full point on that game.  However they get a zero on the other 12 games.  So their overall score is 1/13, or 0.8 out of 10. 

I'll round up since they actually did spend most of the time showing games and spent the BS talking from people to a relatively small amount.

Final score = 1 out of 10.  That is pretty pathetic.  They mostly showed off a bunch of games that you can play on current gen consoles.  There really is no reason to buy a Series X based on this presentation unless you want to shell out $500ish just to play Scorn on a console.
