Here is the thing I was asking myself the other day. Had Phil not come out and blew his own trumpet with, we got nothing to worry about after seeing sonys conference, this would have been a better showing. Had he not responded to their own previous showcase and said we got gameplay covered, I would have rated it better.

Sometimes the Sony approach is good. Don't set expectations stupidly high cuz if you do, you will end up hanging yourself. Phil set his own bar and then failed to get over it.

It seems like Phil wants everything. He wants to win the console war, SSD war, TF war, Gamepass war, most studios war, xcloud war, everything. As a result he has to make it sound like everything is amazing and catered for when it isn't.

Just concentrate on what you must and deliver. If xbox is going to be about gamepass and sales and hardware dont matter so much, don't make a sing and dance about it. There is nothing wrong with that until you flip flop. No gens he says, but then at least 6 games were next gen only.

The showcase was sabotaged by Phil. He essentially done a Peter Molyneux by promising the world.
