Question for yall: How does MS top this in terms of a worse showcase. I'm running through scenerios in my head and I don't see how MS can actually do worse than that lmao.

If they show Starfield, Avowed, Hellblade 2, and Forza (and that's it for first party) plus some Japanese surprises like persona and yakuza, get a nice gamepass deal as well for a fall/winter release and I feel that's the minimum in terms of what they can show that would be better than what was shown.

Never say never. MS can still find a way to surprise us. Not sure about worse, but if they just show Starfield, Forza (which we know about already) and tons of generic games like Sony showed in the first part of their showcase, with all other first party games not making an appearance, it will be at least not better than what Sony had.

Because kids these days like games like this,

To give fairness to Sony, I think we may be seeing something which has affected Xbox in recent history.

Development Times Are Too Damn Long - AAAs Are Incredibly Hard.

It is becoming harder and harder to create AAAs and the average is now 4-7 years for most AAAs and people act like Sony wasn't affected by COVID but they absolutely were, a lot of their projects were delayed due to COVID but still released in the early gen period but now those studios have already released very large titles and their next will be years away so Sony didn't show them.

It's so hard to put out AAA on a consistent basis nowadays and I think we're finally seeing it affect Sony if this showcase is any indication. Xbox suffered harder though because their 1st party was virtually dead in 2018 and had to be completely rebuilt. Creating New IPs is hard, creating AAAs is hard, creating new studios is very f*cking hard, Lol.

This just shows how important acquisitions are, 1st party companies need more studios, more manpower, than ever before for consistent releases.

Or maybe Sony has reached the point where there is nothing left of Shawn Layden’s legacy and now they are sliding down the slippery slope under Jimbo’s incompetence?
