Phil: Silent.
Aaron: I'm not going to hype the showcase up or temper expectations.
Sarah: GAMES GAMES GAMES GAMES GAMES

Sarah the new hype person of Xbox.

If this showcase meets it's high expectations, Sarah needs to be promoted, if it flops like Sony's they have to get rid of her, she has skyrocketed expectation!

I agree to an extent, but I'm more inclined to believe Sarah than Jim Ryan claiming the Sony showcase was supposed to be a "statement."

Unlike top PlayStation execs who are corporate execs first, Xbox execs are actual gamers as well, so they know what they have and that it would excite the gaming community. That was something I loved about Shawn Layden and Satoru Iwata was that they were gamers on top of their corporate jobs, and they brought so many things over the years that excited the gaming community.

Jim Ryan and Herman Hulst up to this point have been riding the successful projects that started with Layden. Now we're at the point in time where all those projects have released or about to release like Spider-Man 2, and all future projects will have been greenlit by Ryan. And if the Sony showcase was anything to go by, then PlayStation may be in for a rough generation.

So if the showcase turns out to be everything we've hoped for and Sarah Bond is hyping it up to be, then I look forward to the day when she replaces Phil as CEO of Microsoft Gaming or whatever his position is now lol.
