Overall I'd give the show a 7.5/10
Pros
- Fable, Midnight, Forza, Clockwork, Starfield all looked excellent first party wise
- A pretty good Japanese showing for Xbox
- Some good 3rd party reveals
- Lots of Gamepass games
- The 1 TB S model looks great
Cons
- The much needed S price cut didn't happen
- Avowed was a bit of a letdown graphically for me, though gameplay still looked great (and I have no doubt that Obsidian will deliver a good storyline and soundtrack)
- Shorter Xbox portion than I wanted to see, when the total length of the show leaked as just over an hour and 50 minutes, I was expecting about 1 hour and 25-30 minutes for Xbox and 20-25 minutes for the Starfield direct
- Contraband a no-show even though it was announced 2 years ago and was said to have entered development in 2019 or early 2020
