AR/VR would be cool if I could afford it, but I know I won't be able to anytime soon, so for me, MS spending probably 15 minutes of their 90 minute E3 conference on AR/VR is just using up time that they could be using to announce games that appeal to the core audience. All of the extraneous stuff starts to add up, 15 minutes for AR/VR, 10 minutes for the needlessly long CoD demo that's there every year, 10 minutes on average of presenters just standing there talking. And then there's the fact that alot of the smaller publishers who don't have E3 shows of their own use Microsoft's conference to show or announce their games, so there's another 20 minutes on average spent on multiplat games. Then the time spent on games that have already been announced (Halo 5, RotTR, Fable Legends, Gigantic, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown, etc.). That doesn't leave much time for new exclusive announcements, like I said a few posts up, I can't see them announcing more than 7 new games, and 4 of those are already rumored so they won't really be surprising.

Both of you game reasonable fair explanations. Yes, I am concerned about the cost too. Not just for myself, but also adoption by the larger masses. Doesn't matter if it's the most amazing experience ever, if only 10 people get to play.
This E3 will be the biggest surprize or most predictible. Oh, and I think they internal componets will shrink, but doubt their will be a slim yet.

Really? What does the guy do? Burn money to heat water to make tea?
