A little dig at Sony perhaps; or a chance to one-up them due to their absence? Either way it's a good opportunity for MS, will definitely be paying attention to them this year now.


Dig is good for the industry. It breeds completition. Plus Sony will go E3, Paris show and playstation event. MS will go E3 and gamescom. Good shows for the whole year.

Paris show is not the kind of event where there is new announcement,that's the problem



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Basically: "Ugh......French"

Am I right guys? :P (high five!)

(Offcourse I am joking and just having fun)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Don't worry. Sony knows how to make a show. They will change Paris show like they did gamescom.

Sony will not be there? You sure ?

Sony will be at the show I believe, just not doing a conference.

Since a lot of people are talking about this, you need to look at this in a few different ways than just looking at it in black and white.

Ok. Sony isnt going to be at Gamescom? Well that means they could have a HUGE E3 where they reveal everything where as MSFT will be saving things for Gamescom. That could also mean MSFT has more stuff than they could fit in at e3 as well, but if im correct Sony has a longer conference than Sony so that shouldnt matter.

Also the Paris event is October 27th right? The day that Halo 5 releases. COuld be a strategic strategy to take some of the light away from Halo 5

Strategic strategies are my favorite. Way better than non strategic strategies

The problem is that E3 and Gamescom are too close to each other, even more than ever this year with E3 being a week later and GC a week earlier than usual. Thats only 1.5 months between those 2.

Imo Sony done the right thing, the announcements should be spread out more, 1 big show every half a year, while PSX should be for promoting games that are coming out soon in Q1/Q2 or teasers for full reveals 6 month later at E3.

Sony won't have a huge E3, they need content for four conferences. I'm sure it will be good, at least for my tastes, but they will likely be holding more back than MS. 

As for Halo 5, that will be getting plenty of attention regardless of what Sony does. I think they will announce a price cut in Paris, for NA & EU, just in time for the busiest periods of the year. Will this take some light away from Halo 5? Na. Hype, reviews, bundle preorders etc will be done by then.

Then next year when people ask Phil Spencer about gaming event,  Phil will answer on tweeter : " we might have a confrence in France as well  "  Lol , then the cycle keep repeating it self
