Well suprise about the stuff for tomorow and Madden is a big deal in the US so they prefered that over fifa well it looks like in terms of marketing deals Sony still has the edge but Microsoft does have enough stuff that should impress on scorpio.

My body is ready for all the shows it looks to be one of the better years with the switch just released, Scorpio coming and being shown on E3 unlike last years ps4 pro's ackward silence :P

Smart move by MS IMO.

Assassins Creed and Shadow of War will be graphical powerhouses and madden will sell xbox one S and scorpio's in the US no matter what. I meen red dead is the biggest game and sony has it and battlefront 2 is a big deal but I do think Microsoft is making a good case of backing project dylan over destiny and madden over fifa, but I guess we will know everything soon enough.

Smart moves by both companies but Microsoft does have a very strong showcase with the scorpio to impress the masses :)

Why do you guys say Madden over Fifa? It was both the last years or not? It's not as if they switched the deal with Sony, they simply lost one. Sure, they thought Madden is more important to them as Fifa but they still gave away one to the competition. 

It also shows once more that they will never reach anything in Europe. Instead of trying more in Europe to gain some ground over the long run, they do less and less if something doesn't work until they will have only USA and UK and nothing else anymore where people even buy their console.  

It was already the biggest joke that they had the FIfa marketing deal but all the Fifa tourneys in Europe were still on PS4 lol. 



Microsoft should try to get NBA 2K18 for marketing.

I just hope the extra time this year doesn't just mean showing a game longer as normal to explain the differences between normal XBO, Scorpio in 4k and maybe Scorpio in 1080p versions.

Yeah, I agree, it will be dumb if they do that. If they want to show a brief side by side for each game I'm ok with that (and when I say brief, I mean like 20 seconds at most per game). Let us see the differences with our owns eyes, if they are noticeable we will notice them, we don't need some blowhard member of the design team describing all of the visual differences to us like Mark Cerny did at the PS4 Pro reveal, he nearly put me to sleep. 

I think they should do a bigger comparison but only for one game and I really hope that game has not only a 4k mode or 1080p mode downsampled from 4k but also a 1080p mode where they put the extra power in other graphical enhancement which people will instantly see. 

Otherwise 95% of all gamers will see the show and be like "well, what was so different now except for less aliasing?"

I think the hardest part is to get those players to play with an Xbox controller.

Also, a lot of the tourneys are held by 3rd parties.

I believe MS should sponsor tournaments there but I don't know if that's possible businesswise.

geez I seriously need to get Mixer working.

I can broadcast via the guide, but I can't open the app. Says I need to be logged in with my Xbox Live account to use it. Well duh, of course I'm logged in and I used the XBL account to sign me up on the Mixer website.
Tried to watch my own channel on Firefox but can't see shit. Video doesn't load. On Edge however, it does work.

I think it will, sadly. Numbers are the only one factor Scorpio has right now over Pro, so hardly MS can focus anything else.

The only other way I can see is showing games only on Scorpio, but I dont see this coming.

Yep. I think this 10 mln FIFA PS4 changed EA's attitude.

Good for MS to secure Madden.



So 199 for an xbox one? thats sick with gamepass so many low-entry gamers can play tons of game, microsoft is really making some magic happen this generation value wise :)

I thought XB1 went back up to $300 a month or two ago. If it did, just means it's dropping back down to $250. 

Allright, well decent deal but that 199 spot would have been a little more epic, I would advice everyone with enough money deff to wait for scorpio then if its 399, which seems "possible" you would prob regret spending 250 on a 4x weaker console :P
