Are you not worried anthem will be similar? I'm also skipping destiny 2.... Bought it day one with the double expansion pack thinking that's all is have to spend.. $110 for a bare bones.

Also and completely unrelated, are you enjoying the f1 more this year?

Not really, if there's one thing a Bioware game has never lacked, it's content. The quality of that content varies, and it's not all always up to snuff, but I've never played a Bioware game and thought, boy I wish there was more to do. Also the reveal was very encouraging in terms of making the world look very vast and ripe for exploration, whereas Destiny areas always just look empty and dull. Obviously it's early days for Anthem, but as of right now, I'm just hyped

I'm guessing this was a reason for the Japanese trip as well. To curb stomp the exclusivity.

I also would love to know if Xbox One X is "forward compatible" just with lower settings in games as the next Xbox would have (if there is one).

500€ for a console is not even little at the start of a generation but then you know you will have years of support for it as long as it won't flop. 500€ for a console which does only let games look better as on a standard console and which could be already useless for games releasing in 2-3 years is really not where you say "that is fun to pay for".

If it would be future compatible it would be an easy purchase. but I guess the CPU could destroy that option. Engines are super scalable nowadays and there would speak nothing against future proof but the CPU will be maybe not good enough to realise games we see next gen.

Noble's fit!!! 

I like the 4K showing too

Just read Sony's conference... Not the bomb everyone was hyping. I mean they didn't show new games and showed pretty much everything from last year. Not hyped for GoW, Spiderman looks good. But I mean... I have to give the edge to MS in holiday releases

Lucky/Forza 7/Crackdown vs. Knack/GT/Ni No Kuni Probably missing some things, but I prefer the MS lineup of exclusives. I'll give a half a point better to Sony's E3 overall. So far this year hasn't been that great. Nintendo please save us

They just need to announce a new Metroid and it's an instant win.

I hope that article about Xboxs future is right and not just more fluff.

Yeah, thought Sony will beat MS hard this time with all their games from last year's E3 + TLoU 2 and some stuff we don't know about but it seems Sony does also wait longer now to show games not releasing in the near future.

I think Sony was little bit better overall if it comes to true exclusives but they weren't that great either.

But I'm a big Forza fan and I like Sea of Thieves, for my taste both are pretty much the same this year. 

Well, I believe him that he doesn't want to show games too early anymore. Scalebound was a disaster and it hurt them a lot and games change way too much when you show them too early. They could have easily shown some Halo 6 or other stuff already just for the sake of it and people would like this E3 more because of it.

I just don't know if it is true when he says " I do think we have an opportunity to get better in first-party and to grow. We've got great support from the company to go do that."

I mean, first of all I find it weird that he said he put all the effort in hardware the last years and then Live and now software. Why would you wait some more years to let your studios grow and produce more quality games when you know that this is a big problem, the output of your studios?

Sure, XBO was blamed to be too weak and that's what he wanted to change but how in the world can you wait some years to put more time and money in the studios when "We've got great support from the company to go do that"?

And then all the marketing which Sony got. I just don't believe he wouldn't have deals for FarCry or FIFA or whatever if he would have a lot of money to invest.

So, I think it's true he waits longer to show games simply because he believes that is better but I don't believe yet that he has such a great support by MS that he can invest more in their studios.

This "I can only put my time of some years in better hardware or software output" is just a weird message.
