As a gamer, I hope Microsoft will show us something exciting for E3, cuz it really ain't right now. 

And proceeds to scrap them all one or two years later

I believe my only hope can be Alan wake 2.

Even that they will probably ruin some how.  If they aren't trying to force multiplayer into it (scalebound), then it seems like they just aren't putting much time or effort into it (Quantum break/recore).

I'd want to like sea of thieves. The issue is it will be 100% griefing.  It is forced griefing.  The only way to progress is to fight other people. And if you don't have a full team - you will probably lose.  Just can't see that as fun.

I want my games to have GOOD multiplayer more often. I hate buying 60 dollar single player games and once I am done, I never touch them unless the single player game has a lot of replay value which very few now days do. One of my biggest beefs for quantum break. Only games like witcher 3 and GTA can keep me coming back because of single player is so huge.

They are coming out this year? Wow, MS has a killer lineup for 2017!!!

Better than a bunch of niche japanese games that no one buys thats for sure.

so when you can't deflect criticism, you just criticize the fact that Nintendo/Sony have a wider variety of 1st party games coming out.

 

I don't like console wars, but come on. I wouldn't be saying this if we got more games like Ori.

Niche japanese games doesn't equal variety automatically. Microsoft has a great Sim racer, Arcade open racer, 2d side scroller game, Fighting game,FPS,TPS, Adventure,RTS, Sandbox game and more. Nintendo and Sony don't even have a game in some of those genres that are great. I rather have a company focus on games that cater to me and to the masses then focus on games that nobody has any intrest in outside of Japan. Which there is only about 4 million ps4 owners in Japan. Where is my big FPS game from Sony or Nintendo? I would love to see Sony bring back the Resistance series in a reboot. I loved Resistance

You can charge the joycons while playing with the Switch on handheld mode, if it's connected.

On the other hand, as far as we know, you can only use voice chat with a smartphone

Are headsets really included with a PS4 or XBO?

True, but if you want to charge in tv mode you do need to pay $30 for the charging grip.

Yes, XB1 comes with this headset and PS4 comes with this one. They're both very basic, mono headsets, but unless I missed something, Switch doesn't come with even a basic mono headset, and the cheapest Switch headset I've seen so far is a $20 one from PDP. Now of course some people will have some kind of headset already that will work with Switch, but not everyone. 

That'd only be necessary if you played for more than 20 hours straight. Given that most people don't, simply put the joycons back on the console when you're done and PRESTO! No additional charging needed.

Which niche japanese games? And something tells me if we look at some of the best selling of those niche japanese games that no one buys you are referring to..... they probably sold or will sell better than most of the games you mentioned. I mean... so far QB has sold just north of 700k globally. And its been out for over 10 months now. 

I'm willing to bet that Ni-Oh, Gravity rush 2, Persona 5, and the last Gaurdian will all sell better than it. But wait... those aren't the niche japanese games you are tal;king about right?

Are you really bragging about this game's sales?

Did Sony and nintendo rape your puppy or something?

Cause dude, the things you say.... I find it hard to beliebe that you could actually mean them. Cause if you do then its really disturbing.

Yet a game like Gears of War which is a tps  or uncharted 4 another tps will trounce all those games . QB suffered a lot due to other reasons that isn't related to it's genre like marketing and no mp. Also, gravity rush 2 sold horribly. It couldn't even get in the top 10 in UK on its first week during the deadest month in game sales. Last guardian will break about a million on an install base of 56 million which is horrible. Like saying a game selling 500k on xbox one is a success which we know it isn't.

yeah cause we definitely need more FPS.

 

Splatoon and Overwatch have changed the shooting genre. I'm honestly glad to see those two games exist. They freshen everything up and make it more appealing to people who aren't big shooter fans.
