No problem! I use this to help me keep track and remember all the upcoming showcases. Otherwise I'd forget all but the biggest few.

Only 10 minutes, probably DQXII trailer and info.

Added several more showcases to the list. Early June is quite full now.

Almost time for non-E3 week! You all ready? We got PlayStation State of Play, Xbox Games Showcase + Gears Direct, Summer Game Fest, and well over a dozen smaller showcases.

Nice to see that Playstation and Xbox will be having events in early June two years in a row so hopefully that becomes a trend. I wish a Nintendo direct was happening this week as well but I'll take two out of three at this point.

I can't remember the last time Xbox skipped that 1st/2nd weekend of June. It is nice that even though E3 is dead we are still getting a few main showcases (PS, Xbox, and SGF) around the same time, along with a ton of indie ones. 

I remember during peak E3 years we'd have 4 main showcases in the same day with Xbox first, followed by Ubisoft and EA, and ending with PlayStation. Nintendo would usually be the following day.

Yeah Xbox has stuck to that, it's just Playstation has been more all over the place with it since the death of E3 though that might be changing now.

Nintendo being the dessert after an onslaught of reveals the previous day was such a nice way to go about things and I do miss it.

Curious to see what Sony's planning...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
