90 minutes until the world will finally know about the next-gen Xbox. Everything changes.

Overall I am excited would have liked more game news than Call of Duty but whatever.  Unless Sony has some kind of major exclusive I think I will be going with the Xbox One as my other system.  I hope they reveal the price at E3.

@SuperKMx:  YOu going to change this forum section from Xbox 720 to Xbox One now?

It doesn't surprise me. I think a lot of people wanted Microsoft to fail, and Microsoft did little to fight against them, if we're honest. They came out and gave us facts, as opposed to giving us just a little bit of information and then dropping bad news later on when folks have already preordered.

Plus, as I said in the liveblog, people are moaning about a lack of games. They showed and have confirmed just as many as Sony did, and this reveal was always advertised as being about the console - the games are coming at E3.

But, people read what they want to read, I guess.

The fact that 90% of them will buy it anyway is what makes me laugh the most.

Its also funny how the Mainstream press and tech media have ben pretty positive on it.

Were also supposed to get some more info on Quantum break tomorrow according too Sam Lake's twitter.


Microsoft had interesting timing as next months Game Informer will probably be XO focused and will hit the same time as E3 does.

Honestly, that conference didn't get me super hyped up for Xbox One, that will all change once we get closer to Halo 5's release, maybe even before depending on what's announced in the coming months.

I will say, just looking at its non-gaming features, which are pretty damn cool, I think MS has North America in the bag. All the marketing team has to do is be smart, which they almost always are over here. I can't think of the last time they ran a poor ad campaign.

Well I rewatched the announcement again this time with my son (he was in school at the time) this time I was able to pay attention without soiling myself lol.  I have to say I am impressed I am going to be saving up for this bad boy.  Not sure when I will get it but as of now Xbox One will be my other console, unless Sony has some good exclusives and its a reasonable price.

Same here. I'll get a Wii U while waiting for the XOne price to drop, & will skip PS4 assuming something big doesn't come.
