This year’s Xbox E3 briefing will be “a nice change”
Microsoft is already promising some cha-cha-changes that’ll be revealed at their media briefing at E3 2018.
Xbox is ready to “rework” their first-party future
While it does take time to make a game, the Xbox One and its protein bar guzzling young brother the Xbox One X need games which draw players into that brand. That’s a statement that Xboss Phil Spencer agrees with. "We need to grow, and I look forward to doing that," Spencer said to Bloomberg recently.
“It’s not for everybody” says Microsoft on the Xbox One X console
Why invest in a 4K gaming machine when your telly barely scrapes past 1080 peas? That’s a thought that Microsoft agrees with, as the Xbox One X won’t be the only console in their arsenal, but a decision for prospective consumers to hem and haw over. Kind of similar to the Xbox Box One Elite controller when you think about it.
Cross-console multiplayer may be a lost cause
Cross platform multiplayer is the dream. In video game utopia, we’d all just be able to play the games we wanted, with the people we wanted, no matter their choice in platform. For same games and systems, that’s already happening. Just not with PlayStation.
The Xbox One’s backwards compatibility is about preserving art
Speaking to Wired, Microsoft games boss Phil Spencer said that backwards compatibility is good for preservation, and "playing the games of our past."
At least the Xbox One X is launching with limited edition Power Doritos
Fast forward a few months later, and the one game that was due to launch with the Xbox One X-Pac has been delayed. It’s really not looking good for team green, know what I’m saying? Well hold onto your asses folks, because the next level of gaming is launching with the next generation of MSG on a mass-produced flat fried potato. BEHOLD! POWER DORITOS:
Xbox Originals and Game Pass could come to PC
Speaking to PC Gamer, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer said that he wanted to bring not only Xbox Originals, but also Game Pass to PC.
Microsoft toyed around with the idea of a handheld Xbox console says Phil Spencer
Nintendo may be the undisputed king of the handheld gaming market, but more than one company over the years have attempted to give the Big N a run for their money. The Wonderswan, PSP and Sega Game Gear are all great examples of Nintendo facing resistance to its solid monopoly. One name absent from that list? Microsoft’s Xbox Division, as that platform has shied away from going mobile. For good reason as well, as Xboss Phil Spencer revealed.
