Phil Spencer is going big for E3 2019, teases unannounced games and xCloud progress

Recently, Executive Vice President of Gaming Phil Spencer sat down with Director of Programming of Xbox Live Larry Hryb to discuss everything from Crackdown 3 to E3 2019. The podcast launched on January 25, 2019, and has energized many fans.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

I'm excited to see more

[Jin_Sakai]

I’m always excited for announcements but we’ve heard these same statements before every E3 this generation.

[Team_Litt]

I'd say E3 2018 was pretty damn big for Microsoft. 5 new studios. Unannounced games including Halo Infinite and the highest rated racing game of the generation...

I don't see why E3 2019 wouldn't be great as well. Perhaps we'll get to see the new games from some of the new studios. Price cuts? New hardware teased? Exciting times.

[NarutoFox]

I don't know why you're getting downvoted when your saying facts

[Potnoodle999]

It’s called a disagree vote. I happen to disagree with everything in his statement. It’s not a downvote button. I disagree with most statements that seem to say Xbox are doing well. They are not. That’s my opinion and although I respect others opinions (except blind fanboys) I will still vote with a disagree, same as a lot of others.

[mikeslemonade]

Cloud game streaming is stupid. Don’t support it because latencey is still shit and you don’t want everybody playing games because then they will focus on making casual games ie. Wii1, iPhone, and android.

The only thing I like is cloud computing assisting a set-top box.

[Bronxs15]

when you think about it, they have had some pretty good announcements during e3. most recent the cyber punk reveal. prior to that the one x and the one s was pretty neet "4k system". personally for me the biggest e3 was the announcement of 360 backward compatibility. thats what made me get my xbox one, becaause i was able to trade int eh 360 on a special and pick up a one x for really cheap. if not for backward compatibility i would not have traded my xbox 360 as i was keeping it in case i wanted to play some of my 360 library at some point. but being able to do that one the one x meant i could trade in the 360 and still have a device for playing my older gaming library.

edit: oh yes, purchasing studios especially ninja theory was a big "announcement" or "reveal".

[rainslacker]

Maybe they'll have twice as many computers on a huge stage, that don't get used for anything?

That's exciting right?

I imagine there will be some teasers from their new studio acquisitions. Their new studio I'm not sure they're even into production yet, and MS may not want to announce that too early. A couple may be ready to show something that will release sooner rather than later.

Xcloud progress I think would be fine to just issue a press release. PSNow wasn't a big thing for Sony at E3 when they did it there, and I don't expect it to do much for MS, even if they announce its going live. The fact its still in progress makes me question why they announced it this past year, but whatever.

As far as other unannounced games, this past E3 did have a lot. But many were multi-plat, and many were indie titles.

I'm not going to get all excited for MS E3 beyond seeing the new games, because Spencer has overhyped them in the past, and while they aren't always bad shows, and there are usually some things to get excited over, you can only set the bar high so many times to then underdeliver, and still be taken seriously.

It's really no different than Geoff Keighleys VGA hype statements.

[UltraNova]

I want to see new 1st party games shown in real-time with a release date of 1 year down the line max. This is all that (should) matters.

But yeah...its really not exciting to watch a race of one... MS will literally have the E3 stage alone. To each their own I guess.

[bouzebbal]

Going big for e3 like every year 👌🏽👌
28076;🏽

[Obscure_Observer]

E3 2019 is gonna be awesome!

New unannounced games?

Playground´s new RPG/IP
Ninja Theory new Game/IP
RARE new Game/IP
The Coalition new Game/IP
Halo Infinite reveal
New studio acquisitions

I´m there will be even more unannounced surprises! I can´t wait!

[Godmars290]

Most of which likely wont be out for years with further E3s in-between.

[Potnoodle999]

You won’t see half of that. Any of those announcements made will be staggered over the next 2 years. Just like all other console makers first party devs🙄

[Imalwaysright]

HentaiElmo

Does Ninja Theory have to finish a project for another publisher? If not and considering that Hellblade was released in august 2017, we may see their first 1st party game for MS at E3.

[sprinterboy]

Your delusional if you think your gonna see stuff from Rare, ninja theory and coalition.

[sprinterboy]

Plus most of them games won't be coming until the release of xbox two X anyhow.

[BadElf]

RARE will still be mainly focused with SoT...which is good. But, a Banjo Kazooie/Tooie REMAKE should be happening as we speak, on the side.

Hopefully

[NarutoFox]

Take note folks. This is the way you sell, advertise, and market Microsoft especially if you work for them 😂😁

[rainslacker]

Playground is a good possibility.
Ninja Theory is a maybe, but depends on when they started whatever they're working on
Rare - Doubt their new IP, but probably a SoT expansion
The Coalition - A teaser at best. I don't think they've moved out of pre-production yet, and its likely a next gen game.
Halo Infinite - Very likely
New studio acquisitions - If they have some, then probably. But not exactly all that riviting.

Most announcements will probably be for 3rd party games. Xcloud will be a bunch of fancy marketing talk, and if they aren't ready to launch it by this E3, they probably shouldn't have brought it up yet.

I expect more talk about Game Pass, as that's their big thing now.

[dekke]

@Obscure_Observer

u sir..i so hope u are a troller...u think indie studios make games within under 1 year?

[Vandamme21]

Let me guest. The announcement is probably a new Halo game and new failble. Then they going to talk about Gears of Bore 5 lol.

[Sitdown]

Haha, failble and Gears of Bore... That's hilarious! /s

[Pickledpepper]

And so is the spelling PMSL typical PlayStation fanboy. It's spelt guess for future reference.

[King_Noctis]

You’re so cool.

[notachance]

oh, I'm waiting for them to eat their own words and announce games that is still 2+ years away from release

[dekke]

or or or or ..maybe some downgrade3 or lets just cancel everything...and lets out put some TV and clouds and shits :D

[Failcube]

Absolute psychopaths are the ones who disliked this.

[CaptainObvious878]

Golly, Phill, when have I heard this song and dance before...

[CP_Company]

blah blah blah, like always. he is always says biggest show, and this gen is went from bad to worst. they hype everything with no reason. scammers in other words.

[Team_Litt]

Last year was the biggest though.

[TK-55]

Didn't Phill also say during VGA that they could do better? So while I'm sure his job is to put a positive spin on things for the company there have been moments where you see that they're aware that they need to step their game up.

As for E3 though I agree they had announcements (mainly the studio acquisitions) that show they're progressing towards being on the right path.

[bluefox755]

Was it? Seemed pretty lackluster to me. More promises, with still nothing to show for it.

[Potnoodle999]

Jesus really? Their biggest? Nothing they have done this gen has trumped their actions during the 360 gen. where are their stellar exclusives??? Because that is all that matters in console gaming. We all have third party games so where are the very highly rated Xbox exclusives they have promised for the last decade?? Nowhere to be seen. I have zero faith any new studio owned by microsoft will produce any GOTY contenders. They need to work for years with these studios before reaching a similar Calibre as ninty or Sony and proving they have the chops to compete.

Will they produce new IPs? Sure.
Will they be of naughty dog/Guerrilla/ sucker punch/ Santa Monica etc,etc level? No they will not. Maybe after 10 years of grafting just like these devs had to!

[RosweeSon]

Pile of turd yeah. Got some new developers still no games for games console unless they got confirmed release dates for a barrage of games they might as well save em for next Gen

[Vasto]

https://i.imgur.com/UQBeuRl...

[Elda]

LOL!

[bluefox755]

Yet they're still getting their asses handed to them by Sony. Imagine that?

[chiefJohn117]

Lol bluefox salty lol

[EliteComments123]

LMFAO!!!!

[Obscure_Observer]

@CP_Company

I´m sure Phil will deliver a great show and might disappoint some people who wants Xbox to crash and burn. Fun times ahead. :)

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Let's say for arguments sake - He doesn't. Like this whole gen, over promise - under deliver.

Will he be called out? Or do we look to the VGA's? Wait for E32020? Gamescom? ms own show?

I admire the resilience of xbox fans, you really do see the glass half full.

[autobotdan]

This is Sony Playstation fan website. Your not supposed to post positive comments about Xbox here

[rainslacker]

He doesn't need to worry about disappointing those who want Xbox to crash and burn. He needs to worry about not disappointing everyone else. For the most part, MS has done that a lot more than they've satisfied everyone else this gen.

[CaptainCook]

That's why Microsoft E3 was the most watched show 2019

[Eonjay]

2018.

[Sitdown]

Similar to how when there is a post like this, people show up to give the exact same comment.

[derek]

Good guy Phil is always full of promises.

[King_Noctis]

What did he scam you?

[blank_keys]

Meanwhile Sony’s time is running out because they keep making dumb decisions.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Really? Nothing seems to be affecting their sales. Can you name a few of these 'dumb decisions'?

[rainslacker]

Dumb decisions to keep investing in new games?

Somehow, I think as a PS gamer, that is probably not as bad for me as you seem to want to make it out to be.

If Sony wants to be dumb, and keep funneling all that money into new games, I say I hope they become even dumber.

The only dumb decision I'll call them out on is their censorship stuff, but as much as I hate that, it won't cause them any major issues for the future, and their time isn't running out because of it

About the only thing Sony is running out of time on, is running out of time to screw up this gen, or do something so catastrophic, it could negatively affect them next gen.

[trooper_]

So announcing new games are dumb decisions?

You guys literally crack me up.

I hope Phil really does deliver this time.

[Vasto]

Time to see what those new studios are working on. He also said that he want to Rare studio and saw the new game they are working on. We should hear more about Anaconda and finally see X Cloud in action.

E3 2019 here we come!

[Obscure_Observer]

@Vasto

I heard that Obsidian is on a hiring spree for their next AAA RPG! O.o

Just another blow at people who though that Microsoft will only invest on small/middle tier quality games.

HYPE!!!

[OffRoadKing]

Temper that hype.

I remember when Scalebound was a "blow" to all the people that thought Microsoft couldn't do a Japanese action RPG and we all know how that turned out.

[Kinglink]

They were on that hiring spree before the acquisition.

[gunnerboy8]

The problem will be the budget MS give the studios because they will want to make money off their investment and if the games are "free" on game pass then you need to temper expectations of sales. If you look at Sea of Thieves it's graphics while charming are also basic and less life-like in an attempt to keep the budget down and speed up development.

[oakshin]

If it's multilayer focus I'll quit on xbox if I haven't already I mean they will die in my eyes as a console maker forever no matter what they do

[rainslacker]

See XCloud in action? It's a streaming service....what do you expect them to show other than the games on it? Maybe the UI?

There would be no way to trust that anything they show in action would be representative of the end users experience. I mean, its streaming, the same thing Sony has with PSNow, and while it works fine for the most part, how it actually works for the end user is very hard to show off.

[wocexo]

Brookdale Senior Living fired Janine Garcia in Jacksonville but Janine now earnes 16230 working with Carpenter Technology from home. you can try this out>>>>>>> ;>>>> Start here…....... http://www.Key70.com

[PrinceOfAnger]

Can't wait to see what Ninja theory next project is, hopefully a game that even better than hellblade which was great

[bluefox755]

Sounds great in theory, but they had creative freedom. MS tends to be far too hands on with their studios. I have a feeling they will make what MS wants them to make, rather than what they really want to make.

[The Wood]

It's about balance. It's like they've been too overbearing or too slack. Definitely underachieving. Let's see if they nail their management of the upcoming studios and subsequent projects

[Kribwalker]

I’m really surprised you have a negative take on some positive xbox news...especially when ninja theory themselves stated they have full creative freedom as part of their deal with MS......

[gunnerboy8]

And MS will not give each of these studios a huge budget as they like tried and tested sellers and are less prone to taking gambles

[Goldby]

@Krib you can have as much creative freedom to make what ever you want, its whether or not the budget they were given allows that creative freedom.

[Kinglink]

While I love Hellblade, I want to see Hellblade with better combat. I love every moment of Hellblade but getting into the combat near the end of the game had me sighing. "Again?" It didn't really change enough over the entire game.

But that game was amazing otherwise.

[UniqueGuy91]

Can you tell me what was so great about Hellblade? I really want to know. I mean, the graphics was great and all and so is the sound effects. But, it's combat and storytelling was so underwhelming.

[StormLegend]

I'm always excited for new games, so I'll be looking out for what's shown and when they relesse. Better step it up MS

[Smokehouse]

Hyped to see what the new studios are working on. I hope it’s all new IPs.

[The_Sage]

Dah cloud!

[Razzer]

Really looking forward to seeing what Playground Games is working on. But it is about time for Microsoft to start "going big" in actually delivering these games. Enough with the "teasing".

[Parasyte]

Couldn't care less about cloud gaming. Just show me compelling exclusive titles that would make me want to buy the next Xbox.

[Elda]

Agreed.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

They will.

[dekke]

"exclusive" there is not even one...PC is way to go...most of ppl here at n4g comments with PC and yet all MS titles plays best on PC not x1xgeneration2.0-sea of full of fckuprotten 20fps on mighty x1x .. :P

[MetroidFREAK21]

Would like to know if Halo Infinite will be released as a launch title for the next Xbox or will it come out for the One...

[PrinceOfAnger]

cross-gen perhaps

[MetroidFREAK21]

That's what I am assuming. I hope that progress carries over if that is the case. I have an XB1 X and am in no rush to upgrade

[rainslacker]

Popular theory is that the X1X will become the base system, while nextBox will be the new gen. This would be keeping with what MS said about no more generations. If it is cross gen, then they'd be trying to support the OGX1/S, which is still possible, since it's probably being built for that anyways.

On the plus side, if the former theory is true, you may not have to purchase a new copy if you upgrade your console in the future. Would be more than just BC, because it will have the added support for next gen.

Some of that will depend on when MS releases both the game and the X2.

Phil Spencer is going big for E3 2019, teases unannounced games and xCloud progress
https://m.windowscentral.co...

[Thundercat77]

Exactly. Is the same cycle over and over. Lots of talk but no execution.

[chiefJohn117]

Miss quoted on some of those.
2014 and 2015 was good years for them.

2016 was not and that quote is wrong.
"I think there are certain moments in Xbox history that Xbox fans ... think of as important years. I think this will be one of those years." And it was an important year and they lacked that year with cancellations and delays and you see the results now.

2017 it was better than 2016 especially with the launch of the X

2018 ....uh not in my sense of big but in a certain way it was with a lot of playable demos and studio announcements.

2019 teases unannounced games and Xcloud
Okay what's the issue here?

So outside of 2016 which they promised nothing where didn't they execute?

[King_Noctis]

Reasoning with these people would result in nothing. Almost all of these fanboys just want MS to go out of business and would say sh*t about MS always, even if most of them aren’t true.

[rainslacker]

2014's failing came out in retrospect due to cancellations, but the show itself was OK. 2015 show was OK as I recall, but I wouldn't say it had the best lineup in Xbox history.

Outside 2017, where MS way overused the exclusive card, the shows themselves have been pretty decent. This past year was pretty dry for their 1st party stuff, but the rest of the show wasn't bad.

[trooper_]

It's the same spin over, and over again.

[nucky64]

what are they supposed to say? when any company goes to some sort of event will say they have big things coming. whatever type of event sony has this year, i'm sure they'll be saying something similar. nowadays, i don't get hyped on talk - i just wait to see what is actually shown.

[frostypants]

The key is to actually have big things that will be followed through on. Microsoft's competitors routinely do so. Microsoft routinely fails to follow through. There's just no reason to be anything but cynical with them anymore, until they've proven they've turned it around. So far they still haven't even delivered on promises made 5 years ago.

[Elda]

Heard it all before. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Kribwalker]

well we saw it last year, it had over 50 games, it had and entire theatre booked for the whole week and still had floor space with mixer and announced 5 new studios, and 3 new AAA first party games (halo infinite, gears 5 and FH4)

why would you question it now? It was by far the biggest show of E3 last year of anyone

[The Wood]

Why would you question it now? ?

so hearing the same tune year after year with the same defence year after year warrants no scepticism. . . Wow bro. When MS said they had trillions to spend a while back, fans like yourself were very optimistic and defiant in the face of doubt. We are in the 5th year of the gen and it's like it's impossible for some of you to remove yourselves from fandom and admit MS have underperformed and mislead for the whole damn generation. Every year its excuse after excuse. You guys bemoan Sony's frailties more than MS's when it's clear to the world who needs the most change. MS would swap position with Sony in a heartbeat

I'll end on a positive. MS seem like they're moving in the right direction. They can see how Sony and Nintendo pumps quality exclusive games and wants in because we all know they didn't buy studios to make multiplats. Good luck for next gen. I don't expect too much output from the new studios in regards to triple a games this gen but MS are giving themselves a better chance to compete next gen. They count way more than shows showing '50' games and releasing . . . . . . . .lol

[Elda]

That's clearly your opinion....imo their show was lackluster they just announced multiplats,indies & the same BS AAA exclusives they always have & that was limited There were no showing of brand new,original/unique & interesting AAA exclusives including the fact for several years now they've been in a drought when it comes to original AAA exclusives.Until they start having a better library of unique exclusives in their arsenal new folks including myself will never be interested in acquiring their gaming consoles.

[cfc83]

Great. E3 is one of these things i look forward to, even though i expect it to not be up to much. Good on xbox for intending to premier at this years event.

[thatguyhayat]

Hes like an Iphone, same sh*t every year with his quotes. Hes still yet to go big. His only major announcement this gen was BC nothing else besides buying the studios

[Skankinruby]

Wait what? iPhones sell on brand alone and dont deliver much? I'm shocked.....

[chiefJohn117]

The X was a pretty big deal and ruined the pros announcement. Tell the media to stop misquoting him. Revealing unannounced games may not be major to some people but media hypes it up as so. So when they do and you don't feel it's major don't blame him.

[LeeFender]

Super stoked - love xbox and my ps - love gaming as a whole. Exciting times ahead!

[bluefox755]

Meh, no Sony, not even worth watching. You'll have to excuse me, but I'm a bit skeptical of MS "promises" regarding the Xbox. We've heard this all before. More empty promises.

[starchild]

Yes, because only Sony exclusives are worth anything. Sony is gaming. Sony is god. Screw everything that isn't a Sony exclusive. There's no reason to be excited for anything third party developers are making. No reason at all to care what Nintendo or Microsoft are making. E3 matters when Sony says so.

[The Wood]

Don't take everything so literally brother. Hyperbole is a real thing. . Relax

[trooper_]

Yet you can't refute his comment. When in doubt, drag Sony in to defend against a reasonable statement.

[Silly Mammo]

@starchild- Your insecurities are starting to show. Maybe when MS starts delivering on their annual puffed up hype, people won't receive these statements with such derision.

[King_Noctis]

Insecurity? Lmao. Tell me you didn’t say that with a straight face. Have you read any comments at all on this article?

[chiefJohn117]

Something tell me you're gonna watch it.....and hate it lol

[Kribwalker]

for someone who doesn’t care about xbox or care for MS, you sure like to tell us often about how little you care, in every positive MS article

[King_Noctis]

Good that you won’t watch the show, so we won’t have to hear your fanboy opinions after the show ends. You’ll not be missed.

[doritos]

You triggered the crap out of starchild. Freaking hilarious.

[rainslacker]

I'll watch, just because MS does announce 3rd party games that will likely be available on PS. I also still hold out hope they'll announce something I'll want to play on my X1, but overall, I haven't been compelled to get anything since the last FH. Ori2 I want to play though.

[DarkZane]

I believe most games will be multiplatforms that will sell a lot more on PS4. Why would Sony show up when Microsoft can announce all the games for them and still get the benefits out of it?

[Jls1]

They need to, since Sony not coming.

[Cavalier]

Dont we hear this every year though?

[jznrpg]

Obviously they have unannounced games , they haven’t released crap in years , not even crap . MS is probably saving everything for one smaller period of time to blow their wad all at once just like the self proclaimed Best Holiday Season Ever!!! F you MS and Phil we know you are big liars and spinners and self proclaimers who always under deliver . Take your Netflix of gaming and shove it!!

[SkippyPaccino]

Phil and Microsoft can say what they want since the gaming media is just a bunch of spineless excuse for journalists... I don't blame Phil or Microsoft since they're just trying to turn a turd sausage into a hotdog for its enthusiasts to devour while the competition is blowing them by...

I'm more disappointed at the gaming media for letting Microsoft walk all over them and when they do decide to pick a fight it's for dumb things like "cross-play" that secretly only helps Microsoft in the long run. I remember a time when the gaming media during the ps3 era when they took a dump on Sony on a daily basis just for the fact that the 360 was in the lead. Simpler times...

Image a world where the gaming media challenges Microsoft to a point where they turn it around or completely bow out paving the way for another competitor to step in the ring and possibly add something to the industry...

[chiefJohn117]

Enter birdbox meme here

[BadElf]

Every year I get excited...then get pretty dissapointed.

If Banjo Kazooie/Tooie REMAKE isnt there AGAIN?!? ooof

[mnm339]

I must say, I have never posted a comment on here before and I am now because nobody has ever said this and its painfully obvious to me... I am a PC gamer but also have a ps for the exclusives but Microsoft messed up the xbox one so much this gen its obvious they did not relase any big exlusives because they were saving them for the next gen, microsoft will no doubt have a killer e3 because of everything they set in motion after an awful launch, they have put absolute minimal effort into the xbox one and it shows but behind the scenes they no doubt have been making games for next gen because as sony shown them, you need games... for this reason im not even interested in their e3 because they basically straight up skipped a generation to play catch up to sony. Microsoft are absolute bullshit. Sorry if this doesnt make alot of sense, im very tired lol.

[rainslacker]

Welcome to the comment sections.

But, everything you said that isn't subjective on personal tastes, has been said before. It's pretty obvious to most what they're doing, it's just some Xbox fan boys act like it's all sunshine and lollipops over on the MS side, and that MS isn't setting them up for something they're not expecting, all while going blindly into some unknown glorious future, but are to delusional to see the warning signs that MS is trying to still implement its all digital future, which will take away even more ownership than what they tried the first time.

[Mylove1516]

New announcements are always welcome. New announcements that have to do with gaming should always be welcome as long as they are consumer friendly. Some people should stop being fanboys and just be gamers for a change

[chiefJohn117]

Go big or be like Sony and go home

[AK91]

I wonder if we'll get a trailer for the Xbox Scarlett like we did for the X

[SixFragz]

As a PS4 owner, I must say I'm very excited to see what this could possibly be.

Hopefully we'll see some more Crackdown 3 aka Crackup 3 aka Crackmeup 3 aka Buttcrack 3.

[Father__Merrin]

its too late in the generation for microsoft now

[81BX]

This E3 is going to be huge for Xbox, Sony and NiN. I can't wait!

[Wikkid666]

Lol!

[Kinglink]

So unannounced Xbox exclusive games? Or just unannounced games?

Listen I like but I don't love Halo and I don't love Forza enough to grab the yearly installment so my Xbox One is just collecting dust. I've moved to PC, but I still find reasons to boot my Ps4 for games like Spiderman and God of War.

Sorry Phil, we've heard this before multiple times, and talking about games is good but from a console owner view point we need cool new unique games. You remember Scalebound? We wanted stuff like that instead of Forza.

Though I do want to see what you talk about with Obsidian and Ninja Theory but perhaps we're too early for that.

[frostypants]

So cloud powah and Crackdown 3? Is this 2019 or 2014?

[Retroman]

Hands on chin....hmmmmmmmm. why MS always "Try" to take advantage whenever Sony skip a event.
Dear MS why not go Full Force big while Sony in the race at E3 . give us some Ooooo's and Awwww , tingle our hype.

[rainslacker]

Spencer has made similar comments to this every E3 since 2014. It isn't because Sony isn't attending. It's because they want to hype up their show well in advance, and this is a good way for him to stay relevant in the media when they have nothing of substance to announce.

Every company is going to say that it's going to bring it at the next event. All that matters is that they actually do that. So far, MS has been hit or miss, or what they actually bring isn't what some people believe they'll bring based on the announcement. MS is very good at picking their words, and even Spencer doesn't post something like this without going through marketing.

[Donnie81]

Bring it on! I’m always down for new games

[Orionsangel]

I hope they announce more backwards compatible games.

[Jakens]

I wanted 90% backwards compatibility announced already.

I mean it has to be a big batch announced now.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Feel sorry for Xbox only gamers. "Wait til E3. You'll see" - Xbox fans year round.

[Chevalier]

Its announcements of waiting for announcements for the games that they will announce. Its always wait for next E3 or whatever the next event is be it Gamescom, Xbox event etc.

[Darkborn]

Sonny's going to win E3 without even showing up.

[SegaSaturn669]

*yawns* donotwant. Just publish halo on playstation and move yourself further into obscurity,

[tagzskie]

Of course they'll go all out just like when the xbox one is about to release. To hype their new machine, it's a same cycle. The question is can it continue till the halfway of the generation or it's just like xbox360 and xbox one?

[Hedstrom]

What? MS talking big, again, and again, and again?!!!

[Saranya]

They're going to announce Quantic Dream and Ready at Dawn to be 1st party studios at E3 2019. (disagree incoming.....)

[Skankinruby]

Lol with as good as Sony has been to David Cage that would be equivalent to selling his soul to the devil
