That actually wasn't a bad press conference at all. I'll probably get an Xbox One 2-3 years down the line when they slim that loving monstrosity up.

The only worse decision is buying a Wii U.

Wii U is the only next gen console worth owning.

Just nailed why I'm starting to drift away from games; they're all sooooo self-serious now, triple-A or otherwise, and it feels like the only alternatives are Nintendo and tude.

So I have an exam at 8am in the morning. Did a single interesting thing happen at the Microsoft Press Conference? I normally check NeoGAF first, since they generally go nuts during E3, but not only is the site intact but literally the only piece of news I see is some new game from Platinum that honestly looks really bad.

Infinitely many points, but zero length.

New Crackdown, some Platinum exclusive, GAMES GAMES GAMES. No big coups, if that's what you're wondering.

There's no way at least some of these audience reactions are'nt being piped in. People were screaming for literally a second at one point.

They showed the same games that they showed last year, with some extra padding of multiplatform games like Assassins Creed and Tomb Raider.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
To add some international data on this, the conferences air on NicoVideo, Japan's proto-YoutubeTwitchBlogspot wonderment of a website, after larger live broadcasts viewers are livepolled on their feelings of what they just watched on a five point scale where 5 is top, 3 is average and 1 of a pile of crap.

20.7% - 5 - That was freaking great!
25.3% - 4 - That was good
28.7% - 3 - It was ok
12.1% - 2 - It was bad
13.2% - 1 - This was a waste of time

Viewer verdict and feelings from the entirety of Japan seem to be that the games are too samey, but hype certainly isn't dead.

Just like movies, AAA titles are what gets funded since there's the potential for more return. Non-AAA suffers to provide that funding.

The Japanese people I know who own Xboxes not for the sake of its exclusive titles are walking (indoors) talking (online) social stigmas.
