Microsoft Cancels E3 Post-Conference Info Session

[GonzoGamer]

Two words - damage control. They're on the ropes and they know it. As long as they can show things in a controlled environment they may be able to salvage some interest in the Xbone, while they madly fiddle with it behind the scenes to make the rest of it more palatable.

That's kind of what I was hoping for. Not that I wanted to buy an Xbone in the first place but I wanted to at least be compelled to buy it. Actually, I think that's what Sony is doing, waiting for MS to show their cards so they can see exactly how much they can get away with.

As this drags on, I think MS is trying to ditch some of their consumer base, the ones who don't spend as much money. I think what they want is to get a few more people in on buying xbl gold, and ditch the ones who don't. They don't make money on selling the consoles, they make all their money on subscription fees.

BTW - love the Ellis avatar "Hey! Sprechenzi Talk?"

Having fun doing Damage Control Microsoft? In all the years I've have watched E3 I don't i can remember when a company cancelled their post-show round table discussion. Has there ever been a time when a company at E3 was booed off stage? Anyone know? That would be great to see this year.

However, the bigger concern for me is what Sony is doing. They haven't said a word since February. Which leads me to believe they are up to the same things that Microsoft is doing, but are letting MS take the heat. And it's funny because both companies said that they will leave the DRM stuff up the publishers, but only Microsoft is taking the heat for that. Sony won't answer questions, which leads me to believe they aren't the knight in shining armor that some people think they are.

I will need plenty of popcorn for this years show.
