Hopefully they have a lot in store if it's enough to make them come back. I wonder if games that might not be ready to be shown at E3 will be here instead.
Microsoft returning to Gamescom this year; bringing "next chapter of Xbox"

hope it's kinect focused.
They never really left it... they just really haven't done press conferences there in a while.

Would be idiotic not to go.

Wish I could go to see all the new stuff coming for next gen platforms.
I'd count a much smaller presence as the same thing basically.
Will be interesting to see what they can offer Europe.
They left it out last year. No xbox floor or anything.

That's during a normal year. Now imagine what happens when Microsoft shows the new Xbox...

ofcourse with a new console launching you gotta be at Europe's biggest event.
Not really a surprise.
Expect some good stuff at TGS as well (at least from Sony)

Weird. Thought they'd at least have kiosks out there.

Cologne is a wonderful city. Gamescom... is a little too pure of just being a show floor for me.
Good that MS are going back.

Yep there wasn't a thing on the floor. Excited to see it in person. Good times! It is good news to have them making sure they are getting out there and covering many events and pushing games(as they were expected to) but its good to have that plan sussed out.

I think he means the 3DS guys. Not sure why a handheld company thinks gamescom is a good idea.

Heh, I tried to count how many women were in the picture. It felt like playing "Where is Waldo".
I found four !

Agreed. Everywhere but their kiosk will indeed be a ghost town.

Thread went to shit in record time.
Indeed, i can feel the electricity.
Their new Xbox boss in Japan didn't even issue a single PR of anything whatsofuckingever.
I don't even remember his name.
Kinda stating the obvious though, aren't they? It would be odd if they didnt talk about the NextBox at Gamescon.
"What do we have for the next XBox? Screw that, lets talk more about what we have coming out for the 360, even though we're clearly shifting gears and focusing on our new console!"
Granted, I believe the other console companies have done similar things in the past? So... maybe pointing out the painfully obvious is actually needed.

What a sausage fest...
j/k
Looking forward to see what they bring.
Oh you mena unlike Nintendo who didn't show up the year when their new console launched?
i still doubt they will even bother with TGS.
Japan is dead to them.
and no amount of money tossing will change the japanese opinion of microsoft.

As a company MS never dead to Japan,they even profitable there,sorry
Look at his post history if you can find a single positive post about a Microsoft product or statement I'd be shocked.
It's mutual Japan as a market does not adopt outside products very easily.
Microsoft is definitely moving to keep up some crazy momentum for the next Xbox, they will probably be involved in every conference they can get into.

Good. I hope it's a sign that MS will take the continent is more seriously. Outside of the UK Microsoft's presence in Europe is pitiful.

It says Xbox "gaming" experiences. Gaming! I told everyone the next Xbox would do games too but nobody believed me.
