The good reason must be good.

Well...how could they word it to not sound like the reveal will focus on non-game aspects? If this was in response to someone asking if there would be games there it's pretty much the only way to answer. Now if then end of their press release said "and there will definitely be games!" I could see your point.
Also let me say that I certainly expect there to be a good bit of non-gaming related discussion.

I see what you did there.
I expect CoD, Respawn, and even Halo to show up. Three huge franchises to be sure, and even just one of those games alone has more pull than anything Sony showed at their meeting.
... But that would be really FPS-heavy. I wonder if that would backfire at all. Maybe they'll save Respawn for E3?

His name is Wilson. Get it straight.
That's because Sony's biggest games at their reveal were cross-platform. Not hard to compete with inFamous and Killzone. I hope that's not the bar they're setting for themselves. Personally, any time Microsoft does a live event, they disappoint me. They don't have much in the way of showmanship. Being considered the go-to FPS machine next gen most definitely wouldn't hurt them, but that doesn't mean I want a reveal full of nothing but them. I expect to see the shell of the console. The controller. Some talk about changes to XBL. Comments about tie-ins with Windows 8 and what that means in terms of the unified app-store. CoD. Kinect 2. And then some clips of games that aren't remotely close to being ready for launch. Phil Harrison has been tweeting about demos that were completed and ready to go, though. So maybe they'll shock me.
This post would be witty if not for a lot of pro xbox and some anti-PS posts i've made before.

Ha perfect.
Even though I think he is probably the most worthless character on a show in a long long time. Bring back Damon Wayans, Jr.!

If you think underpowered though they are that these systems aren't going to run hot and sound like a turbine in the room your sadly mistaken.
My former 360 Slim was easily the most silent console I have owned. Definitely more than the PS3 Slim (I had them on the same AV unit) but not sure about the OG PS3 as I did not own them side by side

You never upgraded to the PS or Xbox slim? The Xbox slim is dead quiet. It vents out, though, so it does get warm. The PS Slim isn't nearly as quiet due to the Bluray drive, but it's far from loud.

No leaks yet?
Just a friendly jab. No seriousness behind it.
?
I have a PS3 slim and it's awesome, but I really do 95% of my gaming on the 360 due to all of my friends being on there and just me liking the controller more so I get multiplats on there as well unless it's definitely better on PS3. The PS3 slim is pretty awesome and it never heats up my room.
I have a fat, white 360 from what...06? It's been with me since the very beginning. It RROD'd one time in like 2009...I think?...and I sent it in to MS to be fixed. It's been working ever since then and I just don't want to dump money into a new one when the next console is right around the corner.
Well, at E3, all news is expected (the games, specs, dates, etc.)- regardless of how much gets answered. E3 would be just a little over two weeks after this show. So, if Kinect is really a central part of Xbox 3 as we assume, why not dedicate a whole hour on it. They can take advantage of the 'next-gen attention' by focusing it on Kinect, then go all out at E3.
Just trying to think how these things are planned. This show is my filler till E3.

Bring Panos Panay on stage and have him show off the Xbox that designed/helped build. I would cry tears of joy.

Considering the most recent solid info we have is over a year old.... MS have done an amazing job of locking this down.... there was quite the flurry of PS4 news in the run up to the reveal and we're only just over a week left to go.
LET US CLING TOGETHER.

I remember when this was repeated ad nauseum in the Wii-U threads.
"NDA's, NDA's, NDA's! Nintendo Ninjas! There will be floods of new Wii-U games at E3!"

Controller? console desing? UI?
That would be cool but so impractical.

Obviously the next Xbox has no games.I remember when this was repeated ad nauseum in the Wii-U threads.

Except the dozen that have already been announced.
Their track record has been better than others.
So you like to cherry pick rumors? Got it.

What about all the devs saying "I can't talk about that xbox thing" or "Game for PS4 and unannunced consoles".
But of course, it is better to think Microsoft will show the Xbox U.
Ignore him.

There were plenty of those working on Nintendo games too.
I'm just saying, generally, keeping expectations at a reasonable level works out better in the end.
If MS does end up surprising everyone with a mountain of new awesome looking AAA IP's then all the better, right?

so don't have any hype right?
Dude, hype away.
I was just commenting on something familiar. It's not a personal attack.
MS will not drop the ball like Nintendo did. Not a chance. They will definitely come out swinging.
What happened, Hindle. I thought we were friends.

I'll try xD
xbitlabs suggest the unknown diagram could be the Durango APU:

Or a fake.
No... are you suggesting PS4 will be the only one console with third party games? LoL

Absolutely. I think the Surface RT/Pro are fantastically designed and built devices, and I'm absolutely in love with Microsoft's new hardware design vision/trajectory. If they put out a Surface Ultrabook/Probook this year I will most definitely be very broke.
Why? Genuinely curious.
Thats exactly what he said leading up to the PS4 announcement.......Not.
. At this point its pretty obvious which way certain posters lean when they come into an Xbox thread. Just ignore them and don't let them get to you.SniperHunter

I am REALLY excited about the new IP from Epic. More UE4 action PLZ!!! I hope they open the show with that

Had best be a detective noir game set in a Blade Runner-esque futuristic city or there'll indeed be hell to pay.

What happened to the thread? Don't let the Debbies derail your fun.
Get hype. Stay hype.
Get hype. Stay hype.
I concur, it'd be a slick design, but it'd fall smack dab into the middle of form over function. A tablet is handled, it's constantly going in and out of bags and such, it needs that robust outer shell for practical reasons as well as looking dab handy. For a console, it's cosmetic for 99% of people and would just add to the cost unfortunately.

Lol, that's some Rick James level shit right there. "I wouldn't just go and grind my boots on somebody's couch. Yeah, I remember grinding my boots on his couch"
