    “even with games we won’t sell more Xboxes than PlayStations” (not that I care about the “console war”, but that’s definitely not a confident man speaking)

    I don’t think that speaks to confidence in general, I think it speaks to accepting the reality of where they are with regards to hardware sales.

    I am hoping this will be a good showcase for them. Regardless, I appreciate that they are allegedly taking the “no CGI trailers” approach.

      I think it speaks to accepting the reality of where they are with regards to hardware sales. Agreed, but I wouldn’t say the Xbox situation is as hopeless as he paints it out to be if they got XGS games to show for it. Especially with Sony’s exclusivity deals (which luckily are far less than before, looking at Street Fighter 6 for example). Phil’s philosophy of getting games on any platform (despite starting to Xbox/PC lock Bethesda games) definitely shows with third party developers nowadays.

      Sony set the bar low this time around, so I think it’ll be good. Last showcase with the Hi-Fi Rush shadow drop was a good format for them - quick, content-filled. If they stick with that type of format, I’m a happy guy.
