Microsoft's Entire Xbox Series S Press Briefing Has Leaked Online

Well they really worked hard for the launch in these pandemic times. They should just release the briefing officially.

I think the surprise reveal actually worked out pretty well for them! Massive positive buzz going around atm about Xbox.

@Friendly So True! It’s wild how different the perception is from right after Halo got delayed until now. Kinda neat to see how different the strategies between Microsoft and Sony are this generation. This week has me way more excited. I think one way they could continue to build hype would be to tweet out and spotlight one or two new backwards compatible Xbox/360 games that are getting updates on series X just to remind people of all the options they will have to play on launch day.

Did I already say how much I HATE all of those so-called leakers ?

It's so unfair for all of these guys who have worked their asses to give us the best reveal possible... and now, because of one or two morons, everything was just rushed out.

Sure, we all liked what we learned those past few days. But Sony, too. I really think that Sony is going to re-think its strategic now (aka its prices) and Microsoft just lost a big advantage that they could come with.

Imagine for a moment : Sony reveals its PS5 is 600 dollars, and its PS5 digital 500. AND THEN Micosoft unleash its prices.

Now I guess Sony will align its offer : probably 500 for PS5, 400 for PS5 digital. PS players are the winner, here, and it's good for them.

@Bobobiwan who knows! Maybe Microsoft planned this all out to catch Sony off guard 😏

But yes, I agree. I also hate leakers and their few moments of internet fame.

Never heard of this walker feline guy but it's another tweeter account to block for me! People that do this to it for follows and clicks and I'm determined to give them the entire opposite.

Enough with these leaks already, I like to be surprised sometimes.. These leakers ruin everything..

Such a crappy thing to do, hope they find whoever this is!

@Friendly

I do agree that the news that came from the leak was really great actually. $299 for a next-gen console is ridiculous. And $499 for the most powerful console (by far) on the planet is great also. Plus, EA Play just makes Game Pass an even greater deal than it already was.

Leaks are truely unfortunate, but at least this one turned out great.

Hopefully we still get to see this. I really want to watch it

I hope they find whoever is leaking inside Microsoft and fire him/her

@graysoncharles I agree, to me this thing snacks of guerilla marketing more than "leaks". Add Sony with "project nimble" for their presser and we have a clear picture of how both did this reveal.

I think it's a shame that we didn't get the pleasure of an official reveal, even though we all knew it was coming. but I suppose they should not have really sat on this for quite as long as they did... 1 or 2 weeks after the series X announcement would have been fine and still caused quite a bit of buzz at the time.

@graysoncharles a part of me agrees with you, but then I see this press conference and wonder about that. This press “conference” just reeks of MS boring marketing, and is super boring. And it makes me wonder about next Tuesday; if this deflates the xCloud launch.

Whilst I hate leaking, the leak really gave a good push that MS needed. And now maybe Sony to.
