Anyone else underwhelmed by that Inside Xbox? Discussion

I don’t think there was any actual gameplay other than that one game which looked like a top down stick shooter.

Hate to say it, but it was pretty underwhelming

Can’t help feeling like Microsoft is jumping the gun, pushing premature half baked games, just to keep their brand in the limelight.

In actuality it is hurting them. These devs clearly are not far enough along into their projects to properly display what they are working on.

Sony’s approach of waiting, may actually work in their favor. I imagine their first console reveal / gameplay will be stronger than this.

Yeah but PS5 is supposed to be out in like 6 months and Sony hasn't done shit. I feel like waiting is only working in their favor because everybody can work their imaginations and they don't have to do anything. Meanwhile, Xbox tries to do something real and stumbles. Sony just has to sit on their asses until a month before and THEN tout all the launch info and games. Also, the biggest issue was Xbox advertising they were going to show real footage and then they didn't. If they simply said they would show off some games that would be fine and said we could expect gameplay throughout the summer. That would've been fine. But they overhyped it and then said "We're working on being more clear and transparent"...then you LIE...okay then...
