I've just had a look at the E3 trading floor, and Microsoft don't have a great deal of space reserved compared to PS3 and Nintendo. If I could unlazy I'd snipping tool and MS Paint it to diagram, but I shall instead try to use the power of the English language to describe it:

Imagine a football stadium. Sony occupy the entire of the seating on the left as well as the front left of the pitch. Nintendo occupy the entire of the seating on the right as well as the front right of the pitch. Microsoft has a square of seating behind Sony. It's literally tucked away behind everything else. It's the same size as the IGN and Gamespot booths combined, and those are small.

0_0.

I r no good with words, gimme picture of floor

No but seriously wtf are they thinking o.o.
Do they really expect to win gamers over with there TV idiocy and hoping that multiplatform games will be killer aps for them?

I hate saying terms like this...

But they went full retard.

I was bored

Sony have the most floorspace of all 3 now that I've looked at the other halls, they have 3 booths dedicated to Sony Computer Entertainment America and Two Dedicated to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, as well as their "main" floorspace next to the slightly smaller Nintendo. All the random booths behind Nintendo are random companies like Razer etc.

Interestingly, Square Enix have the biggest booth in the other wing of all the developers, so we're apparently in for a huge show from them this year.

Such little space dedicated for food services :<

The fat ass in me finds that very displeasing.

Gamebooths, while looking small most of the time demand alot of space in all actuality, to account for things like lines, walking space, gamer girl model things, side swag tables.

Im having a difficult time seeing them fit many exclusive games on that small share of the floor lol.

I really hate sounding like a fan boy. But seriously I would be extremely surprised to see Xbox1 over take the PS4 at E3, those games really have to be amazing for there to be any hope.

Germany criticizing XboxOne.

I was gonna post a quote here but the dumb site doesnt let you copy and paste properly.


lol

 

[Tetsujin]

It's just criticizing the Xbone, not necessarily contemplating banning it.

I fully expect there to be lawsuits though.

 

[Geostigma]

Could have sworn I saw something about possibly banning it.

Ill edit the post to not be so sensationalist.

 

[Hisako]

Looks to me like Sony booked out all the floorspace first or something

I actually heard Nintendo wasn't going to have a huge show this year, because they'd rather not spend a huge chunk of money competing against the Xbone and the PS4 for attention (and new consoles always guarantee the most attention).

I guess that was wrong?

 

[Tetsujin]

Nintendo is at E3 but there won't be a conference.

 

[Lex]

It'll more than likely just be set up so there are a jillion Wii U's with upcoming games to play.

It'll more than likely just be set up so there are a jillion Wii U's with upcoming games to play.

Well they don't have a console to announce, so that's reasonable I guess.

 

[Tetsujin]

They have games to announce however.

 

[Hisako]

And same with Microsoft's E3 booth. It's likely that they're focusing on simply putting out games in E3 as they promised in their announcement, and that they're going low-key because Sony wants the floor that badly.

Wouldn't be surprised if they got strongarmed out of any real real estate because Sony was so desperate to beat them to the punch.

^ By the off chance I ever get an x-one I'll just put tape over the camera. I don't think MS is dumb enough to apply that consumer monitoring patent though. But you never know.

 

[PhantomSephiroth]

Somebody in the front row of the MS conferance should totaly do that.

 

[Zee]

can i just

be the one to raise my hand and point out that cost also probably factors into how much floorspace a company gets, not just what their showing? not just securing the floorspace itself, but any product giveaways, expenses for staff, etc, all cost a pretty penny

 

[Lex]

Absolutely. So Microsoft paid less for whatever reason.

i have a spiritual connection with rev3games right now their ambivalence speaks to me

as much as i was underwhelmed by the xbox reveal the kneejerk reaction to latch onto the ps4/wii u just makes me heave a big heavy sigh (esp since sony is skirting around any official commentary on similar issues but it's likely they'll clarify that stance at e3, however that doesn't make me any less edgy)

this entire generation so far is completely underwhelming i feel like a bitter 90 year old woman waving a cane everyone everyone get off my lawn

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Sony came out in support of used games during the PS4 announcement, and with everything surrounding the XboxOne fiasco, I can see why they'd delay any additional statements until E3 - it's a good strategy for them to try to 1up Microsoft on every official point that they can during the presentation.

I am really curious to see what Microsoft has to stand up against something like that if it's dropped at E3.
