When Sony announced last fall that it would be skipping E3 for the first time ever in 2019, my mind started racing. Sony dominated the current console generation with the PS4, but with a new generation approaching, it was going to give Microsoft the opportunity to control the narrative during arguably the most important week for gaming of the year. With that knowledge in mind, I assumed Microsoft would go all out for its E3 2019 briefing.
In some ways, it did. The first concrete details about the next Xbox console, Project Scarlett, were revealed. We also learned when we would be able to try the xCloud game streaming service for ourselves. But as the conference ended and Microsoft played a highlight reel of everything it had announced, I couldn’t help but feel like the company missed its chance to get a head start on the next generation and plant the seeds to overtake Sony in 2020.
