Microsoft will not be holding a press conference such as Sony is doing this year at the Tokyo Game Show, however, Aaron Greenberg has confirmed to Eurogamer that they’ll be bringing at least some new things to the show.
“We are going to TGS this year, but unlike last year will not be doing a keynote. TGS is more like GDC, where typically only one platform company does a keynote each year and so, given that we hosted the keynote last year, we are going to step aside and let Sony have a turn on the stage.
“With that said, the Japanese market and the development community there is very important to us, so we will absolutely have some new stuff to show in Tokyo, but unfortunately you are going to have to wait a bit longer for the details.”
They’ve already confirmed earlier that, like Sony, they’ll also be announcing new games.
Just please, whatever happens, don’t let Aaron Greenberg play Natal at TGS. His big tubby ass will fall right through the stage.
I’d really like to see more of Natal at TGS. Mainly everything that they did in that trailer for the accessory, which I myself didn’t believe.
So prove it.
“…given that we hosted the keynote last year, we are going to step aside and let Sony have a turn on the stage.”
Wow. How nice of Microsoft to “step aside” and “LET” Sony have the keynote. What an @$$.
The fact that the keynote is given by someone else each year was all he had to say. But to talk about the keynote like they had an option to speak but decided to “step aside” so Sony could have their moment in the spotlight is almost insulting.
