E3 2015: what to Expect from Sony and Microsoft

E2 2015 is looking like it will become a memorable moment in gaming as Microsoft and Sony gears up for a massive showdown. But what should we expect from these giants of the industry?

Well, the most we can expect from this E3 are new games, but there is a chance for new hardware as well, along with some surprises. We’re surprised nothing have been leaked about what Microsoft is planning since leading up to the event in 2014, all of Microsoft’s main showings were revealed on the web by leakers.

Sony stood a little firmer because the company was more efficient at protecting its secrets.

Microsoft:

We don’t expect Microsoft to talk specifies and to show numbers, for that doesn’t matter. What matter is the content on show, and we believe the software giant will deliver in this department.

Expect a ton of games, but nothing related to Kinect. Furthermore, expect to see Halo 5 and the new Tomb Raider in action. Microsoft may also want to get back at Sony with a big third party exclusive after the Japanese company managed to bag the newest street fighter.

Also, the industry might be ready for another Xbox one price drop, and Microsoft could be gearing upto deliver. Let’s face it, the console is not doing so well, and even at $349, the $399 Playstation 4 is still winning the battle.

To tap it off, Microsoft may introduce slim xbox one unit to reignite interest in this console. This could be possibility since the company announced the availability of a new controller. This controller has a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, whereas the original does not.

Since this could turn out to be the best Xbox One controller, Microsoft might make it available with the possible with new Xbox One, just another reason for folks to go out and pick it up.

Sony:

This company doesn’t have much to do with the Playstation 4 at E3 rather than show new games. The console has proven itself as the most powerful and the most easiest to develop for; Sony do not need to dig deep in order to gain new fans or new developers.

Expect the company to show games, talk about stats, and make a big deal about indie developers.
