Sony has showcased some excellent additions to its line-up and Microsoft relying on tried and trusted franchises delivers also. The future is bright considering some awesome third party announcements tossed into the mix as well.

We rank the most compelling reports on Microsoft's vision of the future including new Surface devices, the next generation Hololens and a brand-new pocketable device.

GeeksULTD says: Microsoft recently teased their next-generation of consoles. Typically, Microsoft and Sony would announce their next-generation of consoles every 6-7 years. This generation was nothing short of a roller-coaster. Not only did Sonys and Microsofts decisions look horrible, but they left many to be confused about the future of gaming consoles. Both Microsoft and Sony announced major upgrades to their consoles. Both companies manufactured new consoles capable of running their games at 4K. Not only that, but they also introduced HDR too.

GeeksULTD says: "Microsoft's next-gen consoles have been deluded, that's for sure."

It was an experiment, for sure. And one that almost could have ruined the entire thing. Which is a downright shame, because the actual content held by the conference was incredible. Maybe even the best of E3. But that format. Especially after the high point that was Microsofts conference, Sonys, which is usually the most talked-about event at E3, was almost eclipsed.

"Personally, I was pretty impressed by Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference, but for the wrong reasons. You see, the problem that I have always had with Microsoft was their lack of exclusives, and this conference was mostly world premieres of games that are coming out for every system. All in all though, I have to say that Microsoft did really well with their E3 conference, and this is the reason why." - Justin Easler, TGG.
