Phil Spencer: New Exclusive IP at E3, E3 to Focus on First Party Games - News

The head of Microsoft's Xbox division has let fans know that this year's E3 press conference will be a good one. There will be a stronger focus on first party games than in past years, and Microsoft will show off a new exclusive IP.

"This is going to be a fun year.  I think it might be our best 1st party content year ever," said Spencer on Twitter, when asked if fans will be blown away at E3 this year.

"We should have new exclusive IP at E3. I'm trying to make this E3 more about 1st party than past E3s. And to be clear we will have 3rd party deals, it's just, imo, important to focus on and support our 1st party," he added.

This is great news. Microsoft needs to invest more in their first party games, and I'm glad to see Spencer make a point to show that they are.

Now while that would be great, did they not say the same thing about last year?

Hope we see great first party games from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

Also Fallout 4

Did they say that last year? I didn't get that memo. They said games and they delivered.
