Xbox Games Showcase byder ikke på Project Helix eller "strategy talk"

Der er fortsat en masse åbne spørgsmål om Xbox-brandets fremtid, selv efter en række store bevægelser fra den nye chef, Asha Sharma. Vi ved ikke hvordan de vil behandle platformeksklusivitet, om spilstudier lukkes ned eller hvor meget Project Helix vil koste, eksempelvis.

Men disse spørgsmål vil ikke blive besvaret under Xbox Games Showcase, den vil udelukkende handle om spillene. I et officielt show der hyper Xbox Games Showcase siger Matt Booty nemlig dette:

"This is not going to be a place where we're going to talk about strategy broadly. There are certainly some strategic things that are out there and things we want to bring clarity to. But the focus here is on the games. For the long term, we want to make the right decisions, not fast decisions. And I can also say that there won't be Helix news. So Helix will not be in this showcase. Again, we want to get everything about that right. So we're really focused on the games now."

Du skal altså forvente nye kig på alt fra Halo: Campaign Evolved til Fable, og Clockwork Revolution til Gears of War E-Day, men ikke bredere betragtninger om brandets markedsposition.
