Microsoft E3 2017 Press Conference Will Probably Be Longer than 90 Minutes

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer reveals that Microsoft is going long with its press briefing at E3 2017 in order to make room for games that couldn't be left out.

Microsoft is going to re-introduce its new console code named “Project Scorpio” at E3 2017 in Los Angeles, but apparently they have a lot more to show during their press conference, as mentioned by Xbox Division Head Phil Spencer over Twitter.

Xbox briefing Sunday will likely run longer than our traditional 90 mins. For those recording just a heads up. #XboxE3

Microsoft has indeed kept its recent press briefings under one hour and a half, but apparently this time around they’re going long. Spencer also explained the reason for the decision, mentioning that there were some games that the house of Xbox simply did not want to leave out of the conference.

Yea, had some games that just didn’t want to leave out to hit the time so made a call to just run a little long.

As a little note of color and sportsmanship, Spencer sent his wishes for the show to Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida, who will of course be in the trenches on the other side of no man’s Land.

Thanks wolf, appreciate the comments.  And @yosp, hope you have a great E3.
