III 2016 is in the rearview and now we're left with tons of new game announcements some new hardware and a few surprises but as it seems to be every year a lot of III focused centers on the battle between Microsoft and Sony for console supremacy we couldn't wait to hear just how both Sony and Microsoft would pitch the world on their forthcoming step-up consoles Microsoft decided to show their hand dishing out info about the Xbox one s and looking ahead to project Scorpio would Microsoft have kept quiet if these two new consoles didn't leak out before e3 we're not totally sure but at least the company decided to come clean about its upcoming consoles first is Xbox one s a smaller all-white console with a built-in power supply and support for HDR and 4k video though not for 4k gaming then there's project Scorpio which the company claims will be the most powerful console ever made but we don't know much beyond that Microsoft simply teased the notion that it's coming soon likely next holiday season in 2017 on the other hand Sony kept completely quiet about neo that's the upgrade of ps4 that the company has already acknowledged but if the plan is still to release new hardware this year we'd imagine some kind of public introduction between now and the fall will happen of course Sony does have new hardware in the form of PlayStation VR that hits October 13th for $400 but it would be nice to know if psvr will be able to benefit from neo at all so let's switch gears to what really matters though and that is the games most of Xbox significant exclusive games are console exclusive meaning a lot of them will also be playable on PC they include Forza horizon 3 Gears of War 4 Halo Wars to recore sea of thieves state of decay - and scalebound on the other hand Sony actually made a significant splash with a slew of new exclusive ps4 titles among them were a new God of War game a new post-apocalyptic survival game called days gone horizon zero dawn Detroit become human a new spider-man game The Last Guardian a new game from hadhe Okajima called death stranding and even a crash bandicoot remaster sure a lot of those games don't even have solid dates but the laundry list of titles certainly cements the ps4 s already impressive collection of titles and that's not even counting VR sony teased a batman VR game and announced that Resident Evil 7 would be entirely playable on psvr now to be fair we're still not completely sold on the Playstations headset but we'll know soon enough of its worth a purchase come October so with all that information who came out of III in better shape we can't deny that Sony definitely has Microsoft beat when it comes to exclusive titles but Microsoft has what feels like a more lucid plan when it comes to their new hardware roadmap even if it feels like their console options are all of a sudden a bit overwhelming Microsoft doesn't necessarily have an answer to PlayStation VR just yet though it's safe to say that Project Scorpio will support some kind of a R or VR solution whether it's Microsoft's own hololens technology oculus or even both we definitely think waiting to see what becomes of Xbox 1's Sony's neo and PlayStation VR is the wise move that should give you a better idea of which console to buy and what the future might hold for each platform either way it's tough to deny that the rest of 2016 and Beyond is going to be an exciting time for games it's amazing what can just change in a year it definitely feels like we're at the start of a big shift in games and consoles and we'll be here to guide you through you
