Xbox Exec Says Microsoft "Set Wrong Expectations" For Xbox Series X Event

<p>The recent Inside Xbox presentation promised the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/all-the-xbox-series-x-games-showcased-during-the-i/2900-3473/">first look at gameplay</a> for the upcoming <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-release-date-listed-on-xbox-site-but/1100-6474932/">Xbox Series X</a>, with the big-budget <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/assassins-creed-valhalla/">Assassin's Creed Valhalla</a> serving as the marquee item.

He suggested that if the Inside Xbox presentation had just been aired without the promises, the reaction might have been more positive.</p><p>This was also the conclusion of GameSpot's Chris Pereira, who wrote in an op-ed following the presentation that the central problem was <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-xs-inside-xbox-event-didnt-deliver-on-/1100-6476997/">how Microsoft managed expectations</a>. "A sizzle reel is all well and good," he concluded, "but this first look from Microsoft has shown the critical importance of properly setting expectations."</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-exec-says-microsoft-set-wrong-expectations-fo/1100-6477037/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
