We very well could see Microsoft taking the lead throughout this generation after the company had their most viewed E3 media event ever. Phil

Playground Games Designer Says More Players Return To Past Games Thanks To Xbox Game Pass

When it comes to the state of video games right now, Microsoft is doing something really interesting.
