With each new console generation that comes out, there are usually a few attempts to bring something a bit more innovative out into the marketplace.

Xbox fans are ecstatic with any big console release but it looks like there are becoming more fans tuning into Microsoft’s Xbox gaming division than potentially ever before. That’s at least what the consensus is according to Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox. For some, this is not a big surprise with Microsoft making some big changes to the Xbox brand after the Xbox One generation. We very well could see Microsoft taking the lead throughout this generation after the company had their most viewed E3 media event ever. Phil

It was unveiled long before the latest platforms hit the marketplace, but Microsoft gave players a service called Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft has been making some big moves lately to turn things in their favor this generation of gaming. While there are always going to be battles between which company is outranking the other, there is plenty of anticipation of what Microsoft has in the works. We had the acquisition of ZeniMax Media which came with Bethesda along with their Xbox Game Pass service making the Xbox umbrella quite enticing to join into in some fashion.
