For the past few years, Microsoft has held some of the goofiest press conferences in E3 history. Whether it be children pretending to have fun playing a Kinect game or overexcited studio heads treating the audience like they’re all children; there are plenty of jokes to be made. Good thing Twitter is here to provide the gut reactions we need to sort out what was good and bad about Microsoft’s E3 press conference.
As you will see, most people were not a fan of Microsoft’s E3 press conference. People come to E3 for games and Microsoft did deliver with some impressive new demos for Halo 4, South Park: The Stick of Truth and other top list blockbuster hits. It was the non-gaming applications that suffered the most ire from Twitter with the Internet Explorer for Xbox 360 announcement getting the most hate.

@JimSterling I have watched this Xbox conference so long that I have now forgotten what videogames are. #E3

@JimSterling Well, that was Microsoft’s press conference. You could have just watched ESPN and shouted “XBOX” every five minutes. #E3

@jamessouth “Internet Explorer Coming to Xbox 360”. I’m not sure in what universe IE being availalble on anything is seen as a good thing. #e3

@Brendan_Charles Lessons from E3: Don’t assume what you’re selling and what your audience wants are the same thing. #e3 cc: @microsoft @xbox
