Yeah think that was me.

They actually shot themselves in the foot with the announcement of the $399 kinect-less sku and Forza Horizon 2 prior to E3.

Had they started off the show today with the announcement of the $399 sku and then drove through the next 90 minutes with the exact same games it would have been a home run.

But by announcing all of that stuff early it made people expect that they had huge things planned for the show but really it ended up falling short of what had already been announced.

Good show held back by lots of multiplatform, and lots of stuff we knew about already (Halo, Forza, Sunset), but can't be a definitive win because it lacked that "wow" moment.
