Now the tech department can go either way depending on what it is you prefer. E3 2016 was more about consoles. Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One S, a smaller and more powerful Xbox One capable of 4K streaming and HDR gameplay. They also turned around and officially announced Project Scorpio, confirming the rumors of a much more powerful, VR-ready, 4K gaming machine. Although Sony didn’t bring any new toys to E3 2016, they did confirm the PS4K the week before. Nintendo is another company that didn’t bring its new toys, but the NX is around the corner.
2015 was all about VR, with several stage shows committing a sizable amount of presence to the new technology. The Oculus, Vive, and PSVR were all in heavy attendance last year as they endeavored to usher in the future of gaming.
It’s not so easy to say who had the better showing because, again, it’s a matter of preference. If upgraded consoles alone aren’t what excites you, then last year’s E3 was for you. But, if you prefer newer consoles that will allow your games to be even bigger, than 2016 is where it’s at.
