So Who Wins?
The competition was fierce this year, but in terms of sheer numbers alone, Microsoft is the clear-cut winner of E3 2018. Games like Halo Infinite, Gears of War 5, Forza Horizon 4, Crackdown 3, Tunic, and the rest of the titles introduced during the show remind us that the company is doing plenty of work behind the scenes to bring folks to the console. The acquisition of various new developers is only going to help ramp up future exclusive game production, and we’ll likely be seeing the number grow in future shows as they come down the line.
Sony and Nintendo were no slouches, however, so don’t think that they in any way “lost” — they held their own in a neck-and-neck series of presentations. And when companies compete in such a close manner, consumers certainly win. We can’t wait to try out all these new exclusives once they finally come to market, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year, either.
