Greenberg’s response to the fan feedback came after a Twitter user came to the defense of Xbox by highlighting parts of the company’s marketing from the buildup to the event. Posts from Microsoft about the event had noted that there would be “next-gen gameplay, trailers, and sneak peeks” at the Inside Xbox event, though as others pointed out, many of the tweets and reminders from Xbox emphasized the gameplay part of the presentation.
In response to the tweet, Greenberg said he suspected the reception would’ve been different had the Inside Xbox show been presented with less said about it beforehand. Regardless, he said the expectations were wrongly set leading up to the event and said the Xbox team would look to learn from the event.
They(Xbox) stressed the #InsideXbox event would have Gameplay, Trailers and Sneak Peeks. Not just gameplay like many outlets and YTers are saying. It was exactly what it was. Bright Memory Inf, 2nd Extinction, The Ascent, Scarlet Nexus, Call of the Sea & more had gameplay. pic.twitter.com/panvk6tO8B

To be fair to Xbox, gameplay was shown during the event – it just wasn’t as much as people had hoped for. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was a prime example of this since it was the only game people knew for a fact was therefore the only one people could confidently look forward to. Its time during the show came at the end of the event and wasn’t as long or as in-depth as people expected.
There were plenty of other games to appreciate from the event though, and Microsoft still has more to say about the future of Xbox during the rest of its Xbox 20/20 events. The next one takes place in June with July’s presentation focusing on first-party Xbox games instead.
