With no PlayStation conference, all eyes were on Xbox this E3 to capitalize on its missing rival and put the show on its back. Unfortunately, it didn't really achieve this. Xbox had a strong media showcase, but it played things safe and held back its full next-gen plans for presumably next E3. That said, despite a somewhat underwhelming conference, Xbox still posted record-breaking E3 numbers, according to Phil Spencer.

More specifically, according to the Xbox head honcho, Xbox generated record social traffic during the week, record stage presentation views, and 2x more people tuned into Inside Xbox for a deeper look at games and Scarlett.

Just looked at the #s, thanks to fans who made 2019 a great E3 for Xbox. Record social traffic during the week, record views of briefing, 2x the number of fans watching Inside Xbox, 1000s of people at the MS Theater to watch briefing and play games. You all made #E32019 great. https://t.co/dV2165bFFO

While many believe Nintendo won E3 this year, clearly Xbox had a strong showing. It didn't put on the most exciting show, but it benefited from the lack of PlayStation and had one of its best E3s in awhile, from a numbers perspective at least.
