A long standing staple of the "big" conferences taking place at E3 (from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo in past years) is that each company would hold a post-conference roundtable with interested members of the media.
It looks like Microsoft isn't doing that this year. Oh boy, what now. The cancellation comes from just one source, Sun Media reporter Steve Tilley.
That doesn't sound like a good thing, especially for a company that has been tripping all over themselves since the Xbox One reveal the other week. Either Microsoft plans on being as clear as day during their conference, leaving no stone unturned, or they have some things to hide.
It probably doesn't help matters that this news coincides with a new rumor that Microsoft is having trouble with ESRAM yields for the console. This comes from a very cryptic but incredibly reliable (given his past track record) source on NeoGAF. Why the strange typing? It's apparently easier to hide his identity and he's less likely to be quoted by the media.
This rumor has also tied in to another rumor that the Xbox One GPU might be downclocked and less powerful than originally planned. Sony is reportedly not having these issues since they were much further along in the production cycle than Microsoft, with Microsoft scrambling at the last minute to get things in order.
Oh, next week is going to be glorious. Absolutely glorious.
