Both Microsoft and Sony had press conferences today at E3, but as it would appear, so far it has been the Redmond based company that has stolen the show, at least for now. Hot on the heels of exceptional sales of it's Kinect accessory for Xbox 360, the company is introducing larger support for the peripheral including major integration being included in upcoming games such as Splinter Cell and Mass Effect 3.
The company also announced an updated dashboard for the Xbox 360 which will feature the same minimalistic styling that is currently on the Zune media player and Windows Phone 7 OS. Microsoft will be adding IPTV streaming support to the Xbox 360 in the holiday season of this year as well.
But the most exciting news comes to us VIA the games that will be making their way to the console this year and next. Along with the launch of Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, Microsoft will launch Halo 4 next year as well as the next installment of the Tomb Raider franchise. Forza Motorsports 4 is also in the works for the platform though Microsoft did not give any details on it's development during the press conference today.
