🚨 do you understand what happened at the Xbox Showcase..
The show ended and most people thought that was it.
Then Sharma and Booty walked back on stage and told every fan in the room they were going home with the new Xbox Series X25 - free.
The catch: it only applied to badges marked FAN, not press.
- the console was revealed minutes earlier and still has no announced public price
- the room erupted so loud the clip is already going viral
- Sharma dropped it with one line - "how about those exclusives?"
- the same night Xbox confirmed Gears of War E-Day is a true console exclusive, no PlayStation port
New leadership, new rules. Xbox is done pretending the console war is over.
