Microsoft Confirms E3 2017 Dates Teases Project Scorpio Reveals

For those unaware, Microsoft’s Xbox briefings have typically been held on Monday morning during the week of E3, so the company’s change in its standard schedule at the event is interesting to say the least. While this alteration to Microsoft’s expected appearance at E3 2017 could simply be due to a conflict in different companies’ scheduled press conferences, with Microsoft having made the announcement in a tweet with an image of internal components of Project Scorpio, it’s more likely that the tech firm wants to have its time in the spotlight before its competition in order to set a high bar for the rest of the expo with reveals for its new console....

Microsoft Renews Fable Trademark

On June 26th, the trademark for Fable was renewed by Microsoft, which on its own isn’t anything special, as companies regularly renew trademarks for IPs they control, not always with the intent to do anything with them.
