Apparently we aren’t the only ones who thought some of the applause breaks during the Xbox One reveal sounded a little off. Adam Sessler, the Executive Producer of Revision3, tweeted during the event that the racous cheers and applause weren’t coming from the press. Is it surprising that the gaming media weren’t especially enthusiatic about the reveal’s focus on TV and sports? Probably not.
The cheering in the audience is not coming from the press…

Hopefully we’ll get to see some of the 15 exclusive games coming to Xbox One at E3. Those should garner some applause.
UPDATE: Jeff Gerstmann, co-founder of GiantBomb.com, also has doubts about the source of applause.
Applause is coming from the back of the room, for those of you that asked. Pretty sure that’s where all the MS employees are.

Breanna has been gaming since infancy, if gnawing on an unattended controller counts as playing a game. One of the younger members of the Gaming Trend family, she dabbled in PC games as a kid but wasn't fully consumed by the hobby until the sixth generation of consoles. Now an avid PC and console gamer, she looks forward to the day when she can scape together enough cash to join the next gen club.
In the last week of middle school, a math teacher taught her how to program a calculator; she was pretty much hooked then and there. Currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Applied Math, Breanna hope to someday make games instead of just writing about them. Other hobbies include playing guitar, binge-watching Netflix, and cooking delicious food.
