While Microsoft isn’t working on its own virtual reality device, it is, however, partnering with VR companies such as Oculus to have some sort of virtual reality program,
In an interview, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida was asked if he was worried about Microsoft’s approach to VR, and its penchant to partner with other VR companies not named Sony.
Q: I know that there’s a lot of shared knowledge in VR even with separate companies. Are you at all worried about Microsoft’s approach to VR and that it’s just partnering with everyone that’s not Sony PlayStation?
Yoshida: Not at all. I was slightly concerned before because Microsoft was not working on VR publicly; they might say, “Oh VR is not a ‘now’ thing.” But, now they are in it. So I’m so happy that every company is working for the advancement of VR. And it’s just natural because they provide an OS for PC. So HTC, Valve and Oculus have to work very closely with Microsoft to have the tight integration because every mistake counts. So we can do it internally because PS4 is our own OS.
Even if Microsoft doesn’t have its own VR device, it does have the HoloLens, which some might argue looks even more exciting than Project Morpheus. Check out the HoloLens E3 demo here.

EA E3 Presser That Droned On...
We get it. Not every E3 press conference can be about megatons, surprises and whatnot, but seriously, EA?
After starting with an amazing Mass Effect: Andromeda reveal trailer. the publisher then went into full on "WTF" mode. It shoved down its sports games down our throats, used football great Pele in a not-so-good way, and THEN talked about mobile games.
Seriously, it's enough to make anyone scratch their heads.
EA might know about it, too, as it stowed its Star Wars Battlefront gameplay reveal trailer at the very end (just after the Mirror's Edge Catalyst reveal) just to make sure the audience stuck around.
EA, please don't do this again next year...please!

Call of Duty Has a New Mistress and Her Name is PlayStation

Well, that changed today. Now, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's multiplayer was revealed during Sony's E3 presser. Map packs will be available on PlayStation platforms first, too.
Finally, Sony exec Andrew House hammered the point across by announcing that the Black Ops 3 beta will be available first on the PS4.
Yep, it's now confirmed that frat boys, and dudebros prefer the PS4 for their shootbang fix.
