E3 2016: What to expect from Microsoft — Slim Xbox One and zombies

Microsoft’s Xbox One console is selling faster than the Xbox 360, but the company is trailing Sony’s PlayStation 4. At next week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, Microsoft may have a few surprises in its efforts to rile up fans.

The pre-E3 Xbox briefing kicks off a Monday that includes events from Ubisoft and Sony as well. We know the company will have a lot of previously announced games to show off like ReCore and Crackdown 3, but we’re also anticipating a slew of never-before-seen announcements. And this is the one presentation that may still have some new hardware after Nintendo and Sony confirmed they’re not bringing the NX or the PS4 Neo.
