In a few hours, at 18:30, will take place the eagerly awaited Xbox E3 Conference that you can follow and comment with us, in the version translated into Italian, directly on our Live page . But never like this year, the Conference was preceded by a real barrage of rumor and leak that might have anticipated many of the ads provided. Riepiloghiamoli together to try to figure out what would happen.

• Announcement of an Xbox One S (lim) -the rumor dates back to April, when we reported that Microsoft was producing not a "second generation Xbox One", assuming that it could be a Slim model, and recently leaked images show a more compact console with 2 TB disk can be positioned vertically and with video support (not for games) UltraHD. Images may be a fake, of course, but the combination of these with the rumor of April creates an extremely convincing picture. The chances that Microsoft make an announcement like "next week in stores!", as he did to Xbox 360 S, are very high. Probability: 90%
• Xbox and Xbox TV Stick -a rumor in may spoke instead of two other devices to the Xbox brand. An Xbox Xbox TV — a small, no disk drive and can play only the app but not games, being attached to a second TV to play Netflix, use other apps and play streaming from an Xbox One in your home, and a sort of Xbox Stick , a tiny device similar to Chromecast that connected to the HDMI input of a TV, has the sole purpose of turning it into a second screen for an Xbox One already present in the House. Both rumors are possibilities but we feel implausible at a time when Microsoft will focus to revive Xbox, without losing user attention on too many devices.  Probability: 70%
• Xbox Scorpio -and then there's you, more talk, the Xbox kicked and called in Scorpio, which according to a rumor in May would be 4 times more powerful than the current Xbox One, being able to play your games from the same discs of One but with graphical improvements and performance, just like when you start a game on PC of different power. According to this rumor, the console should come out at the end of 2017 and Microsoft was willing to proclaim it next year, but pressed by rumor on PS4 Neo decided to proclaim this year. We believe this possibility and because little MX announce with such advance a new console means "kill" the current console sales for months to come (and Nintendo knows something about: sales of Wii U have declined steeply since it was announced the existence of the NX) and because now even Sony has officially declared that no one will speak of PS4 Neo at E3. At most we expect MS hints at a "roadtrack" for the issuance of updated and more powerful consoles, but without going into specifics.  Probability: 30%
• Forza Horizon 3 -before we took the ad for sure, then a rumor mentioned a third series in the franchise to come on, and then again an store English confirmed the arrival of Horizon 3. I mean, what will be the racing game shown tonight? Even though we're sentimentaloni and we would cry like babies to the announcement of a Force-like PGR, we believe more plausible Horizon Force 3 's announcement, the rumor would set in Australia. Odds: 80%
• Halo Wars Open Beta 2 -at the event tonight we expect different times "available now!", with the surprise release on Live games, demos and beta. One of these moments, from what we have discovered to the world on Games Store, should cover the release of the public beta of Halo Wars 2, playable already tonight. Here are a few doubts, the store spoke clearly. Odds: 100%
  Extra bonus: are then leaked the first images of the game, much to like.
• Dead Rising 4 -first started talking of a DR4 exclusively Xbox One because of the release of some rather dubious images, but then three new screenshots and two animations of gameplay have left little room for doubt. It is now virtually certain, although we haven't certainties about exclusivity. Probability: 95%
• Didn't ReCore any -that the title of Comcept and reinforcement Study would be shown at the Conference already imagined, but the two screenshots, the cover and release date leaked just yesterday they reinforced that belief. Finally we will see the new game by Keiji Inafune. Probability: 95%
• Clubs on Xbox -fresh off the press, this rumor suggests that Microsoft will introduce the Club on Xbox Live, social groups that players can use to meet and play together. Images of the leak are convincing and Sony has already introduced a similar mechanism, the Community – so why not? Odds: 99%
• Ori and the Will of the Wisps -slim without too much support patches, rumor that: a single leak of Nerd Leaks has hinted the arrival of the continuations of Ori and the Blind Forest . The same source, however, was the protagonist of other leak hit the spot in the past, so it might come true. We are cautiously optimistic. Probability: 75%
