The big hullaboo of E3 draws ever nearer and as everyone eagerly awaits another year's worth of announcements for the big event, we're starting to get some idea of Microsoft's presence at the annual expo.

Good ol' Phil Spencer has been chatting on Twitter (as spotted by CVG), and he answered a question directed to him about the conference by confirming that this year's MS showing will be more game focused with "very few execs". Phil also mentions how they already have so much stuff that MS are having to move stuff out of their 90-minute slot during the show.

Phil's also been speaking a little bit more at GDC after his comments earlier in the week about ID@Xbox

On the recent trend in VR headsets in the wake of the Oculus Rift and Sony announcing their own Project Morpheus Eurogamer reports he said:

One of the things we have is this huge Microsoft research organisation that is important to us as platform holders in helping us think what might came next. That's where Kinect came from, it's where voice recognition came from, it's where Drivatar came from.

Looking at things like Oculus, Morpheus - they haven't sent me one yet, but maybe they will - when I think about VR and the uses of it in gaming, I think there's a real "there" there
