Xbox E3 2014: Watch the live stream here

In about one hour, Microsoft will begin its Xbox media briefing, which should offer a combination of in-depth looks at previously announced games, trailers for unannounced games coming in 2014 and beyond, and maybe even a surprise or two.

Last year's E3, of course, put a huge focus on the Xbox One hardware itself, and Microsoft had a challenging road leading up to launch as the company backtracked on its always-on policies to stay competitive with Sony. While PlayStation 4 has the momentum and installed base lead, it's early days and with Titanfall's success and the recent unbundling of the Kinect camera (yielding a cheaper entry point for consumers), Microsoft is hopeful to close the gap in the months ahead.

Here's the live stream of the conference which officially starts at 9:30 AM Pacific Time.
