Mixer is Microsoft's interactive livestreaming platform that's available on Xbox One.(​IMG) The source code still says this however: Code:
<tr> <td data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Microsoft Corporation&quot;}">Mixer</td> <td data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;www.xbox.com&quot;}"><a class="in-cell-link" href="http://www.mixer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.mixer.com</a></td> </tr>
Source: https://www.e3expo.com/participating-companies This is also reflected in a separate list of participating companies, available via the E3 2018 Exhibitor Directory by Map Your Show available at https://mp1630k065.mapyourshow.com. The list was retrieved today, March 10, 2018. While the link to the exhibitor list isn't directly shown on the front page, I compared exhibitor directories for some other shows (mainly CES 2018) and tried the following: Code:

This led to the exhibitor list being downloaded. Here in image form:(​IMG)(​IMG)(​IMG)(​IMG) Additionally, this exhibitor list shows that Microsoft, now Mixer, has changed booth from 823 to 1023 in South Hall, more than doubling its floor space. Here's a small comparison image:(​IMG) More information on this subject may be made available during the premiere episode of Inside Xbox, airing March 10, 12:00 PM PST.Source: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/03/05/announcing-inside-xbox-premiering-march-10th/

Well that's a joke. It doesn't make any sense outside of an exec thinking this'd be a good way to push Mixer.

Like Mixer up till this point has been 100% like Twitch. Would be reasonable to give it floor space, but it has nothing to do with new xbox games.

Maybe they have no games so are focusing on Mixer instead?  :o
