Around noon today, 1UP sat down with Shane Kim, corporate VP at Microsoft Game Studios to chat about his company's presence at this year's E3 and press him on what Microsoft's planning going forward. A number of people have asked Microsoft for a response to the PlayStation 3 price drop -- but, more importantly, when is Microsoft planning the same thing? Kim doesn't spell out a price drop in 2007, but he said this holiday is very important for Xbox 360 to win, and the company needs to move toward a mass-market price; Kim admits $300 and $350 aren't mass-market. Sounds like it's coming soon.

Ecco the Dolphin is returning, with original creators confirming multiple new games and related projects now in development.
Loved Ecco on Megadrive/Genesis. Diving out of the water was always a fun feeling, and the whole 'vibe' while playing/exploring was pretty chill and special.
Always hoped we'd get a proper 3D sequel with modern-tech water-graphics and physics. (Same wish for Wave Racer btw).
It was pretty chill until you get to the last 2 or 3 levels. My god Welcome to the Machine was brutal.
You can always play an emulated Ecco: Defender of the Future on Flycast, or if you have a real Dreamcast play it there.
This makes me smile. I hope that the game and especially the soundtrack keep the same relaxed vibe.
That is amazing news. Keep it level based or metroidvania but dont go the roguelike route and it should be good.
That brings me back. I know I have a couple copies on Sega consoles but they’re in a box somewhere.
I may check out a new game if done well
Pricing your game between $20 and $40 could be a key part of attracting player interest.
the 3fixme is nothing but an overpriced Wii without the wand.
Give me a date.
it will put 360s starting price ar $199 making it cheaper than the Wii.
I think this is what they will do sometime this year. The PS2 sold 75% of it's units at that price. I expect it could be the same for 360.
History has shown that price is an important driving factor. Just look at the Wii and DS. Once 360 reaches this $199 pricepoint is when it will really take off.
Why give a date when people would wait.
#1 I don't visit Wii threads because i not intrested in it so why are you in here giving you pointless opinion no one gives a flying fuc what your PS-fee fanboy ass thinks.
I wonder is all this PS3 price cut mix up has somthing to do with Sony fearing MS price cut. MS could wipe out the PS3 they need to cut the price i'm thinking Xmas despite what they say Halo 3/GTA/Price-cut.
get the hardware right as recall will be next on the list never mind price drop
1 billion will look small if a recall comes there way the consumer heres the storys now they no the facts,mud sticks as they say so xbox360 has to be right or its more bad press and you can,t even give them away then.
