Sorry MS you were too slow, not sure running off and crying to your mom will help.

Doesn't it occur to you that many people may want everything they need in one bundle? That would be what your average casual would be looking for.

An external hard drive would be no bother for those in the know. It's the others that could get confused and annoyed at more expense.

"Hes sick of mario? ( He praises god of war which also is on its 7thy entry and halo 4 which is on its 5 or 6 entry) 50 million people dont agree with him......"

I think when Master Chief and Kratos have featured in over 200 titles I could take your comment seriously.

Just wow! Commenting on a rumour is now considered fanboyism is it. So, those people who genuinely think that Nintendo may be making some strange decisions have to keep quiet now? Have you thought that some of them might be Nintendo fans that are starting to feel let down?

I'd like to think that Nintendo can't be that backward and not release a version with a HDD. External drives are all handy but not everyone will want to lay out another ...

I can easily see Nintendo struggling to dominate this time around.

Firstly the casuals are going to look at what's on offer, be it Nintendo land, Mario or Luigi and get no sense of change or improvement except for a tablet controller. If Microsoft market SmartGlass well enough then the whole tablet controller will not be as effective a selling point that Nintendo want.

The serious gamer is going to be cautious, especially with Sony and Microsoft making n...

When networks speeds, reliability and prices are no longer a concern to be debated, then maybe.

As it stands would you rely on your internet for every single gaming experience? Because I certainly wouldn't.

What a perfect demonstration of wasting an opportunity.

Do you think all that money goes back into making games? No, for the modern publisher it's all about value for the shareholder, not the customer.

Businesses all over the world tick over quite happily without making bucket loads of money, yet you've jumped into the usual trap of thinking that's the be all and end all of business.
What happened to the old days when games were made for the love of it instead of keeping a faceless, ...

Congratulations DICE, you've now joined an ever growing list of game industry a-holes.

Didn't expect much but that was pretty funny.

Guy sounds like a right idiot, I would assume that if something face meltingly awesome was announced at E3, this joker would still be disappointed.

Good read, couldn't bring myself to click the link though.

The Daily Mail, still holding up it's reputation as an irresponsible and sensationalist rag I see.

Why would Sony need to share the PS Eye, it's an inexpensive camera with a microphone array?

If you are going to go nuts at least have a decent argument.

Cajun Chicken is correct, it was on the BBC news. The Kinect camera is just below the right hand screen in the picture.

I'd just like to add though that I disagree with using Kinect as there are far cheaper alternatives, considering the state of funding with the NHS.

Funny!........Wii has 18 games featuring Mario.

Just saying.

I'm perfectly aware of that, but 47% still seems a little dubious when you consider everything both their competitors have achieved with multiple consoles, services, peripherals and software.

47% ?????? Somebody needs to go back to school. I know marketing execs. can be economical with the truth, but this is laughable.

@TechGear

Not everybody is a slave to CoD, besides, with a brand new release every twelve months a HD remake would be a waste of time.

I understand your concern. From my understanding you'll be signed up to a 24 month contract similar to phone contracts, when that's expired the console is yours.
