I was thinking the same thing. OXM just dropped one the best articles I've read on next gen speculation ever made.
Lots of nuggets in this thing. Some of which I had no idea was even being pondered.

Yeah..again Destiny is only rumored to be an Xbox console exclusive. Bungieis also to be hiring on the PS3 dev side of things.
The game is supposed to come next Fall, but who knows what will happen at this point.

We ALL know in June 2013, the new consoles will show up at E3 2013.
So let's go month for month and see WHEN the BIG exclusives and Multiplats come out to get a the true whole picture of what the gaming landscape will be prior to 2013.
First let's set up January for the now 7 year old 360..
On January first MS will have come off a holiday where the biggest exclusive of 2012, Halo 4 will be less than 2 months old and will still chart h...

'I think celebrities have their place in the grammys and the oscars most definitely. But in a video game award show.... No. That world is for true gamers.'
I get what your trying to say, but again you miss the point of award shows of any medium.
If you look at the Acadamy awards..This year you have Seth Macfarlane hosting. In the past you had Chris Rock, Ellen Degeneres, Jon Stewart, David Letterman.
Why d...
The VGA as a show is getting better and better. The people who hate the format arent necessarily the audience that Spike is trying to capture.
If people don't realize why it's important to have the celebs, the music guests, the fanfare, and the comedic entertainment then they missed the point.
When you look at movies and music for example, you have the Grammys and the Oscars as the pinultimate for those entertainment mediums.
But, the...
'Wow... I quit reading pretty early on. I'm not too interested in reading your term paper.'
Says the guy who just wrote the same term paper in response.
Nah..I KNOW you read it all, simply to find ANYTHING to respond to.
You can't find anything because I kept 100% real in exposing the silly hypocrisy on this site.
I won't bother quoting your term paper. It's simple you keep claiming I said MS only wo...
C'mon that wasnt the forum for an H3 announcement.let the team enjoy the moment.
I agree 100% that H2 was an absolutely amazing game. Literally the last major gaming campaign I played on PC.
I remember saying I wished this could come to console. Then we got blessed with Orange Box and my dreams came true.

LMAO @ Beatdown
Here is the bottomline.regarless of ANYONE's opinion back in June or now.
People literally pretended that MS somehow failed at E3, SIMPLY because they opened the show with Halo 4 and closed with Black ops 2.
I said it then and I say it now, MS set themselves up perfectly for the holiday, by showing off the TWO most anticipated games of the year on their stage. sony chose the same strategy and banked onthe Assassin's Cr...
The year after games like Bastion should have got a bigger stage, I think it's great that the VGAs voted Walking Dead at the top of the heap on the biggest stage in gaming outside of E3.
Phantom Pain was the clear game that is going to be the talk of the industry.

@ UP
First OFF you still keep FAILING to read..this is the ORIGINAL quote
'The big games EARLY on will be the two prequels..Gears for the 360 and God of War for the PS3.'
Secondly, I own all 3 consoles, and I'm talking about the Two of the Biggest exclusives in the FIRST HALF from BOTH consoles. This isn't the exclusives list war that you keep trying to play.
Every one knows Last of Us is the biggest game for ...
LMAO @ the fankiddies with spam accounts getting all riled up for absolutely nothing.
First off NO ONE is bashing the 360, PS3, or the Wii-U..so put the pitchforks down.
'It's nice that you think Microsoft's sales success is what "actually matters", but most of us are probably more interested in what E3 showings mean for us when we sit down in front of our consoles, not what it means for Microsoft's quarterly results.'
...
It's hilarious how the headlines were how MS lost E3, in June. But come November the headlines that actually matter are the ones like this one prove what really mattered at E3.
MS never needed a new system last holiday and they clearly didn't need one in it's 7th year. People thought bthe MS had to do a price drop because of the dry summer, but like I kept saying all they needed was the inevitable yearaly Kinect price drop and let the bundles do the rest of the ma...
I think they got it right in terms of how many years they have gone this gen with the 360.
But if they wait another year, I would definately agree with you on the milking thing
Evil
I've been saying it since E3, MS set the 360 up for a potential great holiday season.
They didn't break records this year, as you had the Wii-U launch and the PS3 is still going to have it's success as well, but when you launched 7 years ago it is definately huge that you remain on top in your biggest region.
After E3 they bashed Micrsoft for leading with Halo 4 and finishing with Black Ops 2.
Fast forward and they are thanking t...
Lost Odyssey is a hands down classic. It's a shame that the gen is winding down and we never got another RPG in it's old console school veins that matched LO in terms of scale.

@ Godmars
'The only real reason its especially memorable is that it was on the Xbox when the brand actively ignored JRPGs the gen before and 360 gamers who played it are clinging to *ANYTHING* from it to needlessly justify it.'
LMAO @ You clearly clinging to *Anything* to bash the game simply BECAUSE it is on the Xbox 360.
I finished the game YEARS ago and unlike YOU, it was clear from the start the L.O. was FAR more mature than game...
The irony of the article title...

The first two words you wrote describes EVERY hypocritic word you just wrote.
See only a fankiddie like yourself who cant take off the goggles (because they don't come off) would even read what I wrote and reply with that psychotic nonsense.

'Because generally speaking the 360 demographic only cares about COD and sports games'
Not even close to the truth...
The top 3 selling games on the PS3 are ALL Call of Duty games and Fifa sold more units on the PS3 than any sports game on the 360.
Does that mean the PS3 demographic ONLY cares about COD and sports games?
On the real topic..
First of all, let's all stop pretending that the Gears of...
