Actually no one is saying MSFT was caught by surprise except for pro Sony media/blogs and PS3 fanboys.
MSFT forcing a company to prematurely reveal a console with concept stage services and features without showing hardware, when MSFT had a reveal countdown clock running a month before Sony's reveal is hardly something that has MSFT worried/crisis. It would be like MSFT being worried about forcing Nintendo to announce and launch Wii U first.
I don't t...
Developers are working on xbox 720 games.
@IRON
They're at the tipping point, it doesn't matter what is said anymore because they will still see what they want to see to vent all that nervous energy.
People here seem worried. Anger Is A Manifestation Of Fear! Anger Manifesting As Anxiety Is Common On N4G!. Children do this all the time often purposely masking what is wrong lashing out in other ways/things finding unrelated, often fic...
Nice post. Love the logic instead of the malice. You knew why it can't *vs* not wanting it to/hoping it can't/assuming it won't be able to.
Well you atleast made a great case why it would be an undesirable challenge for the devs thinking it's not worth it, and just not technical reasons either. It's going to take Nintendo a bit/while before they repair the damage done by their 1st party priority strategy. Building back up the fanbase that would be buying t...
You mean GS tried to push to you what was newly hot at the time?
I remember when GS started doing that as well. Has nothing to do with your xbox allegiance implication? And everything to with what was the hottest item at the time, bringing most the people in the shops. They did it with Wii up until the Xbox 360 became the dominant console in NA.
They pushed PS2 on people when it was boss even in the earily part of this generation.
LMAO at the...
They're after the up for grabs Wii fanbase. I don't think Nintendo will hold on to its Wii base next generation(in 2013 and beyond).
Also this was taken out of context. He was saying women gamers as a whole in the industry. No one said they're dropping support for men and hardcore gamers LMAO As if MSFT can't cater to more than one demographic at once. People attack MSFT for being able to do both so well and suddenly!, when no other company can, smearing and s...
That's like bashing cellphones and any other device these days, trying to convince to the masses its's stupid. Calling people lazy because they wan't one device doing more than one thing is stupid.
I like high value socailly connected universal entertainment devices
Don't like it don't buy it. Good luck buying something that isn't going in this direction LMAO
It's just hard to say if you and other really hate this mo...
April event was rumor. Major Nelson had a countdown timer clock put on the web on JAN 2 2013 counting down to E3.
@ziggurcat
Yeah but Root's comment can easily be turned on Sony and supporters. Funny how negative xbox 720 rumors happens to come out after Sony's vague details at GDC or details only showing Sony following MSFT's direction.
If this article isn't fake I don't know what is. LMAO a blog page with a few words in...
E3 is going to be epic.

Damage control article. MSFT told the world when the 720 might be coming on JAN 2 2013 with a countdown clock. You can Google it.
It's not a race when Sony preemptively came out revealing a console in the most incomplete desperate way in the history of gaming. Sony knew MSFT was coming out hitting hard so Sony did the reveal knowing MSFT would be coming out swinging.
Coming out revealing nothing but half finished ideas/services/features and no hardware is...
LOL media just now figuring this out?
I've said this the day MSFT launched the countdown clock back on JAN 2 2013. I mean come on, leaked 720 docs floating around then Sony suddenly reveals the PS4 in the most incomplete way in the history of gaming. Sony gathered what they had ready for the reveal and filled in the blanks with hyperbole(No hardware, boasting gaiki features but admitting it's no where near ready and they don't know how it will work)

I can see as games become this real one day will spark controversy in more mature game subject matters. They won't be seen as simply game characters but fictional characters in a film sense.
Most people wouldn't know that is CGI(video)
You know what Sony wanted people to hear tying to negate upcoming MSFT hype. You don't know what will be final specs in the PS4.
Those announced PS4 specs could be the *4D*, *1080p@120fps*, *10x more powerful than a super computer*, *launch games won't be possible on other platform their entire life span* of the PS3 smoke and mirrows pre console launch hype.
There is a reason Sony said the specs are not final because they are target specs, set high af...
"Question, did that go up before Sony's feb 20th announcement or after?"
http://www.businessinsider....
You really think a company revealing a console and not revealing/showing it was the leader in this?
Like I've said Sony had different specs for PS4 and caught wind of what MSFT was doing resulting in Sony being forced to come...
Must be killing Dice not being able to talk about the xbox 720. Can't wait to see how they're going to try and dethrone COD on Xbox..
That's got to be a blow to the O'L Japanese pride. Making Kevin Butler go on stage during the biggest gaming event ever and trash talk Kinect only to be forced to mimic Kinect every legal way possible a few years later. Sounds 5 years behind compared to what's coming.
Sony encouraged their fanboys to hate kinect and now Sony has to copy kinect to stay relevant with most of Sony's revenue coming from the very people Sony influenced.
Sony does k...

Why would a company venture into a full mutli platform strategy and only bring it to PC and PS4? Made deals and worked with MSFT for the last couple of years only to go exclusive again LMAO
Expectations can be met with the 720 as well. http://n4g.com/news/1217454... Purposely not heated up to get it through rotation as fast as possible unnotic...

" there's little to separate the PS3 and 360 releases from each other: textures and normal maps are a close match, although we find the level of filtering to be a little higher on the PS3, adding a touch more clarity in some places. Shadows are rendered in slightly higher resolution on the 360, while an...
I say there are things looks better on PS3 and other things the 360 looks better in. PS3 has sharper text on signs etc while the 360 has more environmental effects like shadows and texture, some effects detail is missing on the PS3 version. PS3 version seems to be missing some of the haze/smog /dust effects making it seem clearer in a still pic, when that wasn't intended by the devs. Not saying there are not things the PS3 version does better because sometimes it's sharper no matter t...
I told you about Xbox 720 hype being greater than PS4 and PS3 fans tracking and trolling.
@Zuperman...
"games, which PS4 has plenty of"
If that were true there wouldn't be story after story about an unannounced xbox 720 console. All the news stories would be about all those games you claim Sony revealed and how great Sony's offerings are, things like PS4's functions, features and services and you wouldn't be in here ...
