Microsoft had this type of presentation with the Xbox 360. But with Don Mattrick running the show (rumor he's leaving MS) I doubt we will see this type of presentation. It will probably go something like this; Don wants Kinect, Don wants DRM, Don wants profit per console sold, if you question Don off to the call center you go.
@Godmars290
I agree with Godmars290, his track record does not look good considering the big picture. What Peter Moore does well is public speaking, this guy like Reggie can impulse a crowd like there's no tomorrow.
But like V1c1ous was saying Peter Moore bent over backwards for the Japanese market, I never seen or played some many quality JRPGs in the first 2 years of the console life since the SNES days. Ultimately his efforts was a waste of time beca...
Agree, typical Execs fashion, screw up the brand with their own vision and coward away to another company to start over. He should have never been allowed to run MS game division given his disrespect to consumer while at EA.
Looks good, probably will buy when available.
I was never a fan of the DS controllers, analog stick placement is horrible for FPS games. I think the X360 is the best controller I've played. With that said I'm not a fan of the XB1 controller design or the PS4 DS4, but time will tell when I hold both for the first time.
I do wonder how the Japanese are going to respond to the DS4 since they complained about Xbox (original)controller size. But yet the Japanese love the Wii U tablet/controller which is the largest co...

I've posted the Wii U lineup in the past for August, just didn't think Pikmin was worth mentioning. I will admit I've never played or had the inclination to play Pikmin, not even on my Gamecube.
With that said Pikmin looks and has always looked way too soft or casual for my taste. From what I've seen is Pikmin really any different than what Disney offers? Pikmin is a colorful kid game which fine if that's thing, I say mor...
@ziratul
Really? You don't say? Of course I know game development can take anywhere from 12-24 months or more depending on scope, quality, budget, and team size. The E3 comment is not an release date, companies do showcase their titles sometimes a year or more before they are actually released.
Yeah Disney has allot of games planned for the Wii U in August if your into those type of games. I guess Splinter Cell Black is planned for August 20th but I doubt people will be lining up outside the door to buy an Wii U and Splinter Cell Black.
On the positive note, Mr. Satoru Iwata finally realize he needs to diversify Nintendo's software portfolio. Read reports he's growing the team and looking into new IPs to develop, so next E3 might be interesting if Satoru Iw...
Agree, the graphics look damn nice but the more videos I watch the less I'm incline to purchase B2S at the end of my PS3s life. I thought Heavy Rain was ok but boring at times, if this plays the same way which looks like it does then count me out. Besides my PS4 is on pre-order, I thought I would have time to invest in B2S with my schedule and a new system coming out.
My bad, 3. should be PC Engine and PCFX. The PC Engine Duo is not bad looking after checking my links. Here's the one I meant to be number 3: http://www.pcenginefx.com/P...
Ah the disagrees, well I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think my ugliest consoles are spot on with Atari consoles taking the top spot followed by Apple Pippin and the Commodore 64.
NES and Xbox are just one giant box, Sega Masters system looks like a ugly slim DVD player. Phillips CDI is plain,the SNES-Super Famicom, and Virtual Boy both look like robot heads from the movie Short Circuit.
Unhonorable mentions, the first Sega CD addon looked bad...
My top 10 best looking consoles:
1. Xbox 360 slim
2. Sega Genesis
3. N64
4. NEO GEO
5. PS3 Fat
6. Panasonic 3DO F-10
7. Nintendo Wii
8. Sega Dreamcast
9. Nintendo Wii U
10. Xbox One
Honorable Mention: PS2, Sega Saturn, Gamecube, Sony PSX, Sega 32X
Ugliest consoles
1. All Atari consoles
2. Apple's Pippin
3. NEC PC Engine Duo
4. Commodore 64
Microsoft is pulling an Nintendo, wait several years to release new hardware, not be forthcoming about the specs, and overcharge for hardware a little more advance than the current. Well atleast it has 8GBs, 2GBs would have been too low if Microsoft want their system to stay on the shelves for a decade.
I think next gen biggest issue is the CPUs. Those Jaguar cores seem pretty weak based on the PC benchmarks I've seen. MS and Sony would have been better off increasing th...
Last of us is a damn good game but its no 9-10. I have not beat this game yet but so far I would say 8-8.5. I still like Uncharted 2 the best out of Naughty Dog's PS3 games.
Uncharted 2 also has the best graphics, The last of Us is kinda overrated. The in game character models look great with object motion blur, animation, hair, facial expression, and phenomenal lighting. But ounce you get the lighting and character models you are treated to low res blurry textures, dista...
Getting it tomorrow, but this guy is Japanese, this is how they review American products. Hell most of Sony hard hitting first party games are American made. Most Sony published American or European made games sell less than 600K in the land of the rising sun. So I'm not surprised with this review at all.
Satoru Iwata finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel. This also good PR to separate himself from the arrogant Don Mattrick, two people I always placed in the same boat.
Now for love of God Nintendo release some new IPs. Take a chance every ounce in awhile Nintendo, get bold and edgy, like you guys did when the Gamecube first came out with RE exclusive, Eternal Darkness, Star Wars games. Can't have a new Mario game of some sorts every freakin year, people get tire...
Both consoles are pretty ugly by todays standard. I actually prefer the Xbox 1 deign over the PS4 but not by much. The PS4 design is more useful because the console can stand vertical which works better for most home theater setup. I hate to admit it but Wii U actually has the best design regarding next gen consoles but the worst controller design. Between the Xbox1 and PS4 controllers I would give the nod to the PS4 design, it might be an different story when I actually play both them.
Agree, Microsoft needs to replace Don Mattrick and promote Phill Harris to their PR guy. Don comes off as greasy, slimy, arrogant jerk who thinks his sh!t don't stink. If you're selling something weaker and at an higher price than your competitors, people are less likely to buy your products if they feel like they are being talked down to by the salesmen.
Don is a salesmen who acts like his product is too good for the consumer. Sorry Don but you are not going to get ...
LOL! This is the same guy who said Mark Kart will be called Mario Kart 8 since the last game was Mario Kart 7 on his Nintendo Direct release.
Muramasa is one of those games I wish would appear on PSN or Xbox live. It wouldn't hurt if the developers did an HD remake to really make the art work shine.
