Didn't you know...today is Microsoft and Sony Doom & Gloom News Day. :/lol
Yeah, I didn't really get that part either. The only game they released/published on mobile platforms was GTA: San Andreas on Windows Phone, iOS and Android.
Unless that was the top selling portable game of the year, cause most publishers classify a mobile phone game as handheld.
@gokuking, Yeah that's true. Yeah I don't know where they get the handheld part from then. I guess they meant out of all publishers in the North American and Latin ma...
I believe that is called having the "Grand Theft Auto" effect :D
Congrats to Take-Two, 2K Games and Rockstar for an amazing year!
Well, to be fair to the rest of the Xbox employees at Microsoft, it does take an entire team of dedicated people to change the status-quo and make better, more informed decisions moving forward.
But it also starts with excellent leadership and having a clear-focused strategy, and I think that's exactly what Phil Spencer brings to the Xbox team.
They will probably retail it for about $119.99-$129.99 and include Kinect Sports Rivals (Or possibly Harmonix's Fantasia Kinect game, since Microsoft kind of gave them a low blow with the Kinect-less Xbox One announcement).

I can only imagine what the crowd reaction once this game gets re-announced and played live on stage. E3 right around the corner everybody...
Oh yeah I know, I completely agree with your comment. That's why E3 this year will be very interesting, especially for Microsoft now that they have announced this Kinect-less bundle and, as of right now, they have a price advantage in my country, but your absolutely right...they need some kind of momentum to keep competitive with PS4.
Too bad E3 is still 27 Days away :(..lol
That was my vote. Agent! :/
But then I re-read the title and it said "Unannounced Next-gen Project", and technically speaking, Agent is an "Announced Delayed Current/Next Gen Project", so I dunno...
But more than likely, a PS4/XboxOne/PC re-release of GTA5
I'm not so worried with Sony providing great exclusive games for PS4, they always do well in creating exclusives and new IP's on all their platforms.
I'm just worried how long are they going to keep the "Canadian's weaker dollar" excuse as a means to keep the price hike at $449, when Microsoft didn't even hesitate to just sell the Kinect-less Xbox One for $399. I'd like to see Sony respond by: "Effective immediately, PlayStation 4 will...
They sure did. They imploded first...then exploded...then impulse-grenade exploded...then decided to come back online once the day had ended. :D
Finally N4G is back online! :D
OT: Well if by U.S., they are including the other two North American markets Canada and Mexico, then I can possibly see Xbox One overtaking PS4, but it'll take some time and some huge effort on Phil Spencer's and Xbox Co. to not screw anything more up and just provide amazing games and Xbox Live.
Also, don't forget...Here in my country of Canada. PlayStation 4 is still $449.99 and Xbox One is now $399.99...odd th...
I completely agree, I seem to be the only one who thinks Microsoft did a lot of great things today to boost the Xbox One and it's Live services, and can't wait to buy me an Xbox One on June 9th (Day after my Birthday and Day One of E3 :D)
And it's not like they are dropping Kinect completely. There will still be a $499 retail SKU with Kinect + Game..And they will still be selling Kinect separately for those who buy the new model, but may want Kinect down the road....
Is E3 2014 happening this week??? Holy cow, just absolutely crazy news from everybody today...
OT: Yes and No. It's the end of Kinect as an integral part of the Xbox One and it's probably the end of developer support for Kinect-Only games. However, Developers can still integrate Kinect-enabled voice commands and gesture recognition in their games (Same way Sony developers are utilizing the touchpad on the dualshock for certain games) and also Kinect was built into the...
Well then...If this does turn out to be true, it's about time is all I can say.
C'mon Phil Spencer, you can do it!
OMG!! I can only imagine playing an open-world FPS Jurassic Park game that looks like this :D I'm so tired of zombie games and zombie modes, I want Dinosaurs Now!...lol
But, you'd think with Jurassic World coming out in theatres next year, that more games will include a Dinosaur mode.
It'll sure be different at the Sony Conference this year, not seeing Jack Tretton walk out onto that stage, "drop the mic" and and bring joy to the crowd :(...Hopefully this Shawn Layden guy can have the same impact as Tretton did.
On the opposite side of Sony, I'm really excited to see Phil Spencer doing his first e3 being in charge of Xbox now. If you thought last years E3 was blown out with games, which he was responsible for, then this years E3 should b...

Well...That's kind of rude and very un-Canadian like. I think you've been living in England too long. xD
Your Disqualified!!! lol :D
