Well the countdown on major nelson's website that was covered all over the gaming media including n4g back on January 2nd 2013 that's counting down to E3 is the first time MS has ever done a countdown so it was pretty much expected that MS would reveal the next xbox at E3.

You have to remember 2 things.
1) MS has money and a lot of it. MS could simply be willing to take a greater hit off of each unit sold to compete price wise with the PS4.
2) MS have been testing out the 360 subsidized method where you pay $99 for new 360 with a 2 year XBL gold membership contract.
So I really don't think MS is going to force consumers to pay tooth and nail for their next system. Those who can afford the price will buy i...
The controller looks very sleek and sexy. It's an amazing design however so long as the analog sticks are parallel rather then being offset, it will never be my go to controller. I wish Sony would allow for the controller to be interchangeable so that I could move the left analog stick to the d-pad and the d-pad down to the left analog stick position. It's been done with 3rd party controllers for the PS3, I don't understand why Sony wouldn't do that for their 1st party cont...
LMFAO all of a sudden Kinect is cool...just as long as it says PS4 EYE on the box.
I love the hypocrisy on this site.
The PS EYE sure does look similar to Kinect......
Oh no. An MS developer said something. better start attacking him, MS and the whole gaming library by making completely irrelevant comments that has nothing to do with the article.
LMFAO like a game being exclusive or not has ANYTHING to do with narrative.
I agree with Richard that the narration of Far Cry 3 failed. It was a great game and I enjoyed most aspects of it, but i never gave any thought to the narrative as to me it just wasn't memorable. I ...
@ Hanso
How was LAIR 2?
How was Haze 2?
See, in order to play those games developers have to be in business to make them. In order for Developers to be in business, they need money. In order to have money, they have to sell a product in order to get money.
So, if a companies product doesn't sell enough to continue to make a profit, then the company no longer has money to make new products. If a company can't make new product...
Of course Sony knew back in 2007. You don't think their own devs would have advised Sony of the complications of developing on?
Obviously Sony knew since they ditched the CELL and the PS3 architecture with the PS4.
You would have to be a complete moronic idiot if you don't think Sony knows their own product and what their own devs would have told them.
"The second issue this generation was when the Xbox live got hacked. There were reports stating that accounts had been compromised with many users describing that they had never given out there information. The exact amount of users being compromised was never determined but numerous reports indicated that there was sufficient gamers facing the problem. The problem was not Microsoft's alone as many companies to date have been hit hard."
Accounts were not "h...
@ DK286K
You are 100% absolutely correct. Naturally the younger kids on this site won't understand you rational of consumer purchasing behaviors even though they live it each and every single day.
The 1 year head start has NOTHING to do with the difference of 360 sales at launch. It has everything to do with the price point. You can also look at the vita and why it's not selling due to consumers perception of worth. Consumers feel the price of the...
LMFAO saying Sony's presentation was excellent.
No console shown
Lack luster 1st party announcements for games nobody cares about
Gaikai confirmed not to be ready at launch and still unsure of how it will be implemented
Possible over promising on hardware like the PS2 and PS3
1/2 the show was talking about past achievements
The ONLY good think about the conference was Sony admitting the PS3 was a poorly designed console.
@ Good_Guy_Jamal
Actually, Sony lost money in Q3 (holiday season) and only made 6 million in the gaming division during Q3.
Imagine that.
Both shooters.
Yet the Sony crowd on this site would have you believe that it's the 360 which is the shooter box. Meanwhile Sony customers are asking for shooters when they already have more shooters then MS does as well as have shooters sell more on the PS3 then any other genre.
You forgot a couple other big name franchises that have a longer history of being "milked".
Suddenly MS's 2 franchises that are considered "milked" don't hold a candle to Sony's much longer history of MORE games being even more "milked"
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs
SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs
SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault

I saw on the news (CP24 News) yesterday that Gears Judgement has sold 2 million copies in the US alone so far. If you notice, the headline says "PAL" regions.
However it still came in #1 on the charts if you actually read the article and says that it sold about a quarter of what it's predecessors sold in their first week.
In Europe alone Gears 3 sold 700,000 units. 1/4 of that is 175,000. I would like to know how the writer of the article kno...
@ cgoodno
Yet their gaming division is not making a profit.
Their latest Q3 report (which is during the holiday season) showed them ONLY making $6 million while Nintendo made $450 million and MS made $550 million for the same Q3.
Sony has NOT been praised to high heavens. They consistently are losing money in all departments which is why Sony has seen a complete overhaul in the last 5 years of the company as a whole. Even to the point of no...
So now games should be reviewed on their frequency over their gameplay and what is being offered?
LMFAO
Sony fanboys always manage to come up with new excuses to avoid accepting the truth.
2nd behind MS you mean.
The PS3 is still currently in 3rd place. Unless you are referring to a 3rd parties own admittance (IDC) that their calculations are only "estimates" and that they are NOT Sony's own numbers....also since when does "shipped" trump Sold at retail?
Are Sony fanboys still trying to believe shipped numbers hold any relevance?
Sony's PS3 has had more price drops then the 360 as well. Let's ...
@ jXales
"However we are not aware of what deal was cut with Microsoft."
I believe you are right. I believe MS cut a deal with EA that MS could have Porsche once again in it's Forza IP's in exchange for Mas Effect 1. MS getting Porsche happened right around the same time as the announcement of a ME trilogy bundle.
