What an arrogant little man who thinks he's qualified to run Microsoft. Most likely he could not even get into an Ivy Legue.
If it's even that. It would make a terrible movie, and that's why no respectable Hollywood talent would touch it (i.e., as in actually getting involved in the making of the film.)
As for the Peter Jackson deal: Peter Jackson is NOT and will NOT be actually involved in the making of Halo movie. Let me tell you a little bit about how the Hollywood system works: Microsoft PAID Peter Jackson a huge sum of money to get permission to use Jackson's name as the "executive produce...
just like Oblivion, Bioshock, and Fallout 3.
PC still beats any console.
Do you know how most consumers make their purchase? On impulse when they see the price is cheap. You know how people go to sales. They buy things they have not intended to buy because those things are cheap. That's how impulse buys work, and it often works for consoles as well.
The typical console customer has no idea about the Three Red Rings of Death of Cell or RSX or 60GB or 80GB or whatever. The customer wanders into a store like Wal-mart or Target. He walks by a HD screen ...
are like Fox News for Sony.
When Cinemablend features a Xbox 360 games, the real reason is because that game is deficient in some way, i.e., usually the game is still in beta or has sub-par graphics, so Cinemablend can use the game to show how horrible 360 graphic is. That's Cinemablend's real intention.
It's a video GAME console.
The title is horrible. Legendary.... THE BOX!?!?!
and the combat system is still a work-in-progress.
I actually didn't care much for this game after having watched all the old trailers and demos. I thought it was a Prince of Persia clone.
However, after watching this latest E3 demo, I've become much more interested in this game. Now it's on my watch list.
Last fiscal year, Microsoft made over 40 billions and paid out 33 billions in dividends. So 1 billion is really just pocket change for Microsoft.
So far this year, before the warranty extension announcement, Microsoft's entertainment and gaming division has actually turned a profit for the first time: about 900 millions. That's why Microsoft decided to wait until July to make the announcement and lose 1 billions. It's the timing. So you work around with the math a bit, Micros...
Everything I've been reading is about how the demo proved that the quality of Assassin's Creed has been compromised because it went multi-platform (i.e., to 360,) or how the Assassin's Creed buggy demo has something to do with 360 one way or another.
and I was actually impressed.
It's really the Sony fanboys (like Adamalicious) who are the naysayers and saying negative things about this game simply because it's on Xbox 360.
You look at all the criticism of this game, and it always comes back to: "it's back because it's also on Xbox 360." You look at people who criticize this game and check their history, and they always turn out to fit a particular profile very obviously.
is a conspiracy.

Peter Jackson is NOT and will NOT be actually involved in the making of Halo movie. Let me tell you how the system works: Microsoft paid Peter Jackson a huge sum of money to get permission to use Jackson's name as the "executive producer" for the Halo movie. Beyond that, Jackson has absolutely nothing to do with the Halo movie. It's called "attaching a project with a name". Except Microsoft is doing it the wrong way: you attach a name to get funding. You don't attach ...
I understand CEOs and high-level execs usually have big egos, and therefore they should be running business in offices and meetings and NOT speaking to the public. There's a reason we have never heard any Hollywood studio CEO or exec speak. Hollywood knows what good PR is and keeps the big wigs and their egos out of the public interviews and limelight.
Sony needs to hire professional PR guys for this sort of things, for goodness sake.

I think a lot of PS3 fanboys underestimate the importance of Bioware and Mass Effect in the grand scheme of this console war. If Sony can take Mass Effect away from Xbox 360, then Sony wins this battle. Otherwise, Xbox 360 stays.
Oh, and Sony fanboys were speculating that Bioware would announce a PS3 exclusive at E3... that did not happen!
Actually, the only two PS3 games I want from PS3 are Lair and BigLittlePlanet. Of course, they are Sony's first and second-party games.
I'm not that keen on Killzone 2, really. There are already way too many FPS, really good FPS. Xbox 360 has more than enough FPS (Halo 3, Bioshock) to keep me satisfied. I really don't need any more FPS.
But the one game I'm dying to play and want the most is Mass Effect, and it's exclusively on Xbox 360. I wouldn't trade Mass ...
but unfortunately, Sony execs continued to talk after the conference. They should have stopped opening their mouths while they were ahead.
Both are overhyped.
