Mattrick is talking again? Hasn't he learned yet?
How many people would have preferred a cheaper X1 w/o Kinect? How many people value the Kinect as part of what they are paying for?

Looks like we won't have to wait long.
Only 79%? What's wrong with these people???
I'm so happy COD isn't on that list...
I don't want anything to change their mind. I want Microsoft to be stubborn. I want a generation of two different arguments represented in consoles. And I hope everyone sees how the argument will turn out.
In other words --- this is great stuff!

Sony would indeed have to go bankrupt...there's no way they are going to let this momentum go. But let's pretend:
Only way Microsoft and the X1 can recover:
1. Truly convince the masses that their strict policies are beneficial to all. They need to hire better publicists and tell Mattrick to shush forever.
2.*Something* must be cheaper on the X1 than on PS4. Although this is not Microsoft's strategy, perhaps the price ofnew games...
I used to think that nobody is into all of this debate except nerds like us, but if you look at the pre-orders, obviously the masses are in the know right now.

P.S. The pre-orders indicate that Microsoft is about to lose their dominance in North America and UK. That's more than just internet nerds using their wallet and intelligence.
I destroyed this game...loved it and beat it completely.
People try to say that we shouldn't pay attention to sales. You know, "Real gamers don't care about sales". However, sales help a lot with getting developer support. A *lot*.

Uncharted 1 would look fine.
Best E3 in Sony's history?
It's amazing how basic customer service still works even when we're talking billions of dollars.
What a reverse from last gen, when Gamestop employees were trying to shove 360 down my throat.
US and UK were also the only places where 360 was ahead of PS3 last gen.
"Competitive pressures" indeed..., but Sony is about to take those territories back.

Nah, that would be how CD Projekt gets sued.
Would be funny, though.
Really looking forward to this one!
And I wish to see another Patapon...
This really isn't surprising, based on what both sides have to offer.
What *is* surprising is that Microsoft is going to lose their dominance over North America (and England). Having the American market is always what kept them going last gen...that will be no more...
...and be $100 more expensive...
...and have restricting DRM that makes you feel as if you don't own your own games...
...and be 50%-66% less powerful t...
Good. The PS4 needs to come out by November.
The 360 isn't even the best selling console *this* gen, with FAR less problems than the X1.
"Grow up and stop whining about the price" = "Buy a PS4" for most people, and the pre-orders confirm this.
