[Silky]

WHAAAAAAA?

 

[God Dayumm]

2000 page thread(s) incoming!!

Next, Wii U without the GamePad

 

[Tagyhag]

Well this is sudden... Im looking forward to this announcement if true. Although this would go against the whole "Now devs have a great reason to provide a compelling Kinect experience!"

 

[FullMetaltech]

aw now thats crazy after all the talk that they werent going to. ill get one i that the true.

 

[Goldenroad]

Why not at E3?

Because, this is kind of admitting defeat and you don't really want to do that while on your biggest public platform of the year.

Though I'm not convinced this is true...yet...

 

[Sid]

Price parity with PS4 cometh.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Phil Spencer your are THE MAN!!

 

[HaRyu]

Eh?!?

Ok, this is going be repeated many, many times in this thread, but this is the sort of announcement that they should make at E3.

 

[Copenap]

Yeah, no. Not gonna happen, just makes no sense whatsoever this shortly before E3.

 

[FrankT]

Ahhhhh yisssssss.

 

[fasTRapid]

Wut?

 

[Alpha_eX]

Downgraded to a peripheral, such a shame.

 

[Yaoibot]

The date is shocking, not so much the decision. April's forcast must be horrific.

 

[Syf]

Will be interesting to see how much they drop the price if true. I'm interested, anyway. Kinect is something I'd never use.

 

[bidguy]

hehe might have to sell mine to a poor soul then

 

[Nyoro SF]

And people said it would never happen.

 

[Griss]

The move obvious move in the history of obvious moves.

I could now consider buying one. With Kinect in the box there was no way I ever would.

 

[InsaneLuchador]

Funky butt lovin'!!!!! Come on Microsoft, you almost have me....

 

[IntelliHeath]

If it's true then I'm shocked that they didn't save the announcement for E3.

Is the source reliable?

 

[Bundy]

Yeah, no. Not gonna happen, just makes no sense whatsoever this shortly before E3.

Seems like it will happen, dude

 

[Ricerocket]

Weird, this is like a big announcement thing for E3.

If this is true, lol. I mean most of the games coming out aren't even using it or barely are and it's used just as shortcut commands for the OS mainly.

Good decision by MS.

 

[L~A]

Aren't we at 1080° now? How many 180° have they done now?

Pretty good news, that should help them remain competitive (price-wise, at the very least).

 

[sajj316]

woa .. this is MUCH welcome! If priced right .. I might just pick up one. No decouple XBL from Netflix and other like services and we have a deal.

 

[GoxRx]

WHAT

 

[Diddy Kong]

holy shit

 

[travisbickle]

Ntkrnl strikes again!

Just got one for $120 off so I'm good anyways but this is good news for others if true.

Didn't he say disc-less?

 

[Graphics Horse]

:O

 

[TheSpoiler]

aw now thats crazy after all the talk that they werent going to. ill get one i that the true.

It was crazy talk to them until they saw those sales numbers.

They are gonna have to hit that 350 to make this worthwhile tho.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

Kinect is dead

 

[Ade]

Meh.

I like mine.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

someone summon cboat

 

[Tourmeta]

Awesome if true

 

[gweemz]

$399 to compete with PS4? Might pick one up for that.

 

[Xater]

Well I guess most people expected it but I did not expect it to happen before E3.

 

[Sendou]

Interest rising. This and compelling exclusives. I have to give this machine serious consideration after I've seen what they have for E3.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

ntkrnl was legit.

Will buy for sure!

 

[Marvel]

It was bound to happen but before E3 is the real shocker here folks.

 

[Hexa]

No way. That would mean MS is throwing their long-term vision over board. This is not happening

Their long term vision had little to no support. They need a new long term vision, and so far they seem to be going in a great direction.

 

[PhatSaqs]

NPD must be horrrrrid this month lol.

 

[darkwing]

by how much will it reduce the price ?

I'd say $100

 

[Freki]

Based cBoat...

 

[Jb]

 

[Rosur]

Not at E3 what...

also be 1TB version

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Is it happening?

 

[Poker Face]

Not sure if I believe.

 

[fantomena]

Im in if priced right.

 

[Leflus]

Phil Spencer your are THE MAN!!

[March of the Crabs]

Time to buy!

 

[The Inventor]

Well, many people wanted it to be true someday, but I wasn't expecting it at all...!
