It's personal frustration of course.
I won't blame them if they gain the success they'll aim for with Kinect, but compared to the lineup within the first years, the plattform just offered nearly nothing for me in the end.

Whenever I see Mattrick I'll see the strategy shift that threw me off my favorite plattform.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it and hope they worked on their 1st party front and finally offer a decent diversity of genres.

Kinect isn't going to be a big focus for first and second year. Even when kinect ramps up, as long as the system is generating profit (substantial, hopefully) then Microsoft will continue investing big money into the portfolio. Xbox 360 did jump off a cliff in terms of 1st party offerings. They basically only made big AAA games and that was it. But do note how quickly every thing changed after RROD.

Cliff is gone, but the team is obviously still there.

It's been 2 years since Gears 3. So they've had plenty of time to be working on SOMETHING.

Microsoft probably has them locked up for a new IP, if I were to guess.

I hope it looks as good as their infiltrator demo...that looked superb

Epic are wizards, but you can't be 100% sure what they will do. If I were them, id be branching out... Have a big multi plat IP and a big exclusive. Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3 was such a big disaster- so they need to set their mark early

I will. I am hoping that Comcast listing is wrong and so is the spikes website is wrong too. The show after the show is usually pretty good, hope they have some good people to interview after the event and hopefully they can speak openly about the system.

If Geoff says its wrong, rest assured its wrong! It's a Spike stream, it isn't anything Comcast could mess with
 
I really hope The Witness lands on the next Xbox as well. It sounds like Microsoft big-leagued Jonathan Blow, not that he had an exclusive deal with Sony, so maybe we could see it come out for the next Xbox a few months down the road.

Honestly, as a console gamer, out of all of the games we know about for the PS4 that's exclusive, that's the one I want to play the most, by far.

MS will make over $1b profit in the EDD this year, I don't think we're gonna see the big losses we saw with 360 and I hope they're a bit more willing to splash the cash this gen because of it.

If its really powerful there will/should be losses, but no RROD this time around could balance that maybe.


I really, really hope they make XBL free.

As far as I know, it's an year timed exclusive.

I hope so. There have been some stuff on Spike that did not air as intended, so I hope the listing is wrong. It is just that the official website also shows the 1pm PST, so hope it is corrected.

I am pretty hyped for the show as I was for the PS4. I always been more of a Xbox guy.. I think the 80+ friends I have on Live and about 40 of them have been friends since the original Xbox Live on the original Xbox is why I tend to favor the Xbox because a lot of games I play that have On-line, I tend to have a great time with these friends.

I just want a great variety in software and I am still holding out hope for 1080p/60fps with good IQ...but not holding my breath though.
 
I hope we find out about Diablo 3 soon. I want to play it on a console, but I don't want to use a DS to play it. I will if I have to though.

lol @ Sony fans coming in to this thread and pointing out the "problem" with the Only on Xbox avatars.

They seem confused about why people would celebrate the brand instead of a suit. I love the Luigi hats on Nintendo fans' avatars. If it were Reggie, that would be mehhhh.

From the 6 months before 360 debuted to the moment it started profiting I have the EDD losing $3.3B, $1b of that was RROD, hopefully we won't see anything like that again.

360 is bringing is bank, so that'll offset losses, unlike 360 which was basically the only product in the division at the time.

So yeah, I'm confident losses won't even pass $1.5b, if that.

I believe Microsoft is aiming for positive margin from the get go. If they can turn xbox into a profit generating monster in its early years, the more focus there can be on software.

The days of selling at a loss are coming to an end.

Indeed. When 360 launched there was nothing propping the division up.

Next xbox has the luxury of 360 ect bringing in $1b profit a year. Obviously that'll dwindle going forward but it's still a huge amount.
 
As someone who was a bigger fan of the PS3 than the 360 this current gen, I really hope MS brings the heat next week and E3. I feel like having them on their A game will benefit everyone involved (the consumer mainly). I do feel that in order for Sony to stay sharp this next gen, they need strong competition from MS. I do hope MS bring better exclusives that are not shooters (Gears of War, Halo) and bring more XBLA titles that I can't just wait a few months and buy on PC or another console.

I feel that MS hasn't really provided lately any reason for those who are not heavily into MW or Halo. They also need to provide a free online service. It's getting to the point that alot of gamers are going to other sources for their online gaming or online services (Netflix, Hulu Plus,etc,.). It's still ridiculous that they charge you to use a service you already pay for with the internet you already paid for on a console you already paid for. In a world where you have SmartTVs, AppleTV, roku boxes and other consoles that allow you to do it for free, more people are leaving XBL behind because of that. I do have some faith that MS will step their game up but I hope they don't enter the fray with the same bravado that Sony did when announcing the PS3.
 
I wonder what MS will end the reveal with. I'm thinking its going to be something huge that they will continue at e3. Something like a tease for a huge game to be eventually unveiled at their e3 conference. That would be a great way to end it odd. For example, as Don walks off the stage at the reveal all you hear is a car's engine revving with the words see you at e3.
 
They're not going to make multiplayer free, they're going to try to make buying Gold more valuable and appeasing to the customer.

I actually wouldn't be all that surprised if Sony bundled multiplaye accessr with PS + on the PS4.

That would be cool, but they would have to show some video, perhaps a car hitting a tight turn and going down a straight-away with the words on a sign that says...see more at E3 or something like that.

Do people really thinks that MS will drop a paid service? And after Sony creating another one? lol.
Click to expand...

People usually write that "people are fed up with it and looking for alternatives already," but all I would point out is that games like Call of Duty, which is predominantly played online, are still selling the most on the 360.
 
I'm hoping killer instinct opens the conference

make a new stylized "intro" based off the KI arcade intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWsCfJf68hw

reveal the name of the console at the part where it says "Coming to your home in...2013 only on Microsoft Xbox Infinity"

after KI logo swirls in, make the rest like a trailer

sets a statement, gets the name out of the way, brings a huge old core favorite and makes me giggle for probably like 5 minutes afterwards

yesssss?

They'd just have to use that music and I'd be happy. Or Galaxy Bouce when announcing PGR5. That song is 100% PGR for me
