I know we have ideas about the levels Microsoft goes through to keep leaks from happening...but I have to say, I'm VERY impressed we are less than 24hrs out and there is NOTHING out there.....amazing. Much respect to everyone involved as well as media/devs/regular people that know who have kept to themselves.

I'm sure the Xbox Slim leak was a real punch in the gut for Mattrick and crew. I feel like things have tightened down since the . Anything can happen between now tomorrow though. They have taken a bit of a different approach today not really revealing anything exact, but games that will be there or likely there with the twitter stuff.

- ~1.2 tflops
- 8gb ddr3
- 349-399 all in
- 199 subscription model
- early november launch
- knect packed in for all systems
- windows 8 controlled via kinect/controller
- mobile xbox-live clients

they already said no subscription model.
 
Sony loves to ship consoles. LOVES it. They do not love talking about how many consoles they actually sell, such as in the world's largest market, where the Xbox has been maintaing a month-to-month sales lead for a couple of years.

But even if you're right, even if the PS3 is slightly ahead of the Xbox worldwide, how can you look at those numbers completely out of context? The Xbox made huge gains relative to where they were in the previous generation, whereas the PS3 lost significant ground.

You don't want to factor that into your 1st party argument? Does that seem like a thorough analysis to you? Do you expect people to be convinced by what you're saying without a contextual analysis? Like, smart people? You're going to be disappointed.

Most of the PS2's best-selling games were 3rd party, and a lot of them were "only" timed exclusive or not at all. Madden, GTA, Smackdown, and NFS were consistently top sellers at Christmastime. You'd have to be blind not to see that a big part of Sony losing marketshare this generation had to do with losing exclusivity of Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, DMC, GTA, etc, and losing its status as the primary console for football/basketball/soccer in NA and UK.

REALLY hoping for a Forza and support for Fanatec wheels.

I'm also hoping for less of the things I don't like but realistically speaking I don't care about anything but the games ... all the other stuff is just a + or - that really has no bearing on my decision.

Games.

GAmes.

GAMes.

GAMEs.

GAMES!

They've already said a dozen times this week that there probably won't be many game reveals at this event. I feel people who didn't get that bit of info are going to come out of tomorrow really disappointed. Even with E3 just a few weeks away.
