[Ephemeris]

I think they'll both be in Nov

 

[xaosslug]

Fixed. What a difference correct punctuation makes.

going by the video? The first way had correct punctuation... she's probably counting May (since it's still May) and not November even tho she's counting November. LOL

 

[AppleSmack]

I have a very strong feeling that Sony could release months ahead of the Xbone. I'm hoping for August (lol), but don't think early October is unreasonable, depending on production issues.

That would be amazing since I have all of August off, but I doubt this will happen

 

[atomsk]

It'll be interesting to know when the weaker console, i.e. PS4 makes it to the market. I guess power don't matter that much if the release date favours one over the other, esp, during this holiday season.

Uh

what?

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

If MS are behind they are behind, doesn't matter when the DudeBro shooters are released.

These games are all going to be on Xbox/PS3 anyway.

Wouldn't be surprised if MS scramble to just about get the Xbone ready for a US December release, and it coming out supply limited too.

 

[moniker]

checking the video i can clearly see " may 14 " on the Live dashboard ( recording date)

and i believe whole Q&A would be approved by Microsoft even days before the recording probably late april/early may.

7 months = mid november as the two boxes before ( 19 nov or 26 nov imho)

May 14th + 7 months = december 14th.

 

[D-e-f-]

That would be chaos.

I obviously didn't mean ON Black Friday, I meant "in time for Black Friday" ...like every North American console launch ever.

 

[ascii42]

They've been so careful to say 'later this year' as opposed to 'Holiday 2013'. I don't know, I'm getting the impression it's coming out sooner than we think.

I doubt it'll be ready for that, but Microsoft would know better than I would.

 

[AppleSmack]

Uh

what?

The cloud man... the cloud.

 

[Kyoufu]

They're not going to release in December. Not a chance.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

There is noooooo way they will launch after CoD.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

I'm not sure is this can be a rumor btw

Early november is my bet

 

[JCizzle]

Wait if they are 6 months behind then maybe PS4 has a surprise E3 release???

Not a chance in hell IMO. I think Sony absolutely needs to beat them to market in NA though. Far more critical for them to get some good word of mouth going than it will be for Microsoft.

 

[netBuff]

This has to be a troll. The Xbone is the significantly weaker console: According to recent analysis, PS4 is going to be 66% more powerful. We'll see how this impacts multiplatform games, it certainly will be nice to get superior versions of universal games.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

That's obviously what she said. How can others think otherwise.

After watching I completely agree. We've come a super long way...... in 7 months, you're not even gonna believe what you see when we ship.

The gap is probably her counting the months she has worked round the clock.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

There is noooooo way they will launch after CoD.

That would be surprising.

 

[metalslimer]

If they miss BF and Sony makes it they should just wait until 2014. There no is way MS is that du....(remembers last couple of days) well guess they are screwed

The PS4 is a good bit stronger, but I wouldn't expect rushed unoptimized launch games to show it especially when a lot will be cross gen ports.

 

[cyberheater]

I have a very strong feeling that Sony could release months ahead of the Xbone. I'm hoping for August (lol), but don't think early October is unreasonable, depending on production issues.

Yeah. There is no way that MS will allow Sony to ship first. It's not going to happen.

 

[Beermeister]

If they release in December it's DOA.

It already is.

 

[JCizzle]

Ummmmmm...

?

 

[Bgamer90]

It already is.

Heh, sure.

I think they'll both be in Nov

Agreed.

 

[i-Lo]

Yeah. There is no way that MS will allow Sony to ship first. It's not going to happen.

Question is how big the gap in their release schedule will be in gawd's country+ canada and Europe.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

After watching I completely agree. We've come a super long way...... in 7 months, you're not even gonna believe what you see when we ship.

The gap is probably her counting the months she has worked round the clock.

Ugh so she seems talking about how work hard of herself,not console release date?

 

[Kyoufu]

When the woman snaps live TV in the video... the TV feed in the corner runs at around 8 frames per second.

I know it's still months away from launch, but it looks nothing like they showed at the reveal event.

 

[netBuff]

Yeah. There is no way that MS will allow Sony to ship first. It's not going to happen.

They might not have a choice. Microsoft doesn't have any inherent advantage in choosing release dates. So they'll probably be released very close to one another.

 

[gutter_trash]

released dates should be known for both by the end of June 10th at E3,

I'm more confident on PS4's date reveal than Xbone's but probably both will known.

LOL, Sony's confernece is later during the day than MS's so Sony can juggle around last minute strategy choices for their conference

 

[metalslimer]

Yeah. There is no way that MS will allow Sony to ship first. It's not going to happen.

Sony seems months ahead in terms of having a coherent message at least. If MS were smart they would have launched at the latest in September because their whole NFL deal is useless launching over halfway through the NFL season.

They can't change their release date in a couple of hours.

 

[Beermeister]

Heh, sure.

Wii U sales. Believe.

 

[Aquamarine]

They've been so careful to say 'later this year' as opposed to 'Holiday 2013'. I don't know, I'm getting the impression it's coming out sooner than we think.

No no, you're mistaken.

XBONE will be out this holiday season, most likely November, like all past Xbox launches.

maybe not the date but pricing they can

 

[IHaveCandy]

The TV playing in Snap was running at like 1 frame a second. It wasn't like that in the conference.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

They might not have a choice. Microsoft doesn't have any inherent advantage in choosing release dates. So they'll probably be released very close to one another.

What choice?it's pretty easy job for them shipping the console in November,at least,the console is there

No no, you're mistaken.

XBONE will be out this holiday season, most likely November, like all past Xbox launches.

And that's it

 

[CorrisD]

They surely wouldn't miss all the big title releases at the end of the year would they?

Though it would be amusing after all the CoD DLC stuff that at launch the only "next-gen" platform you can get it on is the PS4, CoD isn't going to pull people to next-gen if the console isn't there for them to buy it. I would imagine a late November launch at worst, they can't be that silly to launch in December.

 

[xaosslug]

people didn't think MS would 'allow' Sony to have the more powerful console. And people don't think MS will 'allow' Sony to sit out on the 'always online' and slaughtering of consumers' rights... Now, MS won't 'allow' Sony to launch first?

'it's common sense' etc.

 

[metalslimer]

maybe not the date but pricing they can

No they can't change that either if its already been set. People act like these huge decisions are made on a whim when they are discussed for months with analysts and looking at projections.

 

[netBuff]

What choice?it's pretty easy job for them shipping the console in November,at least,the console is there

We've heard rumours about the hardware being late and running hot: The fact that we did see a box tells us nothing about how well their development process has been moving along.

 

[funkystudent]

I dont believe it.

MS will launch earlier then people expect, not later. I am betting on a September / early October launch.

 

[cyberheater]

No no, you're mistaken.

XBONE will be out this holiday season, most likely November, like all past Xbox launches.

There you go. The holidays 2013.

When have Sony said they are going to launch. Just a vague date sometime in 2013.

Lmao, so true.

Ugh,rumors
If they can't ship at Nov,how the hell they can ship it at Dec?choice is,2013 or 2014
Btw,look up^

 

[netBuff]

Might as well be December, how is this any less vague in reality?

The question is whether they have enough machines manufactured to reasonably launch the system earlier rather than later.
I did "look up", all I see are opinions.

 

[Ushae]

why do I enter these threads...

My thoughts exactly

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

If MS are behind they are behind, doesn't matter when the DudeBro shooters are released

This. If Microsoft really is months behind with their games or console software, no amount of money or manpower is going to make the console release earlier.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

They will still ship it even it will sold out super quick if it release at November,same as 360 and Kinect
Because this is holiday

 

[-MB-]

They will never ever release after a COD, never.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Ugh so she seems talking about how work hard of herself,not console release date?

Yes. Her and the team have been working on improving it for 7 months and it is improving daily. When it ships it will be amazing.

That is how I interpret it anyway.

 

[Daingurse]

They can't afford to release after PS4. They cant!

 

[Kacho]

I don't believe it for a second. It wil release the week before or the week of Call of Duty Ghosts.

 

[dragonbane]

Both will launch around the same time. What does "Holiday" exactly mean in the US? Which months?

 

[ascii42]

The TV playing in Snap was running at like 1 frame a second. It wasn't like that in the conference.

Yeah, that looked awful, but did they snap-in TV in the conference? I thought it was only ever the main view and they snapped stuff into it. They did snap in a Skype video feed though, which was shown as working smoothly.

They'd better get both working smoothly by launch.
