Unfortunately there is no step 2, it said thank you and you'll get a confirmation email!
Oh well - I'm sure he won't mind
Always.
I have to admit, I'm pretty sold on the PS4 right now, but i'm excited to see what Xbox can bring to the party. If they can better Sony's efforts, then we're really in for a treat.
So if we don't see it, he will have a lot of 'crow' to eat as the yanks put it.
Surely at a time when people can watch it live and get engrossed not just get the highlights from an article after the event.
Maybe they think they'll get more exposure through the evening news & entertainment websites etc by doing it in the daytime.
The Americans seem to be quite patriotic towards "home-grown" hardware, so perhaps this will be a bigger deal to the general public than the PS4 launch was?
Any, sod all that. Good news for us.
Time will tell.
Apparently Sony has another event planned around that time, maybe to show the console? E3 is going to be brilliant this year, the last couple have been a bit lacklustre but this is a big year.
Lmao it's true though, outside of Halo, Gears and Forza what do they have that is exclusive
This launch event and E3 is mircosoft's chance to win me back, they have already burned me twice with overrated consoles
Though i will admit Alan Wake was an incredible experience, is that and Halo 2 enough to justify having bought two consoles and to start thinking about a third, no it isn't
Go first. Don't show your full hand. Let MS go later and tell all then have a second showing dropping all manner of nuclear bombs.
In fairness Dance Central is popular. So is Kinect - but not at E3. No one attends or watches E3 closely hoping to see the new Kinect or dance game.
It is kind of telling too that the timeline on the hub page for this event has so many third party games. COD, GTA etc whereas Sony had a lengthy montage of all their iconic IPs.
No bad thing to position yourself as the console of choice for COD and GTA, though.
Sales are declining. Hardware was down 32% last month in the US.
It is 100% time for something new.
Didn't see that one coming. Good one.
The same source of rumours that gave the Xbox reveal date which turned out to be true also made mention of the delay which was due to the manufacturing of the hardware as MS want to have the console on show. Besides they better do since E3 is only 2 weeks after.
They have Lionhead and Rare too, and they've been working on something, then there's Black Tusk the new studio and Crytek's Ryse. MS have access to some superb exclusives like PGR, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Fable, Killer Instinct, Crackdown, State of Decay.. trotting out the old "it's only Gears, Forza and Halo" is ignorant and who knows what new IP's/exclusive deals may come to light? Epic and Remedy weren't listed as third party devs working with PS4 either.
Those three franchises may be the most popular but it's no different to saying Sony only have the "Uncharted, Killzone and Gran Turismo" (which are Sony's best selling too). Both companies have some great IP's, it's literally what they do with them that counts.
Are they just manufacturing preview consoles or actual consumer units? Could they go for a surprise early launch? It wouldn't be the first time it's happened. Sega did a surprise early launch for the Saturn in the USA when trying a steal a march of Sony and the first PlayStation. (they said it was coming out in Septmber and then suddenly released in May, not revealing their plans till that very day IIRC)
EDIT : In fact, didn't MS release the 360 Slim at very short notice?? It would be a very Apple thing to do. The Americans would lap it up.
360 was short notice, though that was more of a forced launch, I don't see MS messing about like Nintendo or anything though. They can't be so far off from consumer units though, if the console is to be launched in November, a surprise early launch could work especially when Sony seem unsure if PS4 will even arrive in Europe this year.
Not the games, the...gifs? I'm guessing that's so you can go on a fanboy forum conquest? Fingers crossed it all goes tits up eh
