Forums - Gaming Discussion - Did Microsoft just gifted SONY the HD WAR?

So Microsoft's E3 conference is over and it didn't feel Microsoft.With their previous conferences which were exciting and filled with shocking announcements,this felt like Nintendo's Conference

 

Their MAJOR announcements:

XBOX 360 ELITE redesign - will appeal to existing userbase and also price wasn't reduced

ESPN Deal - not much difference

METAL GEAR RISING TRAILER -don't think this will make difference as MGS4 already on PS3 so MGS fans already own a console so they buy MGS RISING PS3.Also it will release next year so too late

NATAL - INTERESTING,lets see how people like it.late launch and hardcore title sellers not included

HALO REACH -  it should have had NATAL support optional but i think it was done becauser of the NATL 360 processor sharing would affect game quality.

 

SONY GUNS AVAILABLE:

GRAN TURISMO 5 - biggest PS GUN coming

MOVE - again interesting.lets see how people like it.but here BIG games are MOVE compatible like GT5

OTHER OLD BIG GAMES - many of SONY's top franchises are coming back so they could influence.

EXCLUSIVES - MANY exclusives could be announced

The ESPN deal is HUGE. IF you don't think it makes a difference is probably because you don't like sports.



Im waiting to see what Sony show us during there's before I comment on the XB360 one.

 

I did however like the look of Kinect.

 

Anyone know what time the Sony conference is? GMT?



The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

I'll wait for Sony conference to see what really happens... Sony already announced LBP2, Infamous 2 and Killzone 3 before E3.  This already would have made a decent unveil at the Sony conference. It makes me wonder if Sony is bluffing about the 'coolness' of the content at E3 or not.



I am a Gamer... I play games and not consoles. I have a PC and Console on which I game... I like games. End of Story!

it is but not anywhere near helpful as it wouldn't really be a selling point but just a LIVE addon

also is it just to USA.

i follow TENNIS,FOOTBALL(BRITISH),GOLF,F1,etc

 

it is a huge plus for who own 360 but not for others looking to buy as they wouldn't only go for that



they should have a redesigned xbox and kinect bundle... that bundle with a 349.99 price will be very appealing to those who want the new xbox and kinect...

Those are big IFs. Don't be dissappointed if there's nothing new in the SONY press conference.

I have a feeling it'll be really similar to the MS conference.
