Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Prediction made in February: Microsofts NextBox is a region locked media box with few games... *Revisited*

As you might have seen as of late I have claimed to have inside information of the gaming industry. I have tried to make people understand why Nintendo isn't getting any 3rd party support and I have made bold (but fairly vague wording to protect my source) predictions for Sony's upcoming e3.

And now I have inside information of Microsoft and their next Xbox. And it's no pretty read. Brace yourself.

First of all, this is nothing I'm actually predicting, but what I've heard from my source from a 3rd party developer working on nextGen titles...

TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT! My source has more info about the PS4 since that's what he's been working with, so I don't know how accurate the rumors found here will turn out to be.

Microsoft will apparently be focusing their e3 presentation around the media functionality of the NextBox, because they don't have too many games ready.

The 720 will also be region locked...

And it will launch with VERY FEW games.

Also, Xbox is losing one of their exclusive games....

I'll try to put this in the same way as my source put it to me (I don't know if this is speculation or what is actually happening right now over at MS): "They're running around shitting their pants [...] They fucked up."

With the little information I have right now the 720 will look VERY disappointing to a great many people. BUT, I also would like to point out that this certainly must be subject for change, and if the situation changes I will let you know.

Damn dude you certainly are making very bold claims haha.

This is almost unreal though. I'm really not a fan of Microsoft in any way shape or form when it comes to gaming. But even I can't believe they would mess up that badly.

This is what I've heard... Don't know if it's true, but my source have proven to be right about a lot of things regarding Sony so... This could very well be a possibility! I'm shocked as well. I'm starting to think that SOny will dominate this gen, not only because they try harder than either of MS or Nintendo, but because MS and Nintendo is fucking up so badly :P

MS have about 10 "next gen" titles in the works now. Barely anytime for media at e3. My prediction? More anti-ms threads on the way.



It all seems too good to be true!

I don't think he is making an anti ms thread, he's just saying what he has heard from a source. He had one about Nintendo and Sony too. He's making bets and seems extremely confident, and if you look at his profile n stuff (and he's even said it himself) he is more of a Nintendo fan than anything.



Whoa, your next thread is also very contrasting. Either your source is wrong, the future is bleak, or you are trolling everyone.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

What is your source by the way? I know you won't say, but it is 3rd party. So 3rd party working on an already revealed game?

My money is on most epic troll ever :D, sadly, I have to say this does draw a bad future for console gaming, the concurence never hurt anyone (well at least not us players) also, it will also cut the games in diversity (but this does fit with his sony claim of a MS exclusive coming to PS4 > just because the neXtbox won't be as focused on gaming anymore developers might want to go for other platforms D:)

They probably have more than 10 titles in development, but they're not launching with all of those titles... But I'll keep you posted if I hear anything. Hopefully MS will shape up after this PS4 announcement.
