I hope not, I'd rather they put the funds towards their own library of exclusive games.

E3 is right around the corner now. Misewell wait it out.



It's just that simple.

They have money to do both and a lot more, the EA rumor seemed somewhat solid in parts. I'm betting they're going to do at least a few timed exclusives and 1 or 2 exclusives for some smaller EA games. FIFA probably won't be touched. It sells stronger on ps3, more so because of the lead they have in Europe.

 

MS is better off waiting. Doing a full reveal a E3 will blow Sony and Ninty out of the water and steal some to most of the hype away from Sony. Hardware wise at least anyway.

I wish they could say more. If they already announced and said this it would be bittersweet. Damn, can't wait for the reveal.

yep I am definitely excited and curious to actually see the design and real name

I bet most of the rumors are bloated. Maybe one negative one comes to light, but I can see a few actually being positive the way they are implemented. But I don't see it being stronger than PS4.

most likely it's going to be slightly identical

Oh, very close, but I think PS4 will have the edge if not in much power, in ease of development which will translate...mostly in the first 2 years. I still expect MS to bring on some interesting non console things.

What? It was stated that the development-environment relies on Visual Studio, which is, believe it or not, a Microsoft product. I don't see why people still repeat this over and over again. MS always delivered very good environments for Xbox and 360 and I highly doubt that they will fail to do so with NextBox.

If the Ram set up is what is rumored in the Xbox 3, then I think it will be the harder of the two to work with.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
