1 hour away, what will Microsoft say?

Let's see who can get the most predictions right: Both safe and unlikely. Lets see who's the ultimate predicter :)

My Predictions (both likely and unlikely), in order of likelyhood:

  1. Ninja Blade release date announced before March 2009
  2. Mass Effect release date announced before February 2009
  3. Star Ocean 4 gameplay trailer with March 2009 release date - Semi-Confirmed as 2/19/08
  4. Rock Band announced as exclusive/time exclusive to Japan
  5. Last Remnant announced as exclusive
  6. Cry-On trailer from Mistwalker
  7. New Mistwalker IP announced
  8. Nippon Ichi IP announced...Launches within 6 months
  9. Final Fantasy XIII announced for Japan, day & date with PS3 version
  10. Final Fantasy XIIIv announced for X360
  11. Spin-Off Final Fantasy announced exclusively for X360
  12. New Tri-Ace IP (Radiata Stories 2 or like) announced for X360
  13. Kingdom Hearts 3 announced for X360...Timed exclusive
  14. Final Fantasy VII announced for X360...Multi-Plat

I think that's it for now.

One for fourteen.



Super Lame.



Mistwalker and Ninja Blade stuff is still possible though, aren't they?



only one that was pretty much confirmed to be shown..

at least you don't predict for real money :p

Well, that was a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be. Of course they couldn't announce much in that time.



No Mistwalker. Surprising.

Well, maybe not. Their games haven't exactly lit up the charts. I'd hate to think MS dropped them like Ensemble and Fasa.

After all, Microsoft's biggest game for the Japanese market will be Star Ocean 4, a third party game, which fits in with their strategy of buying timed exclusivity for third party titles rather than developing their own.



Damn, very unreal predictions, way to get yourself down lol.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

What are your favorite lottery ticket numbers?  I need to know what not to pick... 1/15...  Geesh!

Back on topic though I thought Tekken 6 was a big deal.  Can't wait for Space Invaders and Arkanoid Live...  And the Halo 3 Recon announcement was also goodness for next fall... 

Seems like Microsoft is only doing what they have to to set the pace for Sony.  Mistwalker obviously has something happening, Alan Wake has been starting to surface again, Itagaki will probably be doing some project for 360 soon, Mass Effect 2 is in hiding, APB could have had some air time, Duke Nukem, some more JRPGs for next year, etc.

We are really getting spoiled with 360...  If these announcements were Sony, we'd all getting excited that 3 years from now they'd ship.
