@endimion,
- about stoping production like Dreamcats,
I dont believe too that Microsoft or sony will stop Xbox360/PS3 production.
But I believe PS3 will finish in a better position than Xbox360.
- about E3
E32007 is different from the past E3.
Because E3 come later in the year, at E32007, professionnal already know all the news BEFORE E3 and same for gamers that are used of internet.
At E3, the only things for the professional were the different DEMO that they were allowed to play. For this, Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo did a similar job.
But what about the gamers ? the guys like u and me that checked E3 conference ?
As Microsoft just have repeated the samething, it was not interesting.
But:
Sony pushed the MGS4 exclusivity/underligned the timed exclusivity of UT3/kept focusing on LBP/revealed demo of Killzone2 + 60gb price drop + PSP news
Nintendo revealed the new WiiZapper+Wiifit/Wiiboard.
The impression for Microsoft was really bad in the gaming community because there was no news, no annoucement (price cut ? no ...), no news game.
The target was the gamers and sony made a good job.
- about Liepzig/TGS
OK, Microsoft will be able to focus on news game, u are right.
But it is the same for Sony and Nintendo. Everybody will show sample for end 2007 and 2008.
And I believe that sony will make a stronger impression with his firts party exclusive than Microsoft with his PC adapted game.
Same for TGS.
- about Xmas sales
Price drop for Microsoft + bundle ? wow amazing.
But there will be the same for Nintendo and Sony.
Right now, Xbox360 is cheaper than PS3 but is outselled.
Yes, Xbox360 market share is decreasing.
Even more, since Sony drop his console price BEFORE Microsoft, they have taken initiative.
Time to Work !
