I finally understand Sonys 10 year plan!

     Do you think that Epic is going to wait four to five years to release Gears 3 after the first two have sold over 5 million copies?  And without a Bungie made Halo 4 or Gears 3 what other console launch title does Microsoft have that would justify a large number of people purchasing a $400 to $500 console during a holiday launch season?  Most of their other games have only received review scores in the 8 to 9 range and less than 2 million in sales. 

 

You are making assumptions out of your ass.

Why can't there be a Gears of War 3 on the 360?

Why should Microsoft release its next console for 400 or 500 dollar?

Why can't Microsoft release a console without a five million upwards launch title while Sony could?

And, first and foremost, why should Microsoft be so stupid to end this gen already in 2010 when they are finally making a fine profit with their console?

 

Just stop talking so much nonsense.

 

1.  It is strange how you 360 and Wii fans can troll a Sony board and throw insults around without any impunity, yet if any Sony fan goes over to the Wii and 360 boards and tries the same thing they usually get an automatic ban.

 

2.  There could be, but fourth segments don't tend to sell as well which is why most series end in trilogies instead of going on farther than that and risking overkill. eg. Splinter Cell.

3.  Because they will want it to be as comparably powerful to the 360 as the 360 was to the original xbox.

4.  Didn't work out too well for the PS3 or the Sega Saturn did it?

5.  The same reason they did in 2005 following the release of Halo 2 one of the biggest games of its gen and for the same reason they moved from XP to Vista because they were ready to work with new technology.  They've given up on winning this gen already (see the article released last summer when one of the Microsoft ceo's is saying that the Wii has won this gen and they are going to battle Sony for second place -- you don't see such defeatist statements coming out of Sony) and are ready to start working on winning the next one.
