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

I don't see how you were right.

This is concerning E3, but their reveal specifically stated that the reveal was for the console and its media capabilities while E3 will be a focus on game.

I stated in a thread from May 2012... that's a year ago.. that MS (and to and extent others) would be equally focused on services and games for their upcoming consoles. My prediction (no insider source) was clearly more accurate than your OP.

In fact, when E3 comes, your OP could be 100% wrong as they could show off 10-20 games coming at launch with say 3-5 exclusives and that clearly goes against your OP.

Sorry man, but I don't think you can claim victory yet unless E3 truly only shows the obvious multiplats (that are even coming to PS360) and like 1 or 3 nextgen only games or better yet 1 or no exclusives.

I think its obvious that the E3 got mixed with the reveal event. This was not a prediction but insider information which can obviously change at any time.

There was also rumours that MS was not going to do a reveal event and that they will wait for E3. It was only until recently when we started getting concrete rumours about the console reveal event.

Other than that the information highlighted in the OP is correct. And as far as im aware no1 else went out their way to highlight the complete focus on media and lack of games, which is exactly what happened at the reveal.

I think we should give credit where credit is due. I mean it's literally impossible to prove these things and DS got pretty much everything correct. Also this is from Feb!
