Not bad!  Wasnt there a rumor a year or 2 ago of this trying to happen?

Also, they are already very strong in the US, I bet something like them buying Capcom/Konami or hell even Square would end up more beneficial to them.

I'm suprised nobody hear thinks Microsoft may announce their next platform. Rumours are already flying that Nintendo might so the fact that no Microsoft fans suspect that Microsoft will is sorta suprising. The four year life cycle is over and now the five year cycle of Sony and Nintendo are due to wrap up next year. Microsoft's marketshare is beginning to slip faster and faster.

You'd think the next generation would be the answer to all Microsoft's problems. A clean slate a way of killing off the PS3 before it capitalizes on its growing momentum. Microsoft could launch the new platform fall 2011 just like Nintendo is expected to do.

Come on doesn't anyway think Microsoft will at least hint at the NextBox? Seriously its been almost a year since Microsoft placed that ad on Gamasutra looking for developers to work on the next X-Box. If dev kits have been around that long the nextbox can't be too far off!

I hope they reveal the Xbox 3 at E3 but I don't think they will.

And there's no dev kits out there for the nextbox lol. Where did you get that from?

If Microsoft began software development for the next X-box then a dev kit has to exist at least internally. Maybe Microsoft hasn't distributed kits yet, but kits must exist. Not to mention kits were availible for the 360 before we heard about them as well.

According to Microsoft Gamasutra as they have begun developing games for the next X-Box. Launch titles more then likely. Its just a matter of time before Microsoft announces the nextbox!

Hmmm could be a 360 slim or even a new console (quite unlikely though imo)

Most likely some exclusives and awesome new stuff for Xbox Live.

A big announcement to me would be if they actually starting buying up small to medium sized well known independent game studios like epic, mistwalker, tri ace, remedy, valhalla games etc to boost their first party studios.

Nope, Natal is E3 for MS this year.  They will have other announcments and they will all be good, but the media will focus on one thing and one thing only...Natal.  the future of the 360 rests completely in the success or failure of Natal.  MS could announce exclusive MGS5, FFXV, and Mario...and the media will still judge it on Natal.

That may not be fair but MS made it's choice and now they will sink or swim with it.  Personally, I think it will be a huge success, but we won't know for another 5 and 1/2 hours.

Yes. Slim 360 and Price Cut.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.
