Forums - Gaming - Did Microsoft just gifted SONY the HD WAR?

Lord Flashheart on 14 June 2010

I guess we was right about the usual trolls reappearing after e3 in the Ms section.

the e3 conference really must have put the wind up them

It didn't look good to you.

Looked great to many others and whats this nonsence about taking the orignal xbox owners. I didn't realise the original xbox sold more than 40 mil the desperation here is brilliant

lol Goddbless.

you're talking to the usual suspects here. It's just a paint job when MS do it but Sony and it's the best thing eva!


yes but it really didn't look good

 

small,shiny with  shrap bend with WIFI and 250gb with same price

 

PS3 SLIMMER 120gb redesign worked as it had a price cut,it was the consumer ideal price point,and the image change to bring back PS3 image from the FAT ugly machine to the fun PS2 like machine and get back the old consumers

 

360 HAS ALREADY taken in all the XBOX 1 consumers

they should have a redesigned xbox and kinect bundle... that bundle with a 349.99 price will be very appealing to those who want the new xbox and kinect...

yes i think that would have wiorked

the redesign was really just looking like a paint coat


a Paint coat. And a redesigned smaller console. And a 250gb HDD. And built-in Wifi.

- the sport deal is really not that "HUGE" even in the US. It is a non event when you consider it in Europe ...

- are we sure Rising is exclusive to the 360 ? or is it coming to the PS3 too ?


We don't need it Europe. Just like ESPN but we have Sky already in the UK.


and u have to pay for thr SKY connection

So? Don't you pay service prividers in america?

not for ESPN thing that we are talking about

 

just XBOX LIVE membership and an INTERNET CONNECTION

They just said "keep the unprofittable part of the market, Sony"

But you're dreaming thinking Sony will not going to turn casual one day too.

Let's see: invest 60 million on killzone = 2 million copies sold.

Invest 2 million on Wii Sports = 60 million sold.

Guess which side of the fence they rather be??

Same with sky if you're a subscriber. You knew that right

And you really shouldn't comment on the new xbox looking bad. Have you seen the PS3 slim. Looks like a cheap chinese knockoff. The original although waaay to big looked good. Oh and ignore the built in wifi larger hdd all for the same price when talking about no price cut for the 360 You are so full of it

Rising is not exclusive. It was announced early on, right before MS said "everything to follow is exclusive." If it was, they would have done it after.

i know but the OP makes it sound it was ...



Time to Work !

twistedcellz on 14 June 2010

well if u talkin about kinect not lookin really apealin, the ur probably right

but if u comparin it to games like gran turismo and the other sony titles

then I'd say no bcuz gears and halo reach have a pretty big fan base

bigger than KZ and other sony sequel titles

but I hope sony doesnt concentrate just on move like ms did with kinect

cuz Im hype for socom 4 but dont want them to fuck it all up bcuz of move

 



Nintendo made me a gamer so I'd be stupid to ever try to forget that                                             like so many people nowadays

The Top  Best Consoles Are SNES and PSX 

Currently Playing: 1.Monster Hunter tri 2.MegaMan 10

Skeeuk on 14 June 2010

yes they did.

only halo reach and fable 3 to look forward to this year, combined with conviction and alan wake........................



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

So Microsoft's E3 conference is over and it didn't feel Microsoft.With their previous conferences which were exciting and filled with shocking announcements,this felt like Nintendo's Conference

 

Their MAJOR announcements:

XBOX 360 ELITE redesign - will appeal to existing userbase and also price wasn't reduced

ESPN Deal - not much difference

METAL GEAR RISING TRAILER -don't think this will make difference as MGS4 already on PS3 so MGS fans already own a console so they buy MGS RISING PS3.Also it will release next year so too late

NATAL - INTERESTING,lets see how people like it.late launch and hardcore title sellers not included

HALO REACH -  it should have had NATAL support optional but i think it was done becauser of the NATL 360 processor sharing would affect game quality.

So cherry picking to suit you? What about their other Major announcements.

 

SONY GUNS AVAILABLE:

GRAN TURISMO 5 - biggest PS GUN coming - lol so Halo isn't or GoW3 isn't for xbox?

MOVE - again interesting.lets see how people like it.but here BIG games are MOVE compatible like GT5 - Unlike Forza and Kinect or Fable?

OTHER OLD BIG GAMES - many of SONY's top franchises are coming back so they could influence. - Like Fable3?

EXCLUSIVES - MANY exclusives could be announced - true, COULD be

3D



halo and gow have already released 2-3 times this gen so they won't make impact  other than the existing userbase and their fans

FABLE 3 again released so nothing really,i was pointing to TWISTED METAL,LAST GUARDIAN,GT5,etc

FABLE ON KINECT is nowhere near GT5 MOVE also FABLE again lesser as already released even though this time with Kinect

 

FORZA releases next year till then GT5 will smash the racing genre to pieces

So fable wont do anything because its been released and neither will halo or GoW.

What about KZ or Resistance?

I see you ignored Forza on Kinect when talking about gt and move. Focused on Fable? Wonder why? How do you know its not as near (not sure what you meant to say) as gt and move? Played them both?

So none of the ms franchises will have an impact and you've ignored Forza yet you say when Forza releases next year it will surpass GT which will smach the racing genre?

now I know why you keep ignoring Forza


FABLE,HALO,GOW would  do something as they are big title but not the imapct that you saw when those franchises were first released this gen

GT5 is the main first released and it will be big time

like i said KILLZONE and RESISTANCE 3 will cuase something as they are big franchises but like HALO,FABLE,GOW not so much as their first games this gen have already come

 

FORZA KINECT was announced for 2011 if you noticed and it has already been rleased as a francise this gen.Kinect will make impact but not as much if FORZA next year would have been the first FORZA this GEN.PLUS GRAN TURISMO is  many times bigger than FORZA brand

 

MOSY of MS's franchises have been released this GEN so what impact do you expect

YES if they brought back Knights of the OLD republic then there would be some impact but other than that i really don't remember  any oter big MS franchise

about SONY franchises,i was talking about the old franchises that have not landed this gen.TWISTED METAL,LAST GUARDIAN,SYPHON FITER

also  exclusives AGENT and FF14 and some more
