Kaz may kick like an American dad, but unfortunately for Microsoft, he beats children like an Irish dad.

And on February 20, he's coming home drunk as fuckkkkkkkk.


Kaz gets the job done, no doubt about it...

After 7 years and still counting? lol

Hardly a speedy job isn't it?

You dont know forsure. I kinda associate you to Pachter in a sense, your predictions tend to be off :P

Show me some predictions off please.

Edit - The GT prediction in my sig was about shipped sales... the first I missed due the lack of PD updates in the site and the second I was on spot... I just left the sold here in VGC because is funny to make bets in the sig.

Anyway I missed this one: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=125037 or not because we needs the December update.

Xbox's sale already going to the direction of under 50K per week in the near future. Surely PS4 can't harm more than that.

Well it can't drop much below where it's at. I mean its been down YoY pretty hard.

But I can definitely see at least the PS3 living beside the PS4 for at least 2-3 years. Mostly because Sony has some good first party games coming out for it as well as 3rd parties who support the PS3 very loyally right now. Plus they have Japan who'll probably produce some JRPGs for it for a while.

360 I can imagine 1 year mainly because MS will probably move all 1st party support to 720. 3rd party might keep it alive for a year but after that they'll probably move on as well.

Shouldn't that be the Sony share price in the sky?

"They'll still want to buy the devices out there. So in terms of noise our job will be to ensure that the consumers are going into stores, going online, still see and experience Xbox, rather than get lost in the industry chatter."

translation: We need to make sure people only see xbox so they don't realize how much better Playstation is

It wont affect PS3 or 360 sales, the sales are declining regardless. Down 30% at least this year for both. Next year (2014) they will collapse.


if it wasn't announced there will be the biggest meltdown in internet history. lol

zero chance of it not being announced.


Yeap and yeap. 

Even with a steep price cut sales will decline from here on out.

Plus I don't think either company wants to cut price too much because that would hurt profits.



It's just that simple.

Also if Sony shows first and MS does not 1up them then Sony will not be seen as the copycat this time as they were with PS3.
