MS have about 10 "next gen" titles in the works now. Barely anytime for media at e3. My prediction? More anti-ms threads on the way.



It's Doooooomzzzed!!. Yep this sounds like pure anecdotal information.

My friend that has told me tonz of great info, said you can get into the xbox 720 and drive it like a monter truck with six whells. I'm writing this thread just to see break downs. Cause I really have no source and I have never posted anything worth confirming my sources validity of my source but you gots toooo's bElieve mEEE

 

 

Prepare to be majorly disappointed if MS doesn't change the course they're on... And look up my PS4 e3 prediction thread for more info on what's going to happen at e3...

Your kinda putting your predictions into almost fact territory here. 

And this "hey guys I got dis legit source, trust me!" usually doesn't go well.

As you might have seen as of late I have claimed to have inside information of the gaming industry. I have tried to make people understand why Nintendo isn't getting any 3rd party support and I have made bold (but fairly vague wording to protect my source) predictions for Sony's upcoming e3.

And now I have inside information of Microsoft and their next Xbox. And it's no pretty read. Brace yourself.

First of all, this is nothing I'm actually predicting, but what I've heard from my source from a 3rd party developer working on nextGen titles...

Microsoft will apparently be focusing their e3 presentation around the media functionality of the NextBox, because they don't have too many games ready.

The 720 will also be region locked...

And it will launch with VERY FEW games.

I'll try to put this in the same way as my source put it to me (I don't know if this is speculation or what is actually happening right now over at MS): "They're running around shitting their pants [...] They fucked up."

With the little information I have right now the 720 will look VERY disappointing to a great many people. BUT, I also would like to point out that this certainly must be subject for change, and if the situation changes I will let you know.


Okay. For a moment let us assume that I believe you. How credible is your source? Yes he is a developer, but are you sure he is close enough to get decent information? I'm not interested in details since if true then you have to protect your source, but I just want to know how certain you are that this person who is divulging 'information' is not just selling you dreams.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

What i get from your insider is that he is a Sony fanboy with wishful thinking. I mean Dann has it not set off any bells for you that everything your insider says is Pro Sony but Negative Ms/Nintendo??.
If i was you id stop listing to your insider and stop posting his dumb storys here on vgc before i need to start reporting them for only being flaim bait.


Well that is my thought. It's pure flame bait.

Region locked, yea MS is going to change a very well, successful business. Give me a break. Theirs a lot of money in live and it's running well. Only thing I see, is them updating and making the system better.

I won't believe anything until I actually see it at the MS conference.

I don't expect them to disappoint, they will give Sony a good fight.

From what I can gather Sony won't back down; they're making a last stand. If this goes to shit it's all over, so they're banking on the PS4 to be a success. MS will have to pull something amazing out of their slevees if they wanna give SOny a run for their money...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I did know that they were going to focus on the Media capabilities, but very few games also pertains to the Sony conference where they showed around 5 games (Is that right?)

-Knack
-KZ:Shadowfall
-That one MM thing
-Watch Dogs
-Deep Down


Drive club and The Witness as well. But they still have E3 and if Dannes info is correct, it'll be a good E3 for Sony.

It all seems too good to be true!


So you don't want competition and let Sony dominate? Why?



Region locked / or not is one of the most overrated features ever. 99.5% of the customers don't even care about.

And I think you are just trolling. I seriously doubt a 3rd party developer (like you claimed your source to be) knows anything about MS first party offerings. Rare, Lionhead, Turn10, Black Tusk Studios, BigPark, GoodScience Studios all confirmed to be working on Xbox 720 games. 343 industries will release Halo 5 in 2014 or 2015, MS Victoria, Lift London, Twisted Pixel, MS Redmond etc. are all working on new games as well. I think MS did a fantastic job to build up their first party studios and it will show.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Something amazing from their sleeves eh.....

Seriously though they could probably just bombard the advertisements with $$, get CoD exclusive packs again.

The Witness

Destiny

inFamous Second Son

Drive Club

 

If these games come out with the usual Fifa and other 3rd party games, it will be an awesome launch.
