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.

Read my statement again, I thought I was pretty clear that I was talking about launch titles?

So your 3rd party developer friend (Is he from Sweden as well?) knows about the timelines of 11 studios in GB, US and Canada?
Where did he got that one from? -.-



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

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.

YEs, the thought HAS crossed my mind... But I've also seen his gaming collection. There's quite a few Nintendo DS's there... I think he has 4-5 of them. But the possibilty that MS/Nintendo is fucking up majorly is also a reality. Nintendo has already done that with the N64 and GC, remember? Sony is going out of their way to make sure PS4 will be a success. It's do or die for them.

So you just happen to know this "source's" game collection as well.

And having 4-5 DS games means he totally isn't biased against MS?

Okie dokie!

Well, he did post me some pictures... And having quite a few DS's should prove he's no SOny fan boy.

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...

So going by your insider Sony is the only one doing anything good for nextgen yeah?.

Only because they have to. If they don't win they're exiting the market.

Seems a little extreme considering their videogame division is one of the few profitable parts of the company right?

And that's why they're banking on the success of PS4...

kowenicki ironic Sig btw. Talking about longitivity where are m$'s 4 new ips for the Xbox 360 this year? M$ has already quit on the gaming front of Xbox and you have the audacity to have that Sig? Disgusting to say the least. Do you care if classical gaming had a future because with m$ if they get a monopoly I promise you will single handedly ruin gaming since guys in suits are running the show there.


so there are no guys in suits at Sony. Good to know. What do they wear. Sweat pants and nike suits.  seems off of all their decisions lately have cost them a lot, maybe they should get guys with suits. LOL


Actually guy with suits was a quote from a former ms employee. Also if m$ can give me new ips like they did during 05-09 then i have no problem supporting them again.

Yeah, if this comes up and slaps you in the face your reputation as DanneSandin will be forever soiled.

Honestly Nintendo hasn't really shown a very strong effort towards anything that would disprove your info. I've heard about some shoddy dev tools and their hardware is extremely customized. The RAM restriction though, that's crazy.

Microsoft concentrating too much on media and creating a console not game heavy enough while not acquiring studios in time for a decent launch line up...doesn't sound too crazy. But given what it seems Sony is pulling off, it is the wrong move.

The drama is thick. This is such an exciting time for gaming.

Yeah, I hope I will be able to hang around these parts after e3 and the launch of PS720 ^^ But you seem to understand that certain aspects of my claims are true, right? Nintendo doing stupid shit, MS focusing on media... Sony is doing EVRYTHING right. Just look at how Nintendo fucked up the launch of Wii U. It's selling piss poor.


Lol come on man, admit you are just trolling Sony fans. As much as I want to believe this (sony part) it's becoming a whole lot less likely with each new thing you say :p

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.

I hope my source isn't bullshitting me, because.. I'd lose a lot of bet and I'd have to make a "I'm Sorry, I was wrong" thread :P

I will be waiting for you "Im sorry i was wrong thread"

Hopefully I won't have to make that one :D I'm hoping to make a "I was right all along" thread where everyone can come in and say they're sorry to me ^^

Oh my f'ing god, really. Yea their going to show a old fat guy taking a shit as  their first game. Next will be larry going to walmart to get the best deals. Thats why they have been bulding all these studio's up. So they can sh-t garbage out non-stop. This gen for MS will be working on first party studio's. Look who they have been hiring.

All I'm saying is that the launch titles won't be that many. What happens a year from now I can't answer for.

wrong.


No you are right playstation posted profits for the year. Their biggest losses come from tv. 

Sony have 8 divisions

Gaming is ranked 5th in profitability in the last results. 


2.9 bill in revinue and 9 mill in profit. Cause r&d is free right? Seems to me its more r&d spending for ps4 more than anything.

Since when does a third party developer have insider information on all three player's secret reveals anyway? On one company's I can believe, two is a stretch, but three?

So far his 'proof' was him telling you the PS4 will be more powerful than expected, which materialised in the RAM announcement, but there was a rumour before the conference of Sony looking to double the RAM anyway. He also told you about PS4 game streaming to Vita, but honestly that's not very hard to guess at all. Those are some very weak-sauce rumours to be basing his, and now your, credibility on.

This is exactly what I was going to say.  The source 'might' be a Sony insider but i'm putting money that everything else is a combination of speculation, fudd and wishful thinking.

Actually, it's a second hand account apparently. Everything regarding MS is something my source has heard from someone else, so these predictions are the most likely to not be true.

ok

1. what do you do that means you move in the circles where you would "hear" this?

2. who is your source?

I need that before I can even consider this properly.

I don't move anywhere near the gaming industry, I just happen to know a guy from a 3rd party developer. And that's all I can say about my source as well. Sorry.
