I am too!
I just want them to hurry up and unveil the box. The speculation is turning more negative every day. It's actually kind of funny observing the negative attitude begin to build. There seems to be a mild paranoia setting in. If microsoft continues to talk about casuals and expanding the market --this should be taken as the leak we've all been waiting for lol.
Sony is pretty much all about software, so I can't take a shot at them for that.
everybody is curious about the next xbox, the name, the new controller, new studios that MS recruited, it's grabbing attention
Rumors, rumors, and more rumors is all we have to go with until we get some info about the next Xbox. Although some of the rumors seem to be true like always online.

This probably isn't far from the truth, really.
A 3 month gap in between the PS4 announcement and the X720 is likely enough time to allow MS to re-design a few aspects of the console, so they can promote it as being graphically similar to the PS4.
On one end, I'd love for them to announce @ E3 so I can watch/play it there. But the booths would be horrible to try to get to.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
The longer they keep holding out the more I am starting to think they will do something crazy like have their event in late May and say you can go out and get it next week.

I'm not saying or asking for a knee jerk reaction, I'm talking about the significance of media spotlight that MS is missing out on and Sony is taking advantage of. Things won't reset upon MS's reveal, that's not how things work. If MS can reveal a better system then they can gain back ground but if they can't or only an equal system then they are losing out on valuable time and even a better system will still be trying to gain back ground before they can rise above. |
What does it matter if Sony gets media spotlight now. Why would things not reset. The PS4 does not exist in a vacuum. There is competition and anyone who is thinking about purchasing a console is looking to see what both companies bring to the table not one. It's not like Sony reveal their console and they had it ready for purchase. Actually if Sony did that, it would have totally changed the landscape and MS would have to make some type of message to counter. Instead the PS4 will not see daylight until November. By that time there will be plenty of information, Commercials, reports you name it for any consumer to make a purchase decision. The only thing Sony gains by releasing info this eary is good will but they do lose in other areas. There is no ground lost because Sony has not released anything. By the time E3 comes aound, it will be 6 months before either console is released. Are you telling me by that time everyone will not have enough information to decide which console they want to purchase. 6 Months is a long time and Sony giving MS 3 months to counter seems even more.
For Sony to show their hand with over 9 months for a respond from their competition is either brilliant or blunder. They allow their competition to make changes and tweeks to counter their stragety. They give their competition a chance to tighten their message to analize information from Sony reveal and better market their device. I am not looking at this situation like a gamer or consumer, I am looking at the situation like a business analyst developing my message with plenty of time to address weakness or strengths based on getting knowledge early. The race for Consumer money is not going to be decided in the short months between Sony and MS reveal. This will be a long battle just like it was last gen.

Yes, Microsoft the company that has been building software for decades and has all sorts of development tools, isn't about software. Yes, the company whose first product was a 4K BASIC ROM, isn't about software. Yes, the company who created MS-DOS for the IBM PC, the OS that ran on millions of computers, isn't about software. Yes, the company who created MS Word and MS Excel before they even had their own OS to run it on, isn't about software. Yes, the company that has given away development tools with it's OS since day one, isn't about software. Yes, the only console maker to allow indie game development on its closed-system home gaming console, isn't about software.
So what other bullshit ideas do you have?
