Also he just tweeted that his appearance at the Windows 10 event in January will mainly be to talk about what MS Studios is doing to suppport PC gaming on Windows 10, not about the Xbox One version of Windows 10. I figured as much, I'm guessing we'll see Windows 10 on Xbox One at E3 or Gamescom, it'll probably be similar to how they announced the NXE user interface update on Xbox 360 at E3 2008.

Stupid question but what happened to Windows 9. Not sure why they're deciding to skip that and go right to 10.

As far as your previous post that's pretty crazy not to announce anything till E3. I hope something big will be announced.

I'd really love to see some rpg games pop up soon too. I enjoyed Infinite Undiscovery. Have you tried that one?

Kind of silly, but I think they wanted to distance themselves from Windows 8 as much as possible since it wasn't very well recieved, so they decided to put an extra number in between xD

I haven't played Infinite Undiscovery, but I need to. Same goes for Lost Odyssey. So many games on my 360 backlog still. Speaking of Infinite Undiscovery, I was just thinking about it because I was thinking about NXE's announcement at E3 2008. 3 JRPG exclusives/timed exclusives were announced at E3 2008, Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, and Star Ocean: The Last Hope, plus it was announced that Final Fantsy XIII was coming to Xbox 360 which was a huge announcement that really ruffled alot of fanboy feathers. I miss those days, back when Peter Moore's Japan initiatives were still in place before he-who-must-not-be-named got rid of them (Don Mattrick).


You'll love Infinite Undiscovery if you love jrpgs. My only gripe about it is a certain achievement that's gotta be like in the top 5 hardest to get. I haven't tried Lost Odyssey yet. Isn't FF XIII already on the 360? I could have sworn it was though I haven't played FF since X.  Still a bummer we can't get a remaster for the 360 even after it's been out for like 13-14 years. The others you listed I haven't played. I did like Blue Dragon. Now when I think again with FF I wonder why SE is releasing XV to X1. After so many FF exclusives on the PS I feel like we're missing something. Storyline and what not.

So Phil just tweeted that he doesn't see an Xbox One event happening before E3. That kind of sucks, so hopefully they plan to go all out at E3, they definitely need to announce a big 3rd party exclusive there, Fallout 4 would be huge.


That would be epic. How much do you think Fallout 4 exclusivity would cost?



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/reply.php?id=194905"e=6915424

I am not sure if I am doing this right, I am trying to only post thismeintiel comment and my reply.

EDIT: It didn't work, can u guys show me how?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but I think you need to press the "quote" button underneath the post like I did here.

If you've any other problems then just PM or ask on walls in the future, rather than posting them here please!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Perminant or Timed? If Perminant I'd say atleast what it could have sold for the PS4. So possibly maybe $200+ million I'd imagine easy. Especially for Fallout.

Its might be because of complications with programs that ran on Windows 95, 98, and 98SE. Apparently they'd freak out if just windows9 would be seen in the coding. So they went to 10.

Don't mind MS waiting until E3 for a blow out tbh.

But yeah, I hope MS are making more deals now and thinking about Q1/Q2 2016. Fallout 4, Prince of Persia, Mirrors Edge 2. Loads of games they could grab.

Or they could just announce what games their first party studios are making, since many were created in 2011/2012 and have had nothing to show yet.

I think its 399 Euros. 

I assume that would be without the kinect. That's close to $500 bucks here. I wouldn't have thought it was that pricey there. Unless that includes importing. Hopefully MS will focus more on Europe soon and give better deals :)

don't use the exchange rate as a reference.... While there is a 30% difference between the $and the € it doesn't translate in the facts... Life in general is more expensive in Europe and sales tax are included in the price...

anyway for electronic stuff prices are pretty much 1 dollars without tax are equal to 1 euro with taxes

I prefer it personally.  Gamescom + E3 > than other events.  The reason is because new reveals and all the hype.  For the most part i see Nintendo Direct and now PSE which was a one time thing as showing trailers of games already announced aexcept the rare announcements that happens.  But yeah, the majority of the big announcements or megaton (even though i hate that word) are at E3 and Gamescom
