Maybe it's a typo. Maybe it should have read "Epic announcement from Microsoft/Sony"

What makes you think that?

As Far as Sony goes, maybe they want to say something to get some media buzz going their way again.

Didn't realize they were lacking media buzz...

Anyway, my guess is this could be revealed through MS, but will be a multiplatform title.


Just seems that M$ is getting all the press lately.  Not much news coming from Sony.

Probably because there have been more negatives (which generates far more interest than positive news) and Xbox One has more exclusives at launch (along with TItanfall) which generates interest.

I'd agree, except that much of it for MS hasn't been the most positive (albeit, bad press is still press). With Sony, though, there's nothing left to report, excpet Yakuza's release date and the PS4's launch date in Japan (both will be moderate mdeia buzzers). They don't really need it right now, though, they're in a good position, while MS's is dramatically improving.

Don't we all think that Sony's kind of spent all the E3 gas?  I am sure that the fanboys that wanted to pre-order the system that they wanted have with a few stragglers.  It seems that M$ is finding ways to keep their system in the public eye(some good and a lot less bad than before).  Consumers are fickle, and both systems will surely sell out for this year.  It's more about perceptions heading into next year.

Everyone has "spent their E3 gas". We're nearly in September, that was almost 3 months ago. In the current landscape, there's more positive buzz for the Xbox now than in June, while Sony's been riding a tidal wave of positive media hype.

No need for us to turn this into a VS thread, though.

Amen.

Let me guess the bundle: BF4


tbh it wouldn't make much sense - BF is no seller a la COD nor FIFA and would be redundant

I would guess bundles for 530 euros with Day One Editions of Forza 5 alongside Fifa

Anyway - bundles are secondary to a potential new exclusive

I'd be surprised if it was exclusive. MS have already spent ungodly amounts of securing what they have already announced, MS is still a business and one with many investors that need pleasing. :P I imagine they want to hold off a bit on the spending, seeing as at present the life time profits of the Xbox brand is still around -$5/6 billion xD (that's not including the R&D for the Xbox One and all the recent deals they have acquired. So its likely sitting at around -$8 billion right now).

Seems only Nintendo can make money on games :P

MS/Investors don't care about what losses were made 6 - 10 years ago. As long as the division is profiting (as it has been for the last 6 years) it won't come under fire. I think MS isn't anywhere near done spending btw.



 

Another new ip exclusive to the xbox one i hope.

who says this is for xbox?

No one.

MS is supposed to have a surprise for PAX and Epic has something that is unannounced.  


There is supposed to be a surprise other than a bundle for xbox at Pax - so i'm just connecting dots with Epic's TBA slots...

gears of war 4 only on playstation 4!


LOL Even if this were serious, from Sony's partnerships on the PS3, they wouldn't stoop so low as to keep Gears from Xbox gamers, they would just go for DLC.
