Bandorr said: I know very little about Geoff Keighley, but if I found out he was intentionally leaking fake information - I'd never trust or read anything by him again. And really I'm not sure which is worse. Intentionally leaking fake stuff, or being used by someone to leak fake stuff. One is clickbait desperation, and one is being taken for a fool. Both are bad. |
he's like, the dark souls of gaming journalists.
Well, it is a premium product :)
Would have been happier with $399, but we'll see after the games.
this is what I think, he's working with phil spencer and the $500 price is BS. They're going to create a wow factor with the $399 price. Or maybe I'm crazy asf.

lol, why is everything MS do always genius?
Anyway, I still think it is pathetic. If you are confident in your shit, you don't need to manufacture these kinds of things

This is exactly what I think, Keighley just walks into a private/secure rehearsal and then posts info about it... hah yeah right.
More likely this is the top end, their will be two SKU's or a day 1 edition at $499 and the normal price at $399. They are pulling a sony with the price being higher than expected PR ploy, only problem is Sony did the misdirection months before, not on the day of the show...lol

Not everything Microsoft does is genius.
I'm sure they are confident this is just to get the word out and to get people talking before they reveal a $399 price.
