ive noticed something. by not really anoucneing anything for e3 people are getting curious as to what might be released, thus hyping games that no1 knows of! man thats total genius! (this is a serious thread because look on most sites people are talkking about microsoft at e3 the most)

 

It's the same they did last year, and they already said back then it'd be the way forward for them, PR wise.

This can very much work against them TBH. They better show up big time.

EDIT: but yes, MS is very very cunning, but so is Nintendo and Sony.

 Fixed.

harhar

let's see you take 22% marketshare against the unworldly wii while at the same time being the most expensive console ever.

 

You give me absolute dominance and 100m+ sales 2 gens in a row, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be scraping and scratching my way to a third place finish.

Not announcing your games ahead of time, creating suspense, building hype for your brand, delivering at an international show, swinging momentum in your favor, and not giving away your biggest surprises in anticlimactic one on ones with no-name videogame "journalists?"

THAT is copying Nintendo?

I figured that "that" was just common sense.

Sony hasn't figured it out yet, but look at their business strategy.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Oh yes, MS announced absolutely nothing recently, that's SO clever ! Meanwhile, PS3 owners enjoy gems such as Killzone 2, Infamous, MGS 4, LBP.

That's so GREAT having no exclusive to play !

Lol @the OP. Seriously.

By this point we know about LP2, F3, etc.

LP2 is 2010, and do we REALLY know about F3? no. The fact is, MS had announced their big hitter (gears 2) by this time last year. the only games they announced at E3 were things like lips and scene it. 2009, like Molyneux said, will be monumentally dry

Yes, we know about F3. 

We also know about Mass Effect 2.

LP2 is early 2010, which means before next E3...

Forza 3 hasnt been officially announced I think you'll find, and the other two titles are 2010 and thus besides the point. so MS has for this holiday an expansion to halo 3 and a racing game - you honestly think thats enough?

Do you even know why people cannot wait for E3? You're stating everything which is exactly opposite. E3 is a convention in which the big three brands collectively hold us in suspense for their biggest news of the year. This is information they've been holding has been under wraps since last E3 or even a short while. It takes a lot of smarts to keep everything from leaking out to the public. You must be one of those people who hates to be surprised. E3 is all about surprises, because if your surprise is good, it will make or break your year.
