Forums - Microsoft - Major Nelson promising MEGATONZ!

Once in a lifetime?
Microsoft has secured Konami as an in house developer? Not big enough
Microsoft announces Halo 4 , big but not once in a lifetime.

Microsoft unveils a portable gaming system? A new slim 360?
These would be once in a lifetime. It would be history and cannot be changed. Developers come and go, exclusives are stolen, and then shared.. nothing is concrete.

So it must be new hardware of some kind.
Or he's just full of marketing BS

I don't see why it can't be Software..Though a "Slim" 360 would be awesome....A handheld not so much....I would bet it's Software

He's probably right...why else would MS stay quiet for ~8 months? They obviously wanted to save something big for E3.




Here we go! Can't wait I'm so excited ... feel like that kid on the disney land advert!



 

Major Nelson is not the kind of guy who likes to make promises he can't keep. This might be something really huge. It is hard not to get hyped, but I try to stay calm. Don't know if they consider this camera-stuff to be THAT huge. We will see.

Things I would like to see, just for the reaction on the internets:

  • MS bought Square Enix or
  • MS bought Epic or
  • MS bought Capcom or
  • MS bought Konami or
  • MS bought Bethesda or
  • MS bought UbiSoft or
  • MS bought TakeTwo or
  • MS bought Rockstar

:D I know, this is NOT gonna happen, but the meltdown would the best thing I have experienced online.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I don't think any of these things are out of the realm of possibilty.  Software companies are strapped for cash and MS may have decided now was the time to buy. 

But I think more in line with MS current business strategy is the purchase of various high end exclusive games.  MS seams to be moving towards 2nd party software teams where the companies keep their independence but develop mostly for MS. 

Any of these developers high end games could be coming to the 360 as an exclusive for this year, I think that is what Major Nelson is trying to suggest.

I thought they would have a contract for another 5-years-partnership? Anyway, MS buying them and make LA Noire, Bioshock2 and most important GTA a Xbox360 exclusive would be hilarious. The internet would stop in this moment.

Once in a lifetime is a pretty bold statement...

It does appear as though Microsoft wants to step up the console war this year.

yeah,but if microsoft buys them then they immediately gain control over all the ips. and btw la noire is just being published by rockstar. not being developed
