This is after neogaf banned a bunch of corporate shills today and yesterday. It's very apparent that Microsoft is doing damage control but they are too hamfisted to realize that the damage is already done. If they don't hit it out of the park at e3, they've basically lost the core gamer audience ad are going to be forced to cater to the less informed dewchugger demographic next gen.
Wii, yes. Wii U audience right now are like the early adopters for the 3DS--they believe in Nintendo enough to sacrifice goats before the sensor bar.
You mean people who buy the major sports franchise games, and other low selling titles like Call of Duty? How will Microsoft make up for all those gamers who suddenly stop buying used games?
How is Microsoft going to keep other devs on board when they can't sell product on their system because all those guys want are sports games and shooters? One of the biggest problems with courting the Japanese developers has always been that most Japanese video game fans don't have a 360. Even exclusives from the old guard of Square (Mistwalker) weren't enough to bring them onto the system. About the only exclusive titles that DID connect with them were the Idolmaster series. It's one of the reasons the system is DOA in Japan.
I'd probably call the people who only play games on their phones, iPads, and on Facebook the majority these days... but that's just as depressing.
-Slow broadband? (The official definition of "broadband" was set at only 768d/200u until 2010, now it is 4d/1u)
True, as long as they give it a hard drive twice the size you get in most common PCs, it's no big deal.
That was another plus of the PS3. You can replace the hard drive with a standard laptop hard drive. I've actually been thinking of putting a SSD in mine for faster loading.
Oh for sure, I'm rocking a 1tb hard modded INTO the case, and have an external 1.5tb usb plugged in. It's amazing. Again IF i happen to get a PS4, I'm hoping for the same kind of compatability.
It's been going up steadily since friday, reversing a 6 week long slide. Looking at their chart, things seem... cautiously... optimistic for them since the start of the year.
