If anyone thinks COD or BF would be exclusive to either console as far as next-gen is concerned is smoking some good weed. I would give the chance of that happening for either console a -100% possibility.

I don't do drugs, and of course it's a possibility, not for Sony because they would never shell out that much. I already did the maths, it's chump change really, to MS anyway.

I heard EA, Ubisoft, and Activision are all going Xbox exclusive. Prove me wrong.

I must admit I can't wait for it to be finally over with. I'm sick of the wait. I can finally breath a sigh of relief because I'll know what the Xbox 720 is about.

What's wrong with people discussing the possibility? Nobody is saying it's a dead cert, heck I think everyone would veer on the side of it's not going to happen.

But it's doable and it's something that you know has crossed Microsoft's mind.

100%? really ?
ms spent almost a billion dollars on kinect marketing alone so if they believe it profitable, theyll get whatever exclusive they want. its that simple.

fyi i dont think its happening. i just think its possible.

You seem to work under the silly assumption that the division has an unlimited budget...

I've never played a PGR game, but they've always looked amazing. Even though I'm not that interested in PGR5, it's almost like I want them to show it tomorrow just to see the graphics.

And bring on Alan Wake 2.

Everything about this seems more 'grown up' about this the Xbox reveal. Also goes to show the level of respect and clout that they've gotten over the course of this generation. From EA bullying Microsoft to open up Xbox Live back on the Xbox 1 to having EA unveil their best selling game at their reveal. They have come a long way.

they sure have... this reveal is top shelf by all indications and the GAMING partners prove that they believe in what's in the box and the ideas behind it.... the premature demise of the Xbox brand
on GAF
was premature.

I just told you I did the math, exactly how many copies of Fifa do you think will sell on PS4 in the first 6 months?

Don't know, but if it was a matter of six months, Sony could easily compensate for the losses incurred by the absence of a Durango version, seeing that the latter would probably sell less in Europe. I'm afraid it doesn't work like that...
 
There is no way MS would let EA in on their launch event this much unless they had something big exclusive. Also EA pulling out of Wii U is interesting timing.

Battlefield looks hot, but only game I really want from EA is Respawn's Titan. I prefer Sci-fi over military FPS.

If MS gets next-Gen exclusives on Titan and CoD or Battlefield then there isn't much else the next Xbox needs to outsell PS4.

The picture that is becoming clear is how much bigger and more popular the franchises are that MS is debuting for next-generation compared to Sony's event.

Sony can't afford to chuck out $200 mill at will right now, MS can. And more if they felt it was worth it.
 
No, they didn't let MGS and FF go exclusive to MS. They're just multi now, that's a big difference.

But who imagined Square games being exclusive on the 360?

Will they put that many resources into keeping Sony at bay or will they focus more on the TV and Apple plus Google instead?

The picture will be clear after E3.

Sony really trying to recreate that Sega marketing magic this year and failing miserably.

They are doing pretty good actually, imo. Revealing first, keeping the momentum, and having the last word at E3. They know it would have been difficult to go toe to toe with Microsoft if the latter initiated first, so they've been persistant in occupying the media space since late february. I see no fail here...

LOL

You guys do realize the "Only on Xbox" avatars are being worn by PC only people, Sony only people, and people who buy everything right?

Or you just completely out of the loop? Join up or leave you no fun having people! :p

Or not...spoilsports. We don't care.

Yep.
 
Microsoft buys EA and together they release an all-American console. All this was prepared by Mattrick and Moore. It will block used games, will be always online, a fusion of xbox live and ea origin. To complete the package you can buy a stars and stripes faceplate and the power on sound will be the American anthem. They will show it tomorrow when they will show Fifa and UFC.

What a cop out to say "I'm just discussing the possibility" when that possibility is not unlikely and ridiculous.

Are you going to go out and shutdown 80% of the internet then? Its people talking about random stuff they are interested in. Calm down.
