Those could be Kinect titles.
GTA 5 being a launch title for Durango would end GAF for good.

The Ballmer gifs only serve to remind me how much I dislike Microsoft as a company. Such a disgusting slimeball.
The Xbox division needs a new spokesperson stat.

So it begins.
GTA V surprise Durango exclusivity, (probably a few months) console releases on September 17th w/GTA.
My bold and stupid prediction.

How far away is that when measured in GDDR5? And do you think Microsoft can increase that before launch?
So a new spokesperson fixes Microsoft as a whole for you?
Did I say that? Ballmer is just not a very likeable guy.
And Don Mattrick? Well I don't know, not the most charismatic presenter either.
People should make gif suggestions.

How is ballmer not likable? Compared to who? Don mattrick? Ken whatever? Aaron greenberg? Ballmer is way more likable than them.
In the end does the presenter really matter? If the product they push is desirable thats all they need.
Ballmer has more charisma and hype for MS than all 3 combined.
Dude was sweating in his madness.
Ballmer always has a crazy look in his eye, the dude legitimately might be crazy. I'd take more CEO's or executives like Ballmer all day everyday.
Paul Therrott has been saying the end of April for several months now. This isn't new news really. He also is on record confirming there are 2 Xbox consoles coming out this year. Not 2 SKUs.. 2 consoles. If you do the math, look back at older rumors and leaks this likely means..
1. Xbox "Loop" - a settop box, like AppleTV that is running streamed services with powerful enough GPU/specs to run current XBLA games+futuregen digital games. Super cheap, like $99-149
2. Xbox "Durango" - the true successor to the 360, full fledged console.
The idea is that MS is going to get out the nextgen gate running, in that they instead of pricing a console high and taking years to discount it to hit mass market sales. They will penetrate both markets immediately. For instance..
*note : made up pricing
Nextgen consoles :
Playstation
PS4
(2) SKUs
(1) Lower tier, less features : $449
(1) Higher tier, full experience : $549
Prices remain this for 2 years, then $50 drop. Wait another year or 2 for $100 drop and prices stay there until the end of the gen.

"Durango"
(2) SKUs
(1) Lower tier, less featuers : $399
(1) Higher tier, full experience : $499
Prices remain this for 2 years, then $50 drop. Wait another year or 2 for $100 drop and prices stay there until the end of the gen.
"Loop"
(1) SKU
(1) Bottom tier, offers digital games and media consumption : $99-149
Price remains the same for 2 years, then $50 drop. Stays there until the end of the gen.
With this market, MS beats Sony to the bottom-line mass market day 1. As far as consumers see it, they can get into the Xbox brand day 1 for a discounted price, and honestly.. thats all that matters to many consumers. But with this I feel it would canabalize their own market.. so the "Loop" will come out 6 months after the Durango has built the brand and platform. Then introduce the affordable cousin that does less.

It's also great that he lent his likeness to Crytek for the psycho character. The accent was off though.

Imagine the reaction if the leaked specs were for Loop all along.
xbox beat ps2 and didnt 360 also beat ps3?MS will never beat Sony is hardware, you guys need to accept this (i'm surprised you haven't by now). Sony will always have the hardware advantage. MS excels in OS and software features. Whatever social aspects PS4 offers I imagine MS will trump easily.

If Microsoft releases two consoles they are already dead.
There's a tremendous opportunity cost there.
Even if they market it as a digital entertainment device (that as it happen also plays games) they're taking a tremendous gamble for not much of a pay off.
xbox beat ps2 and didnt 360 also beat ps3?
This is funny considering it is Sony that is switching to whats been the MS Xbox blueprint of using PC parts this time.MS will never beat Sony is hardware, you guys need to accept this (i'm surprised you haven't by now). Sony will always have the hardware advantage. MS excels in OS and software features. Whatever social aspects PS4 offers I imagine MS will trump easily.
Curious, why state this? It isnt even being discussed.
Why you gotta worry about it? I hope they're both good.
it's just been an underlying thought in all these threads, including this one, that somehow MS needs to bring the hardware fire.
That'd be a new SKU then.I expect 2 consoles. Except I think one of them is just a new version of the 360 without a drive, but accesses the new content being added on the media side of the new Xbox.
That was a joke?These Kinect gifs and jokes have really gotten lame.
If the PS4 and 720 release closer to each other than the 360 and PS3 did (and it's looking like they both will) then the only exclusive they'd need would be, say, a 6 month head start. Get GTAV on there on launch, get it pushed back on PS4 until mid-2014. That's all they need, really.While anything is possible, Microsoft would have to spend upwards of $100m to secure GTA V as an exclusive. Based on the performance of The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, I doubt Microsoft are looking at GTA V as a "must-have". Stranger things have happened though.
Bahahaha, that would be fucking incredible.Imagine the reaction if the leaked specs were for Loop all along.

Ballmer eating Kaz and shitting out a Reggie.
According to one of the B3D devs, it was made with 1.5GB's in mind actually (2.2GB GDDR5 available on initial kits). It would have been developed on the earlier dev kits. This correlates with the ram manufacture stamps on the different dev kits. Bare in mind, the 4GB GDDR5 kits only went out in january. I doubt they would have made the Killzone SF demo in a month...
