$499 at launch, the console bombs, $399 three months ahead.

I've lost all respect for Geoff. Also, I would t be surprised if this ended up in legal action.

Some very poor choices being made.

They should really sue for those Forza 7 and Ori 2 leaks, too. Class action this shit!

Spoiler

What are you doing.

 

[Playsage]

It's not 66.6% against him if he's sure the thing is $499.

That was to show the unlikeabilty of Geoff lying.

I generally trust him

 

[Dabanton]

Now it's a rumour???

So he was trying drum up viewers to watch his show.

Very good Geoff.

hahahaha. What?


Jesus.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm sure there is a basis here if MS wanted to.

Perhaps negligence, release of non-public information (not sure if NDAs were involved), etc

if NDAs were involved Geoff wouldn't be leaking this. C'mon son.

Without an NDA, Geoff is under no obligation (especially not legal lmao) to keep MS secrets for them. Get real people.

 

[bigol]

Hey now they can do a surprise announcement at $399 and boom everyone go bonkers.

Not so unlikely.
Imagine the hype.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

$499? Doesn't sound that "premium" at all. I was expecting $599 at the least.

 

[Elwood Blues]

Some people in this thread could get a job in the Trump administration. The leakers are the real problem!

 

[Fatez]

Maybe is just a marketing trick so we all believe that's 499.99 and then they announce its 399.99 and everyone celebrate XD (?)

Either way Geoff is gonna be "blamed" for one thing or another

Stop it.

 

[Xumbrega]

lol at geoff backpedaling

 

[Sheroking]

$499 is a disaster. Has there ever been a console that has succeeded at that price?

Are we allowed to adjust for inflation? Because if so: Yes.

LOCK HIM UP

 

[wesleyshark]

Now it's a rumour???

I'm dizzy from the back and forth.

First he said he was confident.
Then said it's what they rehearsed.
Now it's just a rumor.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

My 970/4790k combo still routinely outperforms my Pro. As in, every time

I got the a similar combo (i5 4670k instead of i7) and indeed it usually performs better than the pro (like managing 1440p instead of 1080p for the same game), that's true. Not a huge discrepancy though. PS4 Pro is decent bang for the buck.

 

[DyZ]

All things considered, $500 really isn't all that much to the people who plan on buying this.

 

[QuantumSquid]

Man I cannot WAIT for this conference.

 

[edbooneyebrows]

Why the heck would he retweet some marketing people from Xbox .

hmm?

 

[WilyRook]

El Scorpio is ready

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

lmao

 

[SgtCobra]

So he was trying drum up viewers to watch his show.

Very good Geoff.

Keighley Pls

 

[Piggus]

Good luck running Forza at 4K with those specs.

Good luck running Forza at 4K with a GPU with the same amount of power as the Scorpio GPU?

 

[Jotaka]

How the fuck is it a rumour when he said that's what he was rehearsing? What the fuck, Geoff?

Because as long is not official it will always be rumor/ expeculation.

 

[Kilau]

I still think $399 and this is all part of the bomb drop.

 

[McMoneyman]

Now it's a rumour???

Well it isn't confirmed yet so of course it's a rumor for the time being.

 

[Tookay]

I'm sure there is a basis here if MS wanted to.

Perhaps negligence, release of non-public information (not sure if NDAs were involved), etc

I'm a lawyer,

You're wrong.

 

[SargerusBR]

Shit is going to cost $1200 in Brazil at minimum, fucking lol

 

[Van Bur3n]

[OléGunner]

Premium product with a premium price as MS said a while back.
I never expected less than $499.

[Bunta]

Lol people, it's a rumor until it's official.

 

[DNAbro]

Why the heck would he retweet some marketing people from Xbox .

hmm?

oh my god you people are insane. There isn't a conspiracy between them.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Mental Note: NEVER hire QuikNez as my attorney...

 

[Loudninja]

How the fuck is it a rumour when he said that's what he was rehearsing? What the fuck, Geoff?

He said it in this very topic.

 

[EvB]

Calling it right now. This is a Hoax only to gain traction so MS can be the redeemer of the E3.

Spoiler

/s

Maybe we'll get a Sony style last minute Word 97 price screen

 

[KAOz]

How the fuck is it a rumour when he said that's what he was rehearsing? What the fuck, Geoff?

Because it's not offically confirmed by anyone? Hence; rumor.

[XAL]

What? As opposed to his personal credibility not being ruined by being used by MS to make the price more appealing?

got em

 

[BriGuy]

I guess I won't have to stay up late waiting for pre-orders to go live at that price point. I'm not terribly surprised though; this was never meant to be a mainstream product.

 

[Nozem]

I'm sure there is a basis here if MS wanted to.

Perhaps negligence, release of non-public information (not sure if NDAs were involved), etc

Those damn journalists doing their job, someone should do something about that!

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Seems like a work. I doubt Geoff would leak anything cosidering his professional credibility would be ruined. It really feels like a swerve to make the $399 price even more appealing.

would his credibility be less screwed if he made himself look like a tool to promote xbox ?
i think that greenberg reply is way past clever marketing now.

its either weird marketing or they pissed goeff off for some reason

 

[Ushay]

Now it's a rumour???

Come on man, now the back pedalling. I guess we will find out in a few hours.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

geoff killey

 

[Calm Mind]

Excommunicate this Pope if true.

 

[Zombie James]

I'm more upset at Geoff than $499 now, to be honest. You can't spill the beans on what you're rehearsing and then call it a rumour to drum up hype for your show.

 

[Toki767]

The past 2 pages alone: people don't know the definition of rumor.
