Jaguar 499, no.

 

[DangerMouse]

generation is not gone at all, don't you remember where ps3 was at this point last gen?

The PS3 was actually outselling the 360 from the start, just was a year behind so the total took a long time to overtake, plus thanks to being a worldwide brand they made up millions in other countries.

 

[Spirited]

lmao she mentioned the petition on the youtube e3 live thing

 

[StoopKid]

lol y'all need to stop.

 

[Lanrutcon]

There's still time for people to wager their accounts that he's wrong!

#confirmed499

 

[LordOcidax]

Geoff is not joking. Lolololol.... Damnnn

 

[Van Bur3n]

Holy shit, the Youtube LIVE at E3.

Tis golden.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

You just got mentioned Nibel on e3 live. Lol

 

[rpg_fan]

if it doesnt gain momentum in minds of audience it doesnt even matter how much it did profit in 499$ it will be doa.
just like when coming from mighty 360 , its younger brother turned itself into ashes.

microsoft is trying to gain mindholding not money at this moment (with xbox brand) but 499 aint gonna help

They've had a lot of years to get mindshare, the division needs to be profitable. They'll have their internal metrics to tell them when to make changes.

 

[Voyr]

It will probably come with your 499 dollars console

Nice!!!

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

Gifs shown at Youtube E3 are amazing

 

[RedAssedApe]

geoff unfazed

 

[Rolf NB]

We are all witnesses.

We're a bunch of amazing puzzle games.

 

[edbooneyebrows]

wouldnt be surprised if all this including petition is PR.

 

[Shiggy]

We still need more support:

He's not taking it seriously enough yet.

 

[MikeE21286]

I’m watching Keighley’s show now. There was about a 0.1% chance of this happening before this thread.

Well played sir.

 

[DangerMouse]

Guess you missed last year buddy.

 

[SgtCobra]

This whole thing is ridiculous, love it hahaha

Please don't let it be 499 Philly...

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Son'y will just show three times as many exclusive games like they always do.

3 times 0 is 0

 

[TrebuchetGames]

if it is indeed 499$
i wouldnt be surprised if Microsoft secured one of the biggest IP's as PC/Scorpio/X1 exclusive.Like not GTA big but still big IP.

Could be Splinter Cell,Mafia,exclusive Japan IP like some final fantasy spin-off,Dead Space reboot maybe,Mass Effect Trilogy remake maybe.

also fully expect Minecraft 2 teaser

Theres already been rumours of Splinter Cell. It wouldnt surprise me some sort of Minecraft game and an additional game from Rare (battletoads)?.

Keep seeing DeadSpace being mentioned, any good rumours about that one, or just people hoping?

 

[Gormless Noodle]

I thought it would be more honestly, 499 doesn't seem so bad. But still just something for Xbox fans unless they really, REALLY knock it out of the park with the games.

 

[Havel]

This is such an obvious bait and switch. Why would a professional like Keighley reveal the price before MS themselves? This is viral marketing and Geoff is in on it. They will reveal a lower one in the conference.

 

[Majukun]

The PS3 was actually outselling the 360 from the start, just was a year behind so the total took a long time to overtake, plus thanks to being a worldwide brand they made up millions in other countries.

that's not how I remember things at all, but we are talking of almost 10 years ago at this point

 

[Voyr]

Guess you missed last year buddy.

Probably because they didn't release last year

 

[Boke1879]

wouldnt be surprised if all this including petition is PR.

Honestly for a simple price reveal. It's pretty silly.

 

[LordOcidax]

Confirmed... Geoff (GameAwards)>>>>>>>E3

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Oh Microsoft you dun fucked up with that price.

 

[Crooked16th]

Yeah it's not $499 they way their acting makes it seem like it all a joke.

$449 or $399

What has to take serious? lol

 

[Bold One]

those 360 customers didn't die overnight.
of course they need to do a lot to turn the tide, but so did Sony when they were down against the 360

Neither did the PS2 customers before it.

Demographics change, market share shifts.

MS don't have the army of 1st party studios to make that shift a possibility - not saying its impossible, just not very likely. I am willing to wait and see.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Nibel gif live on YouTube. GAF going places.

 

[edbooneyebrows]

Honestly for a simple price reveal. It's pretty silly.

Microsoft takes it so seriously. Also they lost all marketing deals probably have some money to spend on "marketing".

 

[Maxim726X]

Haha

Haaaa I fucking love that account. One of the few that genuinely get a laugh out of me.

On topic- If it really is launching at this price point, why fucking bother. This generation has already slipped past their fingers and this isn't going to help at all.

 

[Elfstruck]

3 times 0 is 0

LOL

 

[Zombie James]

Is there not a thread for this Youtube E3 thing?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

$499 and it's DOA

So I"m still saying nope as $499 entry price. Must be the higher end SKU

 

[DasPenguin]

As far as market share goes, I am struggling to see where the resurgence will come from - Not Europe, Not Japan. The American Market may not be enough.

LOL. It's not even close to being enough. Didn't we learn that last gen? Even if Xbox broke every record in the U.S, they'd still be behind Sony.

Europe and Japan don't like to be treated like 2nd class citizens, which is exactly what happened when Xbox One launched. All the goodwill they were able to build with 360 was gone in a second. And even that was getting killed by the PS3 in Europe, even though it was pretty popular.

This gen is over. Comparing it to the PS3 situation is stupid.

 

[DangerMouse]

Probably because they didn't release last year

Not all, but many of them did (including 3rd party ones).

 

[Arkam]

what if that was half of the comments in a 50/100 page thread?

At the speed this is moving I would hope you would afford me some leniency your grace.

 

[MisterR]

generation is not gone at all, don't you remember where ps3 was at this point last gen?

Ahead of the 360 launch aligned.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Assuming that is like £450 here, I'm not really sure why people expected it to be any less. That seems reasonable I would have thought, and is about what a launch PS3 cost me.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

 

[MikeE21286]

Whatever the price is. Leaking $499 before hand by MS was the absolute right call by them. Kudos.

Full SNK support this holiday? All dem Fightahs right?!?

another winner

 

[Bluenoser]

Geoff never leaks shit... and he's been around a long time. This is clearly bait and switch if I've ever seen it, and assuming it was MS's idea, fucking lame.
