Should have ended it with "...twice"

 

[LordOcidax]

Also $499.99 > $399.99

 

[Servbot24]

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

I agree. Get people used to bad news so it's not a shock at the conference.

 

[ethomaz]

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

PS3 sold more every year if you align launch but MS had one year head start of sales that took a lot of years to close.

Is there not a thread for this Youtube E3 thing?

I can make a quick one.

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.

Oh it was.

 

[Jaraghan]

This dude never stops delivering.

 

[Shadow-Link]

Looool

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

$499 and it's DOA

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

And it'll probably be €499 in Europe...

At this point, just accept the $499 price point. If it's lower, then all the better. At least this softens the blow.

Agreed. There's no downside for them. If it's $499 then it's already been announced. If it's lower then they'll blow the roof off.

You're so woke bro. Please teach us your ways of clarity.

 

[LycanXIII]

Wut?

He is trying to confirm if Destiny 2 will be 30 or 60fps on Scorpio from the devs.

And he knows that they can't talk about it until launch because of Sony's marketing.

 

[Always-honest]

Oh shiiiit, haha.

 

[maximum360]

I think he jumped the gun a bit though. He may have to eat some crow soon.

 

[ChrisInCali]

$500? Way too much for me. If it turns out to be good, I would considering getting one then at $350.

 

[Majukun]

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.

Sony didn't have them either, not this efficient and varied at least.. a lot of restructuring was done to compensate the loss of all those exclusives that were a given on PS2 just because it was the most sold console ever.

I have no idea if Microsoft is doing anything about this situation, nor I'm that interested since I'm a pc guy, I just said that the gen is not irrecuperable by any stretch.. but of course Microsoft has to work and work hard, it's not something that happens overnight or by magic.

Yes, that's the only way I can watch Geoff's YouTube stream. He better be right just sonI don't loose my faith in humanity ...

 

[NewDust]

At $399 it is still the most expensive console on the market... Joined with Pro if that doesn't get a price cut (it will).

No I fully expect it will be $399. I always kind of have assumed that because they know sales will be shit at $499. Like others, I believe MS went to Geoff and told him to leak the $499 price so they could "shock" everyone at a $399 announcement. Like I said, lame....they want that moment like Sony had when they announced $399 PS4.

 

[Maxim726X]

Agreed. There's no downside for them. If it's $499 then it's already been announced. If it's lower then they'll blow the roof off.

Mmm not so sure about this one.

Pretty sure, at the very least, people expected this to be competitively priced with the PS Pro... So getting it down to 399 isn't exactly going to light the world on fire.

If this is actually priced at 499, we have another gigantic E3 failure to add to MS's resume.

 

[Joey Ravn]

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

$449 or $399

Just a prank, brah.

 

[RandomHopeInc]

Armchair experts the lot of you, 499 is the only logical price for such a loaded machine. You keep saying you want 4k, well there you go and that's the price

If you are talking about overall sales, yes it is.

 

[Lord Morairty007]

I wonder if Microsoft is willing to change the price before the conference goes live. That would be something( most likely would not happen because the investors would want Spencers head).

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

This guy everytime. Amazing.

 

[AmyS]

Just noticed the title change.

lol.

 

[Bricky]

 

[120v]

regardless of the "leak" if this is $400 that'd be clever bait n switch on MS's part. i haven't seen a company take the 'hot rod' approach of pushing a console like this since the 90s

 

[Kaversmed]

It's a joke account. Don't think he cares about being accurate tbh.

 

[friskykillface]

Miyamoto at the conference too?
The 🐐

 

[ethomaz]

They can talk about Scorpio version after the Scorpio show... they can talk about the XB1 version too like they already did.

They can't use the XB1/Scorpio/PC version for marketing.

 

[Metal Khaos]

I've never seen Geoff leak shit over the years either. This has to be MS's doing, him posting that so when they come out at $399/$450 or whatever so they can say they shocked people or something stupid like that.

It is 499. They are not going to rehearse a false price.

 

[Baroquemantic]

It's a work. Geoff is def in on it.

 

[Floody]

lol, post like these man, post like these.

What's wrong with that post? Not everyone can justify throwing down 500 on a console and there's nothing wrong with waiting until it's at a justifiable price.
