Lol I've never bought a Sony system in my life.

I just expected to see some new games at this conference. Or new gameplay vids (COD4 was ok).

yea, this kind of sucks.

Crossing my fingers for Nintendo's.

Mupepe · « **Reply #65 on:** July 11, 2007, 01:11:55 AM »

the most i hoped for was a fable 2 realtime trailer, but since it will be out in 08 that is not happening.

AC looks fucking gorgeous though

Well what the hell, surprises don't come until the end of the shows usually. You guys get way too hyped up for an E3 conference if that's what you expect all the time. Plus, Moore specifically said that all the games in the conference would come THIS year. That's it.

Mupepe · « **Reply #70 on:** July 11, 2007, 01:15:56 AM »

unbreakable hd, re5 and the cod4 gameplay was enough for me already. and remember how late the gta iv "big announcement" happened last year? there still is time for something, don't fucking get your hopes up though.

besides Call of Duty 4, that was pretty meh.

The Halo 3 trailer didnt do anything for me. I guess that's because I was a HUGE Halo 1 fanboy. I was so hyped for Halo 2 after all the trailers and stuff, then was let down thoroughly. I'm not going to get excited over that trailer. Halo 2 and Halo 2 trailers were two totally different things.

I guess I'l be getting a "next gen" console after all... after a price drop

border · « **Reply #91 on:** July 11, 2007, 01:32:25 AM »

No big surprises, no price cuts, no big exclusives stolen from Sony.

"Solid if not spectacular" is the key phrase.

Mostly I'm wondering if that Halo 360 is going to be an Elite or a normal system.

Are you...are you serious? It was fairly boring and there wasn't ANY huge surprises, not to mention the sad Red Steel showing. Best part was Mario Galaxy.

Mario Galaxy hadn't been announced at all previous to that.

...so? We all knew it was coming, and they didn't even spotlight it for that long. It had a 6 second clip and that's about it.

RE5 was the best part of the conference. Seems like the game journos were right, though. This E3 isn't shaping up to be very exciting at all.

CoD4 was easily the best thing they demoed and the highlight of the show. Seeing that demo run through Prypiat was awesome.

Just the second trailer that was already released. Also confirmed that both trailers were taken on the 360.

Oh. Already knew that all gtaiv footage is from 360 version since the game informer article in april.

VALIS · « **Reply #115 on:** July 11, 2007, 05:18:45 AM »

That was decent. They accomplished two things:

1. Look at all these cool games we have this year
2. We're not the FPS-Box anymore

But it was a bummer there was no huge news, like price drops.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #116 on:** July 11, 2007, 05:52:53 AM »

My main beef is that they really didn't present much of a vision and future for the 360 past this Christmas. You know Sony and Nintendo will be pushing their 2008 stuff, and it seems really bizarre for MS to get flanked like that.

No price drop was also stupid. You're going to have to drop it in the fall, and going in strong into those months with the media (beating Wii, doubling Sony, etc.) would have played perfect into the hands of the holiday shopper.

You can't announce price drop now and have the 90nm units flying off the shelves. Would you as MS want 33%+ of your newly sold units coming back and eating into the bottom line? They are buying time until the 65nm parts are in the channel couple of months from now. Then they can announce the price drop. The 3 year warranty thing was definitely to buy them time until the 65nm parts come on line. Then as defective units come in for service, they can replace the mobo with the new one and not worry about the thing coming back again for service.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #118 on:** July 11, 2007, 09:52:33 AM »

I posted this about 5 times on GAF, it makes zero business sense for a price drop this year. Why would you GIVE away 100 dollars of pure profit? You're going to get people to buy your machine this Christmas anyways (due to the holiday season and the Halo 3 release). There doesn't need to be any incentive. Save the price drop for March/April '08 when sales slow down and the twntysomethings are getting tax refunds.

Especially now with that 1 billion dollar write-off on repairs, it made no sense.

Say you did a 100 dollar reduction and it increases sales by 30% here on out (all numbers grossly rounded):

Month .... w/o cut .... w/ cut
Jul/150k/200k
Aug/150k/200k
Sept/150k/200k
Oct/200k/260k
Nov/500k/650k
Dec/1.2m/1.56m

Total/2.35m/3.05m

So, you gain about 700k in sales and sacrifice 200 million dollars in pure profit to do it. Even if you optimistically slide the baseline sales up (due to crazy Halo hype) to the 3 million mark and then bump up the percentage to 50% increase in sales (due to price cut), that leaves you with a 1.5 million increase in userbase versus a 300 million dollar loss in revenue.
