Waiting till E3 would probably be a little bit of PR suicide because they would lose a lot of attention in the general E3 deluge. And I think they've already been hurt a lot by the PS4 announcing first (unless all the rumours are true, in which case there only hope is to never ever tell us about it and hope someone buys one by mistake). I agree 26 days is a really weird timescale, but you do need to preannounce these things so that the news sites can prepare and anyone who wants to see it has time to find out about itluvd1 said:Ok... So why the 21th of may? I take it they already know what is in it, what it can do and what plans it has. So why announce that in 26 days it will make an announcement? That's just stupid, meaningless PR crap to hype up but how can it with nothing new. They could do the announcement now or just wait till E3. This is idiocy at it's worst.
Monster Hunter 4's already a 3DS exclusive, and to be frank not sure many people here want a new Mass Effect after 3. Fallout 4 and Red Dead 3 (which won't be called Red Dead 3) though, that would be cool.Tom_green_day said:They'll confirm non-always-on-DRM, preowned games are fine, the console is cheap, there are no social gimmicky things and Fallout 4, a new Mass Effect, Red Dead 3 and Monster Hunter 4 are all exclusives and then angels will descend from the heavens because it is too good for us all.
But in reality, they don't really need to try hard to beat PS4.
There's been a Red Dead 2?? Why have I not known this??Tom_green_day said:Red Dead 3
And yet, I'm not holding my breath for that. Unfortunately, what's been going on this gen, and being hinted at being worse in the next, has put me seriously in doubt for the next gen, and I don't really think it's needed yet. Gonna stick with my 360 and PC for now.Tom_green_day said:But in reality, they don't really need to try hard to beat PS4.
I agree with this. E3 this year will be a big year, with Nintendo shoving out it's heavy hitters, Sony showing the actual PS4 and maybe some surprises and Microsoft getting in Jay-Z. It would be better for Microsoft to get the console announcement out of the way so they can focus on games.BrotherRool said:Waiting till E3 would probably be a little bit of PR suicide because they would lose a lot of attention in the general E3 deluge.

We don't even know if they will do that though. Sony's reveal of the PS4 specs was rather unusual during its reveal conference.Colt47 said:They got an uphill battle to deal with after all the insanity that has been going on with the Xbox 360 dashboard applications and advertising. At least we will finally get to see the finalized specifications on the console.

Hmmm... not a bad name. Wonder if just referring to it as the "Infinity" will catch.Timmey said:Not sure if its been linked in here but rumor has it

if it's gonna be called that, it's gonna be hard to name the next console that replaces it afterwards. I highly doubt this is it's actual name, unless MS has a better subtitle to name their inevitable next-next gen console than infinity.Timmey said:Not sure if its been linked in here but rumor has it

I got a PS3 almost exclusively for Red Dead Redemption! Because of it I suppose I also got to play Demon's Souls and Uncharted 2, Infamous, and God of War 3, but really RDR was the first and only reason I had for getting a console. Without it, my PS3 would not be sitting up gathering dust once I tired of all those games.thiosk said:But why is it all the really neat stuff is on Steam, and the only game I missed out on by not having a playstation or xbox was Red Dead Redemption? Because this gravy train is leaking.
