Their numbers are recent, obviously haven't taken into account their continued lack of first party core support, are tainted by their interests in the mobile/tablet market as well as their plans for Windows 8. Microsoft is simply looking at the wrong information to base their decisions on. #2.1.1

@Brutallyhonest: Uh, you just got trolled. #1.3.2

Looks like someone already has an XboxOne. #1.1.3

One: They could, but when in recent memory has MS had a good E3 showing?

Two: Did you all know that the cheering in the audience was from people MS paid to cheer? #1.2.2

Pretty much. I mean, when you see the highlights, you can't blame him.

Sony never said that blocking used games was going to be left up to the publisher. #2.1.1

Their official statement is A)Always-online is NOT a requirement, and B)That 3rd party publisher thing was about blocking used games, and they said that the PS4 will play used games, but the thinking is that online passes will make a return. Also, I doubt Sony is going to have a forced game install as they were given hell for mandatory installs with the PS3. #1.1.1

Hmmm. What kind of game is this new IP from Remedy. What I saw was a trailer that barely even showed a concept. #1.1.4

Ok Evil, now you've really cemented the idea that you work for Microsoft. I saw twitter posts from Adam Sessler, Victor Lucas, and countless others who were all asking the same thing "Where are the games" and you're saying "XboxOne CLEARLY a gaming device." Really? You call spending 10 to 15 minutes of an hour long conference talking about 2 games and showing 2 30 second trailers an indication of a gaming console? REALLY?!

Honestly, I went into the... #1.5.6

You guys are seriously excited for a Halo TV show? Really? Wow. Now I've seen everything. #1.1.6

That's the funniest part, that Sony called it a slow news day. They either had inside info, or the Irony God is on their side today. Slow news day is the most accurate descriptor for the XboxOne reveal. #12.1.3

@maniacmayhem: The "wait until E3" mentality is the wrong mentality to have. This reveal has shown what MS is going to put their full force behind, and gaming is the last thing on their mind. At Sony's conference, which was 2 hours, about half of the conference was about games. Sony were talking to gamers, their console was designed BY gamers, and it's completely clear that the PS4 is a gaming console.

MS' conference was 1 hour long and not only did they... #1.1.5

Seriously. If they continue to charge for Live, and charge this pre-owned theme, I would pay to see people justify still buying this media box that tries to call itself a gaming console. #12.1.1

The reveal was just terrible, and then there's this.

So not only did we get 50 minutes about anything BUT games, not only was there no one there actually playing games, but it is confirmed that pre-owned games will have a fee on XboxOne.

The one thing we can be glad about is that Kotaku will be writing an article about... #12

This kind of thing is worth the power abuse though. Console reveals should be at the top of the list in terms of heat.

Still, WORST CONSOLE REVEAL EVER! #3.2.2

People though Microsoft would reveal a next gen gaming console. What we all got was an "entertainment" box that does sports and voice commands really well but... #2.1.18

They've already done it though. For example, when the PS3 was launching in Europe, they sent a boat across the lake with the 360 logo on it, they also sent out people to give folding chairs to the people standing in line for a ps3 and those people were wearing MS swag while handing out MS chairs.

The PS4 reveal? MS Tweets about how there was no console shown.

So, it's ok when MS does it, but hypocritical when anyone else does it? #4.2

@Blackdeath_663: What part of that tweet says anything remotely close to sounding desperate? #1.4.4

@Cueil: Major Nelson tweeted that and he is MS' public representative. Everything he says can be considered to come straight from the horse's mouth. #1.2.4

@slpknt6sic6: Not likely. Not impossible, but not likely. One, Nomura is a confirmed PS fan. Two, rumours suggest that VSXIII is going to be renamed and that Sony has helped fund the project, which eliminates all possibility of a multiplat. But as that is a rumour, nothing is certain. Still, the likelihood of MS stealing VSXIII at this point is slim to none as they have other things to focus on. #1.1.2
