    E3 just got less exciting. Wii U gets the stage to itself.

    http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/122/1220897p1.html

    After numerous leaks and suspicions about its alleged new console, Microsoft has issued an official statement regarding the future of Xbox. "For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360-and it's the best year ever for Xbox 360," the company said in a statement. The Xbox 360's mega-success means we absolutely, positively will not see or hear about the Xbox 360 successor at E3.



    "While we appreciate all the interest in our long-range plans for the future, we can confirm that there will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon," Microsoft told IGN.

    Seriously though, I rarely ever even watch anything from E3. It's always little snippets of stuff, it's never anything truly GOOD when it comes to brand new games coming our way and anything that is shown really well is usually immediately leaked online as well.

    Therefore, I have no need to waste my time actually paying attention to any of the E3 coverage. Before the internet was so all-encompassing, it was better, but E3 hasn't really done much for me in years.

    Doesn't matter if it's fun to watch on TV, it provides a lot of information...which is the point.

    Oh, I've never watched it on TV. I'd look at stuff after the show was over. I certainly never saw a point in actually watching the streaming coverage of it like some people do. There's never anything THAT important at one of the shows.

    Really, though, I just don't gush over video games like I used to because there are few video games coming out that I'm head over heels for anymore. Borderlands 2 might be good. Diablo III might be good. Besides that, I'm really meh about everything else anywhere close to coming out soon.

    I never watch the live stuff but like Darius said there is a lot of good info that pops up. I just go to gametrailers and get all the E3 stuff I need, which is video footage of games.

    Mors hates darn near everything and would probably find something to complain about in regards to booth babes, cotton candy and the sun rising.

    Leaked document says X-Box 720 to come out in 2013 and retail for $299. Doc mentions Kinect glasses, OnLive acquisition, Blu-Ray compatibility, and more. The doc dates to 2010 so some plans may have been ditched/changed.

    On the surface, agreed completely. However, is that the price no matter what or is that the starting price similar to what we have now, with different prices for different hard drive sized consoles? I haven't read the document they had in the story yet, so if the answer's included in there, I'm not sure.

    I find it hard to believe that is a legit price (unless you are buying a completely watered down version that is no better than the 360). However, MS's strategy to beat Sony to the market could once again all but seal the deal in the next "console war".

    I read a few year's ago when talk of the next-gen was in it's infancy that Sony and Microsoft were going to take cues from Nintendo in the next cycle in not giving us the latest and greatest tech because they saw Nintendo be successful with really old hardware and both companies took a bath for a few years just to get market share while Nintendo made profit on every single Wii.

    That worked for Nintendo because they went after casual players and families. That will not work for Microsoft and Sony simply because the majority of their customers fall into the "core" category in which graphics do actually matter.

    I also don't see Microsoft being able to release a console for that price. If they do, though, they will all but assure outselling Sony in the next generation again because we all know that whatever Sony launches, it'll initially cost an arm and a leg. But as mentioned, that document is 2 or 3 years old, so chances are things have changed.

    So I finally got around to finishing reading all 56 pages in that document on the 720. If MS can pull off all that they talk about in that document and do everything they want to do, goddamn. The PS4 will have to give you a blowjob while you play for Sony to keep up with MS in the next-gen if MS pulls all that off.
