I thought it was funny how MS didn't show ANY of their exclusives indepth at E3. It was pretty disappointing in my opinion, considering that they have plenty of exclusives coming out before the year ends.

They were showing off, and wasting time with games that will be available on PS3. How dumb was that?

To get Killzowned by Sony.

Well they debuted that hot dev. I guess that's the highest point of the conference.

my guess is to show people how good the games look on the cheaper console. I am confused why they didn't go in depth with Mass Effect or Bioshock though

Cause neither of those are likely to sell very well....certainly not as well as COD4 and the other multiplats they showed...likw GTA4....

the games they showed were the once that have massive hype behind them...which is a shame, because it is the unknown games that usually turn out the best.

Exactly. Instead of putting so much time in games like Rock Band, CoD4, AC, they should of showed more of those games. No 3 campaign footage? WTF???

Those games will sell well on both consoles though.

yeah they will....but something tells me most of the COD players are on the 360 and PC...being a shooter and all....and GTA4 will probably sell well on both consoles....but they used the GTA4 trailer to point out the fact that the 360 version would be getting exclusive expansions.

I honestly don't have any idea. It was a major flub on their part to shoot for the family market during E3. Casual gamers don't even know what E3 is, let alone pay attention to what games are announced. *shrug*

Their money would have been better spent on plain old advertising to get the casual market, not waste time during a hardcore show like E3 yapping about phallic controllers and big buttons.

Drop the price to 199 for the core, and advertise for the family friendly games... that's what they need to do. 199, 299, and 379 should be the pricing structure. Otherwise they're not even talking to the right crowd at E3.
