"Can we drop ours to $350:00?

Kaz Hirari - 5 minutes before E3 Press Conference

@greenpolyp Yeah - that went down like a lead baloon.

You could see the tumble weed blowing across the conference floor at that point - massive fail

LOL - XBone - didn't Microsoft see that abbreviation coming?

For the love of god.

There's a world of hate going on around here.

@zzamaro And they got absolutely panned for that.

I expect the same for this as well.

@RussellGorall What are you smoking dude?

Except the PS3 didn't have to compete with two brand new, state of the art powerhouse consoles built specifically for next gen gaming and multimedia - that's the difference I'm afraid - make no mistake, WiiU isn't gonna turn their fortunes around with these two behemoths around the corner.

I think this is the only reason Nintendo sell stuff by basically giving their hardware away.

The system is basically another book end and was DOA even before it hit shelves.

I've had RROD twice and my son has had 3 on his machine - we consider ourselves very unlucky but I've heard similar instances with friends who own 360's.

Even though the machine has given me great entertainment over the years, I can say with absolute certainty that I won't be purchasing any hardware from Microsoft ever again.

Unfortunately, I won't remember the great games I've played with the machine, only what a noisy, shoddy piece of tech it ended up being for me.

Not a great legacy for the company.

I honestly don't know who to shout at the most - developers for dropping this pos idea onto the gaming public at large in the first place, or the people who actually go ahead and get sucker-punched into purchasing it.

The mind boggles.
