Ok, I definitely will not be buying an Xbone at launch, probably not for a long time, and maybe not ever. Don't fuck this up Sony.

I've never understood the appeal of sim racers like Forza and GT. They get so boring for me after like 2 races.

I like them but I agree they are SEVERELY lacking on features to keep the game interesting. Especially Forza

To me the $499 price tag definitely rules out buying both systems until major price drops. I'm betting ps4 will come in at $399. Any more and it's too much, considering it doesn't come with the move eye.
I've been seeing some quotes of reliable people quoting parts costs for PS4 at $279 or so - low enough he thinks that they could do $299 or $349 in fact! And that same person was quoting parts for XBone at $447 or something where he expected $499 - which seems to have come true...

I don't think $399 is unlikely at all. $349 seems unlikely since PS3 hasn't dropped in price yet having them $50 apart seems off.

I'm a big car and motorsports fan, go to track days when I can and just love cars. Most of the ppl I know that are hardcore GT or Forza fans are car guys first, gamers second.

If I didn't love cars, I would think it is pretty boring too. Most ppl don't give a shit about driving a Porsche GT3 around Silverstone raceway... But I can do that for hours in gt/forza and love every minute of it

$349 would be a no brainer purchase, I doubt it will come in at $299 unless they really want to stop selling PS3s

Do they even know what size HDs are going to be in these?

Very fair. I'm just surprised how large a cross-section there is between car enthusiasts and gamers. Although I suppose sim racers are more about relaxing and just driving instead of really hardcore "gaming."

If Sony can come out the gate at 399 or lower I think they have this in the bag... Only thing that worries me is Sony's financial situation. They can't afford to sell at a loss I don't think.

What time is thier conference ?

Well do keep in mind, there is a chance for a price drop on PS3's announced today as well - but yea without dropping PS3's price down to $199 I don't see $299 happening even if they could afford it.

Can they realistically drop the PS3 price much more? I thought the system is still quite expensive to make.

Shrug, heard that in the past - but remember tech keeps rolling along and it's stayed steady at $300 for quite a while now - they probably have some wiggle room but thats entirely just theorycrafting on my part, no idea of the reality of how much they have.

Wow what a fail for microsoft. and the sad thing is that they seem not to give a shit that this generation their console will not sell. Its like they are so sure of themselves after barely squeaking out a victory over the Ps3 last gen. They only got a slight foothold and now it will be squandered again. What fools. I dont know who the fuck is calling the shots wit this shit, but my guess is that they are about to be fired soon. Because this shit is cringe worthy.
