my bet is the american conference in september. perfect time to do it. all the publicity and to announce at $299, jaws will drop.

on a sidenote, did you notice how the japanese gamers rated the 360 conference better than the sony one? this train is just starting to pick up steam.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, say that again smerf01? Better yet, link it! If that is true, $ony should start to be concerned if the Japanese are more impressed with M$ than with the home grown unit.

[zCraven15]

[Gee]

sony conference-31.5%
i don't know what they're saying...-26.2%

They were talking about the conferences between the two companies,not the consoles,there is a difference.Doesn't mean that the Japanese won't buy the PS3 just because they didn't like the conference.
A poll conducted by a Japanese news service among 1,000 gamers found (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=5893) that only two percent of respondents picked the Xbox 360 (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3140496) as their most-wanted Next Gen console. The leader, by an order of magnitide, was PS3, with a fan base of sixty percent.
Japanese consumers never (http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=15959) really got into the Xbox: about 460,000 units have sold in Japan since launch. To put that number in perspective, think about this: the PS2 sold twice that...in the first two days.
So Microsoft and the 360 have a tough fight on there hands in the land of the rising sun.

that's a no-duh. but that's not what i'm saying. look, i'm not saying that all of a sudden all of the sony fanboys in japan are now going to go get an xbox360, i'm just saying that it's impressive that an xbox conference was more impressive to japanese gamers than a sony one.

that's all i'm saying. i know the facts. i already know it's going to be hard, and if you watched my posts, you'd know that i wouldn't make such a blatently stupid remark as saying that out of nowhere the 360 just changed the opinions of an entire country of gamers.

here, i'll quote myself.

see, i never said they rated the console better. just like you said, the conference.

just backing my posts :top:

My post was expanding on what was posted in this thread and how the Japanese have excepted the 360.

I'm sorry if my post caused any confusion and it was 4:08am when I posted it.

sorry, i thought you were posting that i said that the poll was telling which console the japanese gamers now prefer. i don't even want to see that poll...lol...

[gamergurl]

i really hope that they officially announce it soon

[Grindstone]

November 4th was never official, and neither is the $299 mark. Say it until you're blue in the face zCraven15, it will not make a difference until something official is announced. Then you can jump on your bandwagon about "I was right!" Until then, it is only speculation.

And Gee, they should retake that poll now that the conferences have passed. I bet the 2% has risen.

[Cyclone268]

I really hope that it comes out november 4th cus then all us kids that have to go to school on moday can play it all weekend! :)

I'm sorry if my post caused any confusion and it was 4:08am when I posted it. the japenese seem only to care about the ps3 beacause on a poll that said which next generation system is most anticipated in japan and only 2% of japenese gamers wanted the 360 :fight:

yeah but you have to remember that poll was taken before the Tokyo Xbox Summit, where quite alot of Japanese gamers and deve3lopers were impressed with what the Xbox360 had to offer. I think if the poll was redone now the figures would be different. I'm not saying the 360 would rise above the PS3, but it would certainly do better than the 4% it got :)

well i hope they do price the xbox360 at 299 that would be great. and like agent x said itz out nov 4 so go out and get it !!
