It could end up being better than last years for Sony and Nintendo, although God knows what to expect from Microsoft other than this rumoured Halo remake and I've got zero interest in anything Kinect-related.

I hope Microsoft trolls Sony for the lols

Oh they will. This is the biggest strawberry float up ever in the gaming industry I'm sure Nintendo will do the same.

The NGP will be cheaper than expected to try to win back some customers after the last few weeks of disasters.
I predict a price between £250 and £275 which would be pretty amazing given the tech involved.

Microsoft will spend the entire show talking about gooseberry fool I have no interest in and acting like twats on stage with kinect.

Nintendo's new machine will be just good enough for me to consider getting it and I will once again buy something I don't really like or use.

Microsoft will no doubt get a few cheap shots in, but it's not really Nintendo's style.

Mattrick will clap at everything.
Iwata will fix his hair at least once.
Tretton will look noticeably uncomfortable, but we love him anyway.

I love how nervous Jack looks and sounds He has balls of steel to go out and represent Sony in this current climate.

I see what you're getting at, but there's a difference between a cheap shot and the example that you've given there.



"It's good, but it's not right."

Oh ok then.

I suppose we'll find out soon.

I'd be very surprised Sony would announce the price at this time. It seems far too early to give exact details. If anything we will hear more about cost at the Tokyo Gameshow
