Why would MS care about Japanese development support. It was a disaster for them this gen.

I think it has more to do with not wanting to totally cede the home territory to Sony/ Nintendo (face saving).

Need for Speed Rivals on current & next-gen No Wii U

EA thoroughly depress me, I was just playing NFS U, it looks and plays great, Criterion love the system said new games would launch "day and date" with other versions. Instead you get a DICE studio spin off, no U version. Then EA says they will support current gen up to 2017- four more years. They gave U five months of support. I don't believe it's just sales behind this, it's too much of an obvious u-turn blacklisting. Very sad.

"We're committed to Japan," Don Mattrick said in a roundtable attended by OXM. "We continue to build on our partnerships, we continue to build on our offerings for consumers inside of that space.

"We think it's an important market. And we'll continue building on the working investment that we've done over all these years."

After two massive fails in Japan, I'd pull out.

They'd lose Japan dev support?

Is that when E3 starts?

That is the official day that E3 starts; But Sony and Microsoft's conferences will be the day before; The Show floor isn't open until Tuesday at I think 1PM PDT.

May 29th!!! Sonic Lost World revealed!

Battlefield 4 and Killzone 4 look way more next gen than CoD.

BTW that new NFS looks amazing. This is why the Forza 5 screens didnt impress me, it just looked like another racer.

The one good thing about Xbox One is it sucks so bad, I will never have to buy it. Saving me good deal of money, I spend way too much on gaming, games , hardware. Thanks MS for sucking so bad that I want to quit gaming because the future looks so bleak.

This is quite good.  Aspro said something to this effect as well about at least not having to worry about getting it and being pleased to save the money on that.  I had almost decided I wasn't going to get the new Microsoft platform even before the reveal but that just made me feel much better about the decision.  I'm tempted to go for Nintendo-only gaming in the future (after PS3 and 360 are abandoned for good).  Hopefully there willll be enough on 3DS and U to keep me happy (right now the 3DS alone seems enough to do that for the foreseeable future).  I buy way more games than I can play anyway.  This will be a good thing for me.

Yes I would like to do the Wii U ,PC, and Vita combo which I already have. But I know  I'm crazy about this stuff so I will most likely get a PS4 it looks good at this point we will see.

A couple years from now is a long time. I see myself more inclined to buy a PS4 at a good price in that time frame, but who knows.

I don't know I always said if they get games that interest me I would purchase one; That is true for all systems. But I kind of hope it doesn't I can't afford it and I don't like some of what is confirmed like if you want to take the game to a friends house you have to pay full price just to get a new code to activate it on someone else's Xbox.
