Microsoft crushed Sony at E3

[daze23]

you have unlimited bandwidth at home?

"unlimited bandwidth"? no. I'm limited by my connection speed, as well as the physical limitations of my modem, router, cat-5 cables, etc

I don't have any kind of "download limit" though

Bottom line is that 100 dollar price difference with no restrictions and positive PR will have Sony looking good business wise with PS4 revenue.

I think MS stock will take a hit once those XB1 sales don't meet expectations. In this new age of the internet and rediculous word of mouth, MS is taking a beating right now. Media preorder sales are reflecting that.

Mattrick gotta go and any suits who thought this was a good idea as well. Definitely doesn't help that anytime an MS Exec opens their mouth, they fukk up even more. You can't write this shyt.

Well the average consumer does. 64% of ISP in the US puts a cap on the Internet usage, so with all the entertainment devices set up in an household, and people more and more connected to the Internet, this will just cause more headache for them.

I bet your response would be, go to a different ISP or work more so you can afford more bandwidth. I'm sure that's exactly what M$ is thinking too.

That's why physical discs are still available

The Day One edition for the XBOX One is still available on Amazon and in a few stores around my way.

If they don't "sell out" by Monday morning then I think there might be cause for concern. I'm a little surprised they are still available.

I think it's bullshyt. Analysts gonna Analyze...some good points, but the moves Kaz has made this year have been great. My Sony shares are up over 40 percent since purchase.

Once those sales results from the PS4 pour in next April after this fiscal year ends in March 2014, Sony's outlook will be even higher.

I'm gonna be sitting on these shares for a while (no need to sell anytime soon), there's no where to go but up with the Playstation business getting stronger.

Good to a nikka.

My only fukkup was not keeping those Nokia shares @Hiphoplives4eva said to keep. That shyt was bottoming out on me bad, so as soon as the price got back to my purchase price, I had to cancel those shares. But if I held on to them, I'd be up 20% right now with that stock.

Yup, Nokia has a nice rise today and i made a nice chunk of change as a result. Im mad that I missed out of the Sony stock though, although M$ hasn't been to shabby either. Either way, i'm long AMD so here's hoping for a blockbuster christmas on all fronts.

Everyone should be looking at AMD IMO.

Their stock HAS to rise at this point.

this is something these big companies and ISP's will have to work out. the future is clearly digital downloads

I'm sure all the Microsoft shareholders on this forum will find this news fascinating.

Everyone else on the other hand...

we all know what will happen. The ISPs also provide cable services which is an excellent source of revenue for them. There is no way they will lose all that money by providing higher caps. There's a reason why those caps are set up in the first place.

The only thing that can happen is the money being passed on to the consumers so they end up paying more. Consumers will never win these battles, no matter how bad we want them to win.

I was thinking of copping some AMD since they got both the contracts on Sony and MS.

I think I'm going in.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I should've copped AMD stock when I bought my Sony shares earlier this year. fukk.
