Moin,
für mich deutet tatsächlich einiges drauf hin, dass MS zur E3 etwas Neues zeigen wird. So zeigen die Zahlen, dass, entgegen MS´s Aussagen, der Stern der 360 trotz Kinect und neuem Dashborad an Anziehungskraft verliert, was sicherlich verständlich ist. Das zeigt sich daran, dass man im Vergleich zum 1.Quartal 2011 in diesem Jahr in der IEB Sparte massive Verluste gemacht hat und sich die 360 deutlich schlechter verkaufte (
http://www.onlinewelten.com/games/x...itten-quartal-48-prozent-eingebrochen-113237/).
Sofern das Gerücht um das Bundle mit 99 Dollar Konsole stimmt (
http://www.computerbild.de/artikel/CBS-News-Xbox-360-Microsoft-Abo-Modell-USA-Kinect-7482979.html), scheint MS noch schnell so viele 360 wie möglich an die Leute zu bringen. Die Gerüchte um eine Produktion der X3 gießen da natürlich zusätzlich Öl ins Feuer (

Es scheint so, als ob MS die Lager leeren will und sich langsam auf die Produktion bzw. Lagerung der X3 konzentriert.
man kanns auch etwas übertreiben
