Because huge conglomerates pay him to predict sales, so if they keep paying, he has a job, unfortunately.
Too bad he's consistently wrong. Anyone actually remember the last time he was spot on about...anything?

My body will be ready by then.I'm guessing this is essentially their first E3 direct since it's around the same time.

Disney could have stepped in.
Disney: "Slave, you better make games for my Wii U. The Force is with Nintendo!" Pointing at the contract EA signed.
EA: "Oh, snap ... I forgot about that contract I signed ..."
LOL
You know....after reading that post I imagined Mickey Mouse in bdsm with a whip. >.<

It'd be all well and good but... these people don't seem to be petitioning for sonic to be on more platforms, they seem to be doing it to get sonic from the Wii U.
Seriously, they're all "i hate the wii u, it stinks!" sorta people. *sigh*
Believe me, it has nothing to do with these people actually liking the Sonic games. It has to do with them hating Nintendo. When was the last time you heard about people going crazy over Sonic? When was the last time you heard of stores having midnight releases for the next Sonic game? When was the last time Sonic was getting nominated for GOTY? I'm not saying the games are bad or anything, in fact I've liked a lot of Sonic games. Even the 3D ones, but the series has seriously fallen from where it used to be back in the day.
Same thing happened with Bayonetta. Think about it for a minute. How much did you ever hear about Bayonetta after the first one was released? Did it seem like it had some sort of colossal sized fanbase that treasured it as if it were the greatest thing ever? Because I never did. In fact, I barely ever heard jack about Bayonetta. It was a good game that got decent reception and so-so sales. It doesn't have anything to do with the games themselves.

I don't suppose you guys have armor tips for me? I got MH on Monday and Ive been wanting to know what kind of armor is the right piece of armor for battle. I got my Great Sword to a Buster Sword + and I farmed for Mega Potions, farmed ore, farmed bugs like crazy and killed the big blue bear looking monster 7 times, but I haven't done anything for my armor pieces. I really don't want to spend my currency on armor because in my mind the armor made from monster pieces seem more useful than buying armor.
Man, this game can take a long time to master and get better items, maybe because I'm not hunting with a team but these monsters seriously can take so many blows, even my buster sword is not enough damage.
The rule of thumb when looking at armor sets in MH is to look at their skills. If you don't know what I'm talking about, basically ever piece of armor has some sort of numerical values in certain skills. All of the values of each of your armor pieces are added up in the end and, usually, if any skill reaches a sum of 10 then that skill is activated for positive or negative. To put it simply, armors of the same set are designed to work together so that when you have all five pieces there will be abilities that will activate. These abilities can be anything from increasing your attack, endurance, defense, evansion, etc. They can also decrease your abilities if it's a negative skill.
Since you're in low rank, my advice would be just to proceed on a bit until you fight some more monsters and more armor sets get opened up to you. Then look through your options, find something you like, and try to stick with it as best as you can until high rank. Make sure to pick an armor set with abilities that compliment your weapons/play style.
As for the second part about monsters taking a long time. That's normal. Plus you are playing multiplayer so the monsters are stronger and have more health. You mentioned your buster sword not doing enough damage. You're using the Great Sword right? Are you using the charge slash? If that's not your primary means of attacking with the Great Sword then you're using the weapon wrong. The GS can dish out huge amounts of damage but only if you're using it correctly. It should never be used as a combo weapon.

My theory is that EA will be one of the publishers that will go with DRM / Always Online on their next-generation games and that they wont support Nintendo until they let them. There are a lot of EA franchises that i enjoy, but i wont buy them if they come with DRM / Always Online, on any platform.
Very possible. My theory is that EA runs themselves in to the ground this gen with all of their stupid decisions and anti-consumer practices.

This is why we need the old games on eShop, c'mon Nintendo, how can you not see that this will just print money if you do it.
I've been saying this since day 1. Ever since I heard that the 3DS had a virtual console, I figured the original RBY games would be guaranteed to be on the system within the first year. What the hell Nintendo, what the hell. Those two little games not only have cemented them as the handheld king for generations, they also began what was essentially a worldwide phenomena that to this day has still not been replicated. I mean good lord, that horrible anime is STILL going on!!!! How can those two games not be available? I don't think there is any other pair of games they can release on the e-shop that would net them as much cash as those two.
Part of me is still hoping that they might announce them at E3 as a means to build up hype for X and Y this fall, but I kinda doubt it.

Here's what you should ask yourself, what is Crysis bringing to the table? It's another shooter, pretty much the most saturated genre on consoles right now. Is it some sort of innovative shooter that's bringing something new to the genre? No. Crysis is known for its pretty graphics and that's it. And people are really wondering why this game failed to meet their expectations? The shooter genre is simply over saturated right now and I honestly think a lot of gamers are getting fatigued by it.
You shouldn't feel bad for the developer. They're releasing a game in a highly competitive market and their game isn't bringing anything to the table. It deserves to bomb. I hate CoD for a variety of reasons, but at the beginning of this gen they brought something new to their genre and it's stuck. I may not like CoD but I see that. Just because a genre is popular, doesn't mean you can put out a mediocre product and expect it to do well.
As for EA in general, they've yet to wow me with anything in the past several years.

Biggest game on the WiiU by far and one of the very best. With the WiiU's current line up, you're only hurting yourself by not having and playing it.
