In an interview with GameStop investors, Sterne Agee rep Arvind Bhatia mentioned he believes the next systems will release this year.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
I say PS4 Spring 2014
I really don't think it matters when Sony releases their next console if someone wants a PS4 they will get one, if someone wants the next Xbox they will get that. But with that being said the thing that worries me a bit for Sony if they launch say early 2014 is that damn COD I would bet money that Microsoft will make some exclusive deal with Activision to launch the next Xbox with the newest COD leaving Sony's PS4 out of the picture, other than this I wouldn't be worried about the PS4 launching a little later especially if it's better than the next Xbox.
I really hope so.. I cant wait for my next gen PS machine.. maybe ill get a 720 if it has good exclusives that dont involve aliens n guns
I hope they're right. I'm looking toward to a new era of gaming. I've waited long enough. Imagine how great it would be for the gaming industry when new consoles arrive. It will bring back all excitement to us deleted gamers. Also can anyone tell me how to get more bubbles. Thank you.
Its so easy to use a PC on a tv today that I wonder if people wil jump the console ship and go PC?
