Microsoft outsold rival by more than 4:1 in 2012, according to Chart-Track data
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
well this is good news for xbox 360 owners.Though i am amazed it took Nintendo this long to lose its ground; i mean i must admit i was always under the impression the wii wouldnt last this long.
Now japan is where Nintendo will maintain its market lead for sure and Europe is where Sony will hold its own.
Interesting how the console wars have developed over the years.
"The success of Microsoft and the Xbox 360 during the past two years highlights a radical changing of the guard in the game industry".
Couldn't of said it better myself. The xbox360 has definitely proved it has what it takes to go toe to toe with the industry giants. Congrats on a job well done MS. Now please go ahead and announce the next xbox. We want it.
"Set to" which means it hasnt happened. So in the wise words of the Wolf "Let's not start sucking eachothers d**ks yet..."
lol ppl care more about sales then quality games lol hahaha sad!
Apple iphones sell a gagillion yet i never will buy them because as an educated consumer i know Samsung Galaxys are better and you get more for your money (see what i did)
Wii sold so much because it was dirt cheap, casual bs and they made profit off of every console they sold due to it being so outdated and ppl celebrate that? I swear ppl on here really are bizarre!
Well done MS it the 360 will be the number one console in the two biggest and most inportant regions. Next gen they should be able to do the same with the world
