Yesterday IGN revealed the results of a poll run by IGN UK, which asked IGN readers about what they’d like to see at the next-gen Xbox reveal event. Microsoft effectively did the opposite of what respondents told IGN, focusing on the system as the entertainment centre of the home, as opposed to a gaming device.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
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.
Thought it would be higher....wait till people really understand
respect to Adam sessler for trying to get MS to just come clean
so what we know...every game is linked to an account..basically you cannot just pop a game in and play offline..ms have stated there are advantages to linking games to an account its so you can log in anywhere...bullshit
every game is linked to an account so you cannot get round the no lending..every game has to be checked online first before you can play ..thisis so MS can check that only the account holder who bought the game is infact playing it ...you can go to a friends download the game from disc and log in on your account to play but when you leave if your friend wants to continue playing he already has the game data downloaded onto his system now..but he has to log in on his account and pay Microsoft a fee to unlock the game as obviously when you get home you have to log in on your account to play any of your games as two seperate Xbox ones cannot be logged into one account....hence the name Xbox ONE
what has angered me is the way Microsoft have worded this rubbish thinking that we as the consumer are stupid id have more respect if they told it how it is
75% seems a little too low from what I've seen around the net.
Xbox, you fail.
