Sales of next generation games and consoles have exceeded Activision Blizzard's expectations, offsetting weaker than anticipated sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 software during the firm's Q4 2013. That's according to Kristin Southey, senior vice president of investor relations, via SeekingAlpha.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
I kinda figured the ps4 would sell this much off of price alone.
TBH I'm a bit surprised as well. I still anticipate we're going to have a "smaller" gen than last gen. We won't have all three consoles being great sellers, I can tell you that much. We'll need to wait for another year to see how this trends. Will PS4 CONTINUE to be sold out (it's been sold out for 3 straight months now)? Will X1's launch in more regions skyrocket sales?
Thats because Activision is a office full of $ crazed monkeys who dont give a sh***t about gaming......they are so out of touch that they resort to buying all the cards.
You think you can do better at the helm? Man take a step back and realize that activision is about making money, they cater the quick profitable software. You dobt need to buy their stuff, but your high moral for the gamers spiel is tiring.
Some companies make good games some bad, its for theconsumers to decide with their wallets.
It new they would sell fast, but it's faster than I expected. The xbox is just beyond what I expected and the ps4 is well beyond what I expected.
Good job to both parties really...
