Microsoft Corp expects its Xbox game console sales to outpace what it forecasts will be broader market growth next year, a senior executive said on Wednesday, projecting optimism despite dampened consumer spending.
Despite the global economic slowdown that has hit consumer demand, Microsoft expects the overall video game industry to continue growing next year as more people choose to stay at home, said Alan Bowman, Asia general manager of Xbox operations.
"Outpacing the market is a key measure, but we've also managed to broaden the market to include people who have never played video games before," Bowman told Reuters in a phone interview.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

This guy pretty much copied what Reeves of Sony said earlier in an interview about consumers choosing to spend more time at home than going out. Talk about copying the competition.
i hope Microsoft doesn't go all Nintendo
:(
Ms has already done a great job. The groundwork is already completed. Now add to that Jasper and good selection of games, both exclusives andnon exclusives will seal the deal for 09.
There is something very unlikeable about these guys from microsoft, big headed, cheesy faced yanks are just not something I would wish to choose to represent a company and that Aaron Greenburg has just got "smack me in the face" arrogance all over him.
