Microsoft shares trying to get above $20

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares have tanked 42% in the last 52 weeks. With Zune issues, great XBOX sales, and Windows 7 on the horizon -- what do you make of it all?

Only if the XBOX division at Microsoft could become their own company, then it would be an easy buy. Microsoft has sold more Xbox 360 games last year than in any other year, and said that 28 million consoles have been sold since the game's introduction three years ago.

Xbox 360's total sales now are 8 million more than competitor Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 game. Microsoft added that its Xbox Live online community now numbers 17 million members and more than $1 billion has been spent on Xbox Live in the past three years.

MSFT is trading at $19.97. It will go up, it will go down. That's what it does. IBM is also down about 45%

They're not the only ones hurting from this recession. Let's hope this year things slowly get better.

MSN is really tearing down MS profits.I think they will scrap more of it as job losses get higher in this bad economy.The 360 division however is just fine

Elven65584d ago

Not really, the MSN team is doing pretty well, they are deeply rooted in the Internet service provider scene in North America as well as Encarta, Ad Center, etc which are all successful.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

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.

darthv7221h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast23h ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood22h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK19h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast1h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake18h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast1h ago

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.

Armaggedon13h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast1h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
