Sony is set to release two new 'Playstation Tablets' this year, known as S1 and S2. The S2 will be more focussed towards games, due in part to its clamshell DS like design. The S2 will feature TWO 5.5" screens which will make it ideal for portable gaming. Moreover, the tablet will feature a digital touch-screen controller! Maxconsole managed to grab an image of what this controller will look like!
Finding Landmarks can be crucial for your Fortnite games, either for loot or for quests.
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.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
can't wait
Dual Shock support through bluetooth please and this thing will be a buy for me.
It does look really cool, but it's really tough to roll with those "virtual" touchscreen controls.
Not for me . The bigger the screen the better in my case . especially when you are going to split it in two for the sake of having a book like design .
Cool product but not for me
It looks...awkward?
