The official E3 Twitter Page has posted some very intriguing comments regarding the preparation and manpower going into making sure this year's E3 is one to remember. The show floor is jam packed this year and space is becoming extremely sparse following the latest comment from Twitter
''Close to 200 exhibitors are confirmed for E3 Expo 2011 with a show floor that's almost sold out! What are you anxious to see announced?
''We're putting down enough temporary Ethernet cabling for E3 to reach from LA to San Francisco and back''
''Nintendo's unveiling a new console at this year's E3! Have you registered yet?''
Expect booth babes, major titles, console announcements and a wave of megatons ensuring that the sparkle and circus of E3 has triumphantly returned. We watched in horror as you were close to death, but now your back and stronger than ever. Welcome back, old friend.
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 part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
E3 is back.
The glitz and glamour has returned.
Feels like the E3 of old. Really enjoy seeing the leaked pics every year of demo stations etc being shipped into the convention center ahead of E3. :)
Wii 2 will be amazing.
I personally had no faith in Nintendo after the Wii but this will change things.
Realistic Zelda day 1 buy for me.
