CNET:
Expect Microsoft, in its last ever Consumer Electronics Show, to end its long run with more of a whimper than a bang.
The full Skewedcast crew back for this episode and Gareth, Justin, Michael, and JoeyZ at Skewed and Reviewed break down the latest entertainment news qith a focus at 40:00 on the Microsoft Studio Closures and how it impacts the game community and what can be done to help offset this negative trend.
Xbox has repeated the same terrible mistakes for over a decade. The reason is simple: its priorities are back-to-front.
ohhh man, the press really did not like those last closures, their having a field day bashing xbox,
anyway, ive got to nip off to the shops now, i've run out of microwave popcorn.
The only point to xbox is and always has been to take market share and money from PlayStation and Nintendo, but mostly PlayStation. It's been the goal since sweaty Steve Balmer said it himself.
I mean the motto "xbox, the most optional console ever made" was peaked years ago, people are just now taking a step back from deepthroating Phil to see what we've all been seeing for a long time now.
I’ve still got friends that main on XB. For their sake, I hope it sticks around. They’ve put everything into that ecosystem. It’s all or nothing.
I wonder if we’ll ever get back the level of competition seen during the 360/PS3 era?
TSA asks what is the future for Xbox.
They clearly never did, hence why they spent so many BILLIONS on other publishers as a last resort.
Sure, a plan to be a more hated game company than EA. Ubisoft were recently giving them a run for their money but I think Xbox have really knocked it out the park with their latest stunt.
Absolutely not, their whole plan is at odd with what MS wants
Phil wants GP to become big
MS wants to sell games and make billions
GP can’t be sustained with AAA games which take 3-5 years and 7 figure budgets. Only go put those games on GP day one. Why do you think games are coming out on other platforms?
People want a change and want Phil gone without realizing if someone new comes along they may want to change everything again so we just keep going in circles. Phil has to realize that and give clear message on the direction of Xbox
Hope its not all talk, lets wait and see, E3 still a bit far, I know some of u don't want next gen soon but me, I'm tired of my 360/Ps3, bring something new and exciting...
My money is that Microsoft will show off a new touch tablet, babble about Windows 7 Phone (lol), and brag about Kinect sales. If gamers get anything (big "if") it will be a new trailer for an already-announced game like Alan Wake DLC, Halo 4, or Fable Kinect.
ces isnt all about gaming. if they dont mention anything about the nextbox doesnt mean anything. they have other products they need to talk about as well. ces is mainly for tech enthusiast. tablets,phones etc...
ms ces keynot sucked. yay more sesame street sh%t
