VGChartz Reports for the Week ending Dec 15, 2007, Worldwide Sales were:
DS: 1,392,797
Wii: 523,568
360: 502,902
PS2: 491,520
PSP: 466,682
PS3: 450,055
Interesting to note some PS3 Multiplatform are out selling it's 360 counterparts in global sales, such as Fifa 08 (792,542 Total sales on PS3 vs. 711,592 Total sales on 360) , Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (666,809 Total Sales on PS3 vs. 578,373 on 360), etc. However the big games such Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed have bigger sales on the 360 globally.
Interesting to see Uncharted was ranked #12 overall Globally selling almost 100 K, yet it wasn't the highest PS3 games, that honor goes to Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3), which outsold all other PS3 games and 360 games for that week.
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" -
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
