Microsoft outsold rival by more than 4:1 in 2012, according to Chart-Track data
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
well this is good news for xbox 360 owners.Though i am amazed it took Nintendo this long to lose its ground; i mean i must admit i was always under the impression the wii wouldnt last this long.
Now japan is where Nintendo will maintain its market lead for sure and Europe is where Sony will hold its own.
Interesting how the console wars have developed over the years.
"The success of Microsoft and the Xbox 360 during the past two years highlights a radical changing of the guard in the game industry".
Couldn't of said it better myself. The xbox360 has definitely proved it has what it takes to go toe to toe with the industry giants. Congrats on a job well done MS. Now please go ahead and announce the next xbox. We want it.
"Set to" which means it hasnt happened. So in the wise words of the Wolf "Let's not start sucking eachothers d**ks yet..."
lol ppl care more about sales then quality games lol hahaha sad!
Apple iphones sell a gagillion yet i never will buy them because as an educated consumer i know Samsung Galaxys are better and you get more for your money (see what i did)
Wii sold so much because it was dirt cheap, casual bs and they made profit off of every console they sold due to it being so outdated and ppl celebrate that? I swear ppl on here really are bizarre!
Well done MS it the 360 will be the number one console in the two biggest and most inportant regions. Next gen they should be able to do the same with the world
