New Game Console Success Isn't a Foregone Conclusion

Forbes - In the next few days, Microsoft is expected to announce their next generation console, dubbed the “XBOX 720” at this year’s GDC (Game Developer Conference). This is right on the heels of Sony’s recent PS4 announcement and lackluster sales announcements for Nintendo’s Wii U.

Seriously, people can't seem to comprehend this.

Its like they actually expect the PS4 and Durango to pull "current" 360 and PS3 numbers from launch onwards.

Keep in mind the PS3 didn't launch during the middle of a recession.

Nintendo's advertising for the Wii U so far has been abysmal and they haven't even released one of their triple A titles yet and it still outperforms last gen sales.That's impressive.

True or false, the new Xbox is going to ROCK

TheBrit4041d ago

Funny they say this is going to happen when I just read that MS skipped GDC all together.

MacDonagh4041d ago

The good ol' days are gone and they have been for a long time.

its hard to predict, but three console systems seems to be 1 too many.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Gladiator’s Arena review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Even though the Vampire Survivors influenced ‘auto shooter’ genre isn’t long in the tooth, I’m still surprised that it has taken this long for a Roman gladiator-themed rendition to come along – especially with a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 box office hit Gladiator imminent. It’s thematically perfect, with its circular arena in which one man stands alone against hordes of enemies, grabbing loot as they survive one wave to the next."
