A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
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.
doubt it...if anything a mass effect type thing will happen.
ms needs this to be a x1 only exclusive. i dont think that would ever happen. the more popular the game gets the more a 3rd party dev is gunna want it on as many consoles as possible.. in fact if they want to beat cod in sales they NEED multiplat.
before the weirdos begin with the 'fanboy' this and that i could really care less if it is or not. i'm just speaking from a business perspective and all signs point to multiplat asap. respawn dont work for ea or ms and they have the most control over the game so i thing multi will come.
No one will be getting it if the game does not make up for all the Millions they already spent tricking people into thinking this boring game is going to actually be good.
Beta -
Kill Drone with 1 bullet.
Repeat *20.
Die to stray Human.
Game over.
I think yes. MS not a stupid, and money talk.
"Pach-Attack: Will Titanfall 2 Be Xbox Exclusive?"
Probably. Sony fanboys have said over and over they are not interested in the game, so why release the game on the PS4/PS3?
Just kidding! Now seriously, I doubt Titanfall 2 will be exclusive... but if the game is as big as Gears, Microsoft will probably pay for it to continue exclusive or even a timed exclusive.
i dont think so. not that ms isnt good with keeping their exclusives, but there have just been so many 360 exclusives that eventually made their way to ps3. i owuldnt be surprised if 1 series (which the developer has already admitted, is not an exclusive trilogy) made its way to the ps4.
