Gabe Carey expresses his opinion on the recent report that Xbox One may later be patched with the functionality to play Xbox 360 games.
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.
Never too late. It would be a welcome addition for any Xbox One user.
MORE GAMES. NEVER TOOOOOOOOOOOO LATE.
I have to agree with this article. Unless MS can come out with an emulator now, then what's the point of later.
In a year or two the new consoles will be in full swing. The 360 is already to say the least winding down as more and more devs will start switching their production to the new consoles.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be done as their is a ton of back catalog games for the 360, but how viable is this effort, time and money if it won't be released for another year or two?
Why would it EVER be too late? Not to mention XB1 hasn't even been out 5 months yet...so no, it's not too late. This would also mean that all of Playstation Now/Gaikai is too late...I don't think very many people would say that any of these things is "too late".
Backwards Compatibility is a WELCOMED Edition and I want it NOW.
I know the X360 and Ps3 have HUGE install bases but I'm sick of games being HELD back so they can make a x360/ps3 version.
time to move forward with this Gen full speed.
having backward compatibility will boost the XB1/Ps4 install base and force Devs to go BIG on the XB1/Ps4
