It's time to add two more games to your library for free from the Epic Games Store.
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.
The developer of Garry's Mod has announced it is in the process of removing all Nintendo-related content from Steam Workshop after receiving a takedown request from Nintendo.
The title of this headline should say "one publisher" not "one developer."
For me I don't think Nintendo made a bad game for the wiiu. It had the most exclusives out of all 3 that I wanted but it just did not get the 3rd party support but I also think that Nintendo messed up by calling it the wiiu. Alot of people thought it was a Wii add on.
The wiiu was a good idea but I do think after owning the switch and wiiu the switch is the console the wiiu should of been.
I also think the 3rd party's were to blame on the lack of 3rd party sales though. For me I got cod and FIFA on the wiiu and compared to the 360 and PS4 versions at the time they looked the best but lacked content and why should someone buy a game with less content than on another consoles?
Going forward though I think if Nintendo can keep making the steps they are with the switch it could be a massive hit going forward and also set the base for having all their games on one console to. We all know when Pokémon comes out that sales will jump up alot esp in Japan and the switch also makes for a fully open world Pokémon game to which could be the best one we have ever seen for me the new Zelda is the best I have played with windwaker my 2nd best.
until nintendo ports over all their solid wii u titles then the wii u is a better buy at this point
