Ross @ FG: This week on the Podcast, Greg and Rossko discuss their rather exciting trip to Nintendo HQ in Windsor along with their thoughts on Zen Studios’ Star Wars Pinball. Who nerded out the most? Well, let’s be honest, they both did.
Elsewhere Greg discusses his thoughts on a new multiplayer Resident Evil game in Project Resistance, along with Paul’s concerns (shocker). We also discuss the upcoming Last of Us Part II media event, what we’re hoping will be announced and just when on earth the game will be coming out. Sean’s date is rather realistic, Paul’s hopefully isn’t.
We also talk what’s been revealed from this week’s Tokyo Game Show, including more talk on Death Stranding and the Final Fantasy VII Remake and talk Apple Arcade, is it enough to make us want to jump ship to iOS? We discuss. Finally there’s a massive shock in the Trivia Challenge, changing everything you thought you knew about our weekly quiz.
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.
You'll know of EGX. You'll know of MCM Comic Con. Today the two events have confirmed that they'll be coming together under one roof
