With new generation looming ahead, we are looking back at the console's journey of six and a half years through software releases, critical and user appreciation.
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
Crackdown 3 the game of all games.
All I wanted was Fable 4 :/
And 70 months of back peddling and broken promises.
Weak article. Even if we had a meaningful conversation about 78 months of Xbox, it's already a fail because the writer excluded all the games rated below 70%. Sorry. That's a FAIL. It's only telling half the truth or partially the truth.
If we were rating a basketball player and the only stats presented was the 2 or 3 pointers he made, but not how many shots missed, that's not truthful stats. Only half of it.
Commentors can sit here and blah blah blah about first comments or trolls. Instead of the real truth about Xbox quality game releases that should have improved over time like Sony has done. But the only thing that had been improved is SERVICES. Not games. Sony is going out on a high with AAA releases and a surprise upsurge of releases and future releases on PSVR like Saints and Sinners, Iron Man, Sniper Elite, Vader Immortal,etc.
Chatter away to try and deflect the truth. Again, you're waiting for better games in the future but had the audacity to try and call PS4 "wait station." Must be embarrassing huh? Because the article never named any Game of the Year titles at all for those 7 years.
I think Microsoft is a sub 55 million console per generation brand. That’s not bad at all and nothing to be sneezed at but when you go around beating your chest and your fans act like you’re 100 million plus console company and actually compete in the world market on the level of Sony and Nintendo then you deserve to get bashed around.
Xbox 360 had inflated numbers with the RROD. Orginal Xbox 24, 360 84 (minus 35% modest RROD failure rate), Xbox one 46-48 (estimate).
Pure speculation on my part but let’s see how next gen goes for Microsoft.
