Gaming Target has updated their monthly look at the battle of the console exclusives. The Xbox 360 continues to lead with 91 exclusives, with the Wii in second with 76 and the PS3 in last with 44. The list now includes publisher information, release dates and Metascores.
They have also spoken with Crossbeam Studios, the enigmatic developers of Wii-exclusives Orb and Thorn. The developer has stated for the record that both games are still on track but Thorn may appear on the Xbox 360 as well.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
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.
you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)
MS: "Xbox services and content without AB up 1%, with AB up 62%. Hardware down 31%. In total a loss of 350 mill."
darthv72: "Seems about right."
MS: "Excuse m ..."
darthv72: "I don't hardly play on my consoles directly."
MS:
I can tell people like you are an absolute minority..
If service is up means their fans and fanboys accepted this model and subscribed to it. The near future you will see a big decline because the service is saturated.
But that's been ms for years. When things aren't going their way they try to change the way things are said. For instance console sales are down, they stop telling how many sold instead telling us how many hours spent in halo or headshots. So it makes sense console sales down just say people are playing on more devices then previous. What they won't say is how many xbox players jumped ship to ps5.
Hardware sales are so bad that Sony and Nintendo are blowing the sales off the water with their hardware.
If Xbox are losers, others aren’t..
Xbox already tried everything with Xbox live then subscriptions went down so much that they had to find something else. Their fans subscribed then reached saturation rather quickly.
Hardware and exclusive games is where it’s at! Keep gamers excited, announce decent software and people will support you
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.
Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"
Microsoft: "why's that"
Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'
Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk
It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
The only reason I'm approving this is because a lot of other "list" of exclusives have come to light and this one seems to be at least realistic since it seems most of this, if not all, are confirmed.
The most accurate exclusives list out there.
Xbox 360 has the better RELEASED Exclusives but the PS3 has the better UNRELEASED Exclusives and the Wii well i don't think they should even really be compared its a different type of console then PS3 and 360. Thats my opinion for games that i like.
Edit: To the people that disagreed with me how can you disagree are you going to tell me what games i like lol? I swear sometimes people disagree just to disagree lol.
Xbox 360 Titles that are multiplatform...please remove:
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (It has been announced for PS3 by Pete Hines)
- Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of World War II (PS3 title too)
- Eternal Sonata (PS3 too)
- Two Worlds (Coming to PS3, confirmed by Topware's CEO)
PS3 titles missing:
- 2 Days 2 Vegas ( Will be PS3 exclusive)
- Brave Arms
- Chain Limit
- Cipher Complex
- Fury
- Metro 2033
- Motorstorm 2 (I have confirmation from GDC from the developers if needed)
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma
- Redwood Falls
- Soul Calibur IV
As you can see their list is bias.
Plus the "released" of course shows Xbox 360 with more titles cause its been out a year longer.
Here we go, list wars are such a bore.
Yet lets see if we can get through this thread in an orderly fashion.
Only one game was enough to make me buy a PS3 and that was Heavenly Sword, if it was on the 360 thats where I would have gone, But on the bright side I can play a good amount of those 360 games on my PC and the rest on my Bro's 360.
Good time for gamers, good time for fan boys, good times all around.
Anyway I expect 200 posts by tomorrow don't let me down N4G :D
Wow and some one disagrees?, mind saying what u disagree to? heh heh at least u didnt take my last few bubbles by accident lol
@POG your right I dont think 2 days 2 Vegas is exclusive to anyone.
