Dealspwn writes: This week on Game Buzz we get stuck into the news that both Watch Dogs and Driveclub have been delayed, with two of next-gen's big hitters pushed back into 2014. We ask what this means for Sony in particular and how the playing field appears to be balancing out for the launches of the PS4 and the Xbox One in a few weeks.
Have the recent delays changed your mind? Are you getting a PS4? An Xbox One? Both? Neither? Give the Game Buzz a listen and hit us up with your views in the box below.
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
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.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
The only actual sole PS4 delay is Driveclub, Watchdogs is delayed on all platforms so dubbing The PS4 "Delay station 4" is truly just flame baiting.
Given that the Watch Dogs delay will affect Sony more than MS -- Sony had after all prepared official bundles for the PS4 inc. WD -- and Driveclub is a Sony exclusive, I'd say it was a pretty fair title.
Also, it's really hard to make a pun out of 'delay' and 'Xbox One'.
Is it really flamebait? If people are getting their knickers in a twist over a pun as benign as this, I'd say that speaks more to the maturity levels of those fans than anything else.
@Fuzzy pixels
Watch dogs delay was not Sony's decision. How does it speak for maturity level of people who are telling the truth. The bottom line is only one ps4 exclusive has been delayed.
What it shows is how eager some people are to pounce on anything negative about sony or ps4. With so much positive feedback about the PlayStation its obvious some people just cant stand it.
