This Top Video Game Companies ranking is based on analysis of annual and quarterly financial reports published by a number of relevant publicly listed game companies. For companies that do not split out their game revenues, the analysis includes estimates, which may or may not be indicated explicitly. Revenues (GAAP) are restated to reflect Calendar Years, therefore do not necessarily match reported Fiscal Year results of individual companies. Revenues exclude hardware sales and other non-game sales to the extent publicly available. Microsoft and Sony estimates represent all Xbox and Playstation non-hardware platform revenues (including Xbox Live and PSN revenues respectively).
Playing a game can help improve your mood according to a recent study. Who knew!
It’s a form of escape like other entertainment just more interactive than most. Didn’t need a study to know this
Pretty obvious to me, my videogames are sometimes the main reason why I still havent put a bullet in my skull
It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.
Is Ubisoft board going to investigate themselves since they're the ones telling Ubisoft how to do less for more and push MTX over taking longer to make better games w/o them?
Honestly kinda glad all these AAA publishers are finally imploding, they've tainted this industry and took advantage of us too long. Die and don't come back
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.

Don't waste your time folks. Move along.
Interesting to see Microsoft more successful than Sony. Maybe focusing on PC as well as Xbox was the right call. This gap will only become bigger as Microsoft brings more 1st party games to PC and expands it gaming division's reach to its hundreds of millions of Windows 10 users.
Congrat MS and SONY on being #2 and #3 respectively. As a owner on both MS And Sony consoles and a fan of both, this is great news.
