David [from Bran & Brain] spoke with Gamasutra and was asked about why they didn’t decide to have their upcoming game published by Microsoft. He said that it’s difficult speaking with Microsoft than Sony.
One of the founding members of the Xbox team has questioned Microsoft’s multiplatform gaming strategy, and said they believe the Xbox hardware business is effectively “dead"
Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.
TNS: Based on its most recent ESG data, Nintendo boasts a remarkably low staff turnover rate of just 1.9%, with virtually no reported layoffs.
Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.
Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.
And you make profit off of outdated hardware.
I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.
This should make fans attending the ahow event happier as Bandai Namco is bringing some interesting game experiences to the convention.
Probably one of the reasons why Sony won the console war this generation
"B-b-but Jim Ryan said indies aren't relevant"
Yet it seems to be MS that are really pushing for indies
Meanwhile Sony showed less indies at E3, while Xbox was judged by lack of big titles. That wasn't the story 2 years ago when everyone was praising Sony.
i guess this depends on the dev tbh, we see some devs more supported by MS, others by Sony, it all depends.
