And yet people say that MS does nothing good for gaming but here is an example of something that proves those people wrong

I think people with a level head simply want MS to do better and will point out their deficits such as not having enough of an exclusive library. No one in their right mind would say that making gaming more accessible is a bad thing. Maybe they can share some of this tech with their competitors or at least encourage them to try something similar.

Kiwi661974d ago

I'm talking more about the people who don't like anything ms/xbox even something like the adaptive controller

Ausbo1973d ago

Don’t worry. There are people here that will turn this into a negative

SyntheticForm1973d ago

There's literally no way this can be spun into a negative.

Endeavoring to make gaming possible for people with physical impairments so that they can have fun too is a noble pursuit.

End of story.

RazzerRedux1974d ago

That is truly awesome. Well done, Microsoft.

Kiwi661974d ago

Its cool how it uses the existing controls for the wheelchair

IRetrouk1973d ago

This is great, we need more of this from the industry, something everyone should get behind.

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

The golden age. No ESRB*. No ratings at all. It was glorious.

*I know the ESRB was formed by the industry to prevent others from stepping in and taking control.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils11h ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 12h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Nacho_Z2h ago

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”

Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.

repsahj1d 11h ago

It would be even stranger if the headline was that the Switch 2 wasn't selling. XD

raWfodog16h ago

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying but obviously others don’t agree.

wesnytsfs1d 16h ago

I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.

repsahj1d 11h ago

Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.

I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
