The Magnavox Odyssey was showcased on the BBC 's Tomorrow 's World 50 years ago today. It was a basic but visionary design, and led to today's multi-billion-pound industry.
PlayStation x PUMA orders open April 18, 2024, Priced between $100 - $120!
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.

"video game console" is a very loose term to describe this thing. It played pong, albeit poorly, and then a bunch of other games that required the use of overlays on the TV to give the appearance of different games.
Let’s see
Uses a cartridge…..check
Hooks to tv……check
Controllers…..check
Doesn’t play anything but games…..check
Sounds like all the ingredients of a console….check
Actually the Fairchild Channel F is the first home video game console to include interchangeable cartridges.
I remember watching Tomorrow's world every week, i loved it. especially when they did the world reveal of the "compact disc" lol
It looks like the next Bethesda game.
