This thread in the AVS Forums seems to address typical Sony Marketing tactics, and the desperation of the Blu-Ray consortium. It also doesn't speak well of Best Buy's dedication to customer satisfaction.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
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.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
bla bla bla. my taunt talked me that a EB Games employeer pushed her to buy a Toshiba HDVD Player. can you stop posting such stupid senseless articles, which only purpose is to bash sony ?! ms pushes everyone to buy windows when you are buying a pc, who cares about this ??? noone, so stop spreading rumours (yes these are no facts) which has nothing to do with the ps3.
If this is true which I think it is then sony is sad.
I Didn't see this one coming, oh wait I did. Another useless topic about another useless article that that we knew would happen any way.
fake news ,sorry nothing interesting here
Lets post real articles and not made up lies on a forum. This sounds made up and probably is. I agree with #1. PRINT ARTCLES, not a users comments full of lies. I also went to Best buy this weekend and Blu-ray and HD-dvd were BOTH hooked up and both looked good. GET OFF THE LIES.
