Pixel Enemy writes: We made a meme! In this episode Mark, Dan, and Jay “The Captain” Barbosa talk about how their Sonic Riders clip has been turned into an internet meme, the effects Microsoft Kinect will have on the motion control market, the new Xbox 360 controller, and the price increase to Xbox LIVE.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
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.
This video podcast :-)
Yea pretty funny! On topic fucking 360 man. They love to mess up on shit and keep remaking and make you buy new products that should have worked to begin with! I am just saying. If ya want to rip off people learn from them. They are laughing to the bank!
we have been over this already.but there is no justification for charging $10 dollars more.and there is definitely a reason why they announced it before halo reach release.it's a plain old cash run.
every multiplatform game including call of duty,can be played for free on ps3.and mentioning ps+ when you aren't REQUIRED to have it to play games online was a fail on the xbox gamers.
psn is free.xbl is $60 dollars.take away multiplatform games and the only reason to pay $60 dollars is to play microsoft exclusives like halo,gears,forza etc.
is that a good enough reason?
as for kinect,gamers already know how i feel on that.microsoft could have done voice commands and gesture control using Vision Cam and a headset.but they are abandoning that camera like all their other hardware.and the new xbox 360 controller serves no purpose.and it was dumb of them to lose the color on the buttons.that's a fail.shades of gray?come on.
... I won't be buying this Kinect.. I have my reasons & I shouldn't need to tell you why.
Oh, i got disagrees lol.. Okay,
~ The tech demostrations speak the truth.
I'll leave you with that. :)
Come on if kinect take's off and sell like 10mil in 1 month i give up on people all together lolz.
