Dave Perry, the developer supreme behind such titles as Enter The Matrix And Earthworm Jim, likes both PS3 and Xbox 360 a lot. When it comes to Wii, on the other hand...not so much.
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" -
i hate to be harsh but i just don't like the Wii. nothing it does is appealing to me. and i vowed to never play another Mario game again. i played Mario so much, i think i burned out.
everyone i know that has a Wii loved it for a month and haven't played it since. it's fun for about a week. i think when it drops to about $100-$75 i'll get one. but till then.........ps3/360 it is
the biggest albatross for Nintendo games, is Nintendo games. When that ship leaves harbor.....well we know what happens next.....all of us have owned Nintendo consoles in the past...and all of us know where they are now - if we're honest.
Nintendo caught a lot of people off guard with a left hook, nifty controller, and low pricepoint this round, and they are reaping those early benefits, but all good things come to an end, and therein sets the inevitable reality.
1 maybe 1.5 years max this will continue. I'm still playing SSBB on my friends Wii when it comes, but there's no need for me to go buy one - it's not like I'll play it when there's no one around.
shiny fell off after earthworm jim for the genesis.
Wow! Enter the Matrix? Absolute movie license sh1te.
Perry is an awesome guy but I read an article a while ago where he bashed both the ps3 and 360 because they focused more on graphical power more than game play much like the wii.....maybe he realized that a controller gimmick can only last so long when you have basically 7 year old hardware to work with......
