Publisher says upcoming movie and game brand can be as big as Tolkien's mammoth franchise.
Sega has compared the family appeal of its upcoming movie adaptation 'The Golden Compass' to that of 'The Lord Of The Rings'.
"My Arcade teams up with the legendary Atari® brand to introduce the Atari Gamestation Pro with 200+ games! The Atari® Gamestation Pro is available for pre-order today, at select retailers for delivery by October 31, 2023 for an MSRP of $99.99 USD." - My Arcade and Atari.
Pro and My Arcade is like Saying Walmart Deluxe. If you pay 99 for this... you are gonna get robbed.
Expect to see this on amazon via price drop or next holiday firesale for 19.99
My Arcade Products = Landfill Material
My Arcade (Company). = Landfill Material
Microsoft's Phil Spencer said in testimony that the company may exit its gaming business if Game Pass subscribers off consoles don't increase a lot by fiscal year 2027.
Yeah, hopefully, we don't see that happening.
Otherwise, we will get "Sony's you need two jobs to afford this back".

Last time it was they might be leaving the console business and maybe be 3rd party like Sega. Which would be a better option in IMO considering the studios they have now. Sell the games on PlayStation, Nintendo and steam, as well cloud gaming on other devices
I've been thinking this myself. How long can they keep pumping all this cash into Xbox and Gamepass with no real return? They'd be much better off becoming 3rd party and getting their games, and even GP, on as many devices, including competitors consoles at this stage.
Those leaked documents showed how much it cost or could cost for a game to be on game pass. It's kinda expensive from the looks of it.
@bloop
They have nearly infinite money, enough to knock a competitor like Sony out of the market.
That’s how long.
I didn't mean that in a literal sense Palitera. Business is business and it doesn't matter how much they have in the bank. They're in this more than 2 decades now, spanning 4 generations and have only had relative success with one console, the 360, which was partly due to the PS3 release being delayed multiple times. They've finished last every time so someone's going to pull the plug eventually. Snapping up all these publishers and developers is a desperate last move in trying to stay in the game. They'd be better off going 3rd party at this rate, unless Series consoles literally start flying off shelves.
I don't think they even want to be in the hardware business, although it's strange they make so many Xbox controllers (but they also make for good PC/Steam controllers as well).
@palitera what a foolish take @bloop you think MS doesnt want GP on ps5? LOL
Is having them still in business, but NOT buying up the entire gaming industry an option? That's what I want...
To be fair people always go on about that quote from Sony in the wrong way
They didn’t say it in a way like “tough shit, get two jobs if you want it” it was “this thing is so good you’ll WANT to get two jobs” . Still cocky as f*** but no where near as bad.
It was a comment filled with hubris and it haunted them at the beginning and near the middle of gen 7.
@-FOXTROT
oh it was bad like here is a quote from ken kutaragi :
(On PS3's price) "It's probably too cheap."
(On PS3's price) "We want consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one.'"
yeah it was bad and they have learned their lesson , that same with microsoft with xbox one and nintendo with the WIIU .
and the reason is because of the competition .
Obviously Sega hasn't read the last book. The ending's good but I doubt many people actually get that far because it dissolves into random rubbish for half the book.
The second book's the best.
Yeah right, this story will never be as big as LOTR. Tolkien was pure genius. The movie, the game, none of it will match LOTR.
Sega is nuts!!! This crap is not even close to Lord of the Rings!! I'm not even interested in watching this movie...let alone the game!
means they won't.
The compass books are awesome and much much better than LOTR.
I think the movie and game will suck though and be too child-friendly
