I understand the authors opinion,but XBL is a cashcow.why on earth would MS change there mind so silver members can play multi-player gamers? if gamers have a problem with XBL,they would not pay for it.
if the author is so upset with XBL,then stop paying for it,dont't pay and then bitch about it.the xbox brand had a banner year in 2011,and from the looks of all that revenue,there's alot of happy XBL members.
thats a sweet deal.
If anyone believes the 360 has no games are sadly misguided.we all know MS waits til the time of there choosing to announce new games.
we may hear something at the GDC or E3,who knows?
MS is not worried nor should 360 gamers about lack of games.
spin articles like these does nothing but stir up propaganda on N4G. we are in the slow period of gaming so don't worry about it.
Marketing is a buisness best freind.you get back what you put into your company.MS is getting back a whole lot of money from the kinect effect.
if a company wants to win the hearts and minds of the consumers then they have to market the product.
like the old saying goes"you have to spend money to make money".
Marketing is a buisness best friend.you market a product to win the hearts and minds of the consumer.
using kinect for charity is a good thing.if this device can be used for the good in helping people then we should not hate on it.
I agree with you also fellow gamer,but what angers me is these kinds of wishing articles that crop up daily on N4G.the moderators has a duty to push truthful artcles to the front page,not these articles of innuendos and lies.
I agree!! we all know what the problem is,but the shame of it all is this article of lies and propaganda.
This is another failed attempt at journalism on N4G.1st and formost the title of this piece is misleading.2nd,is the author trying to say XBL been hacked?if XBL ever gets hacked congress will ask MS alot of tough questions.the XBL accounts that was stolen was due to phishing scams,not stolen over the XBL network.
these kind of articles are nothing but flame-bate with no truth or merit and is mere journalistic filth on N4G.shame on this poorly researched article and shame on...
$50 million or $500 million is peanuts for MS. this link will show how MS did in the US in 2011. let me know what you think of it.

This is the classic phishing scam."STOP GIVING YOUR PASSWORD OUT TO 3RD PARTY SITES PROMISING POINTS"
How dare this artcle bare the NPD logo and has VG charts as its source.the most shameful part of this artcle is its spectulation about gaming revenue as a whole for 2011.

anyone care to have a civil debate about the US #'s feel free to do so.lets start telling the truth even though it hurts sometime.
1.Sony must beat MS to the market with the PS4.
2.sony will charge a fee for PSN next
generation,count on it.
3.sony has to win back the hearts and mind of gamers who went for the 360 platform.
4.become lead platform for 3rd party games.
Run for cover guys there's a war a brewing.
As an owner of both consoles the 360 dashboard is a much needed improvement.kienect is not needed to move through the dashboard.
the UI is very responsive with the use of the controler.i use kinect to navagate around the dashboard with ease.evrytime XBL updates its dashboard these poorly written aritcles comes right out. MS creating a unified look for PC,phone,console and later for the windows tablet.
ecosystem is the ultimate goal for MS,not just for loo...
bubble for you sir and thank you.
Halo 2 is the hallmark of console shooters.the reason why we are enjoying FPS's today is due to halo 2 setting the standard for online multiplayer for consoles.to dismiss halo 2's historic journey onto consoles is being a narrow minded gamer.todays console shooters has a touch of halo in them.halo proved that FPS's could work on consoles.FPS's would not be what they are today without halo.
MS went after the casuals with kinect.may i remind you all casuals out number core gamers this generation.this is what happens when you gamble and it pays off.if you are a core gamer and expected satisfaction from the kinect device and didn,t get any after paying for it and playing it then don,t complain.it was not core games at release time for kinect,but casual games.like it or not kinect connected with casual gamers more than core gamers.kinect sold like wild fire during black friday and i...
Sorry to break it to you my good man,but when we say western developers europe is included as well.ranting and raving about how america sucks just proves you can't handle the truth about the change in the gaming industry.are we westernerners the blame for japanese developers lagging behind this generation? i think not.online is standard and as much as you wont admit it,money is a factor and the japanese devs are trying to figure out how to get some of that cash that the west is getting.di...
If the japanese developers didn,t move the industry forward then who? "the west" like it or not the industry had to move forward with or without the japanese.romancing the past is good and all,but we are in the now not the past.lets not fool ourselves about the current state of japanese game development.they suffer from stagnation and being afraid to come out there comfort zone.this is not my intention to insult the japanese devs but to implore them to join the west in moving this i...
The wii u must have a bonified online service to attract the hardcore gamer to its comsole.nintendo must jump this hurdle to be sucssesful.
