Microsoft announced its financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024, including details on the ongoing performance of the Xbox business.
Rumour has it that Microsoft has a new Xbox in the works, and its launch will coincide with Infinity Ward's next COD game.
So that’ll be £1000 with a zen 5 cpu and god know what graphics card
Good one
Also now they have promised cod on nintendos systems, the switch 2 might become VERY popular as a cod console with the kids, tethering it to their 5g phones, or the schools WiFi hehehe
Don't believe it. The documents from the FTC case say 2028 and that holds more weight than this.
Microsoft has a long ways to go when it comes to the gaming industry
This is another thing MS is doing that I don't like. Like chill, foster your teams and try to make the beginning of some good series on the already powerful series x. They are trying to rush this gen. It's coming up on four years. So this gens life will be 5 years and on the 6th the next gen will be released? Stupid. Makes no sense especially seeing how long everyone has supported the Ps4 and Xbox 1. Annoying.
Polish headquarters of Sony Interactive Entertainment were raided by government authorities as part of an investigation into their anti-competitive practices.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
“ Above you can see the full impact of the acquisition, including $2.08 billion in revenue and $440 million in operating loss. “
They brought Activision and still lost 440 million. How ??!!??!!
Well done MS!
You've brought no new games to Xbox from these mergers but you've made Bobbie Kotick a far more wealthy man and a handful of CEO's and shareholders too, all that it cost was the firing of thousands of workers and limiting multiplatform publishers access to their biggest console revenue stream and its gamers.
Why create when you can just take what's already there and limit who can and can't play? Start consolidating the industry and oh look I'm earning more money, this is why companies like MS should be broken up as they can use their finical might to influence any industry they enter and kill competition.
Even when you subtract the acquisition impact, there's a small increase in revenue on the services front as well.
Have no idea what profit looks like of course (especially with those holiday hardware sales) but at least revenue isn't going down...
All this success yet they still had massive layoffs had operating losses and destroyed projects developed for years. Imagine what they’d do if they didn’t have this “record” growth. Toxic garbage company.
I know there's two thousand families celebrating this news right now
