GamesIndustry.biz reports that John Schappert believes that the Microsoft console delivers a superior experience.
Games sell better on the Xbox 360 because they simply play better on Xbox 360."
That's the bold claim of John Schappert, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Live, Software and Services for the Interactive Entertainment Business, during his keynote presentation at this year's Game Developers Conference in the Moscone Center, San Francisco.
Schappert, who cited rating aggregation site, Metacritic, believed that the Xbox 360 has more titles rated 80, 90 or above that the other main consoles put together - and this is having a significant impact on software sales.
In addition he heralded the community aspects of the platform: "We've got the best development tools and the best online service. You can simply do more on our platform," he said.
The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
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.
HAHAHAHAHA.
WTF HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHA also!
What is this clown smoking
Hmmm...Dark Sniper wonders who paid his guy off to say such nonsense,Dark Sniper knows who,Microsoft are that desperate to receive some positive feedback for their outdated console that they have to pay off people for some,pathetic!
$niper
Even though he doesn't know jack-diggley-squat about the other system. Everything will change when Home comes out.
