Xbox 360: Consoles, Content And Community

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "Microsoft responds to February NPD sales by reaffirming it's stance in this next generation console war. They've instilled the facts that it's not just about console sales, but also content and community."

"No other platform delivers interactive online experiences to more than 10 million members around the globe."

..... PC?

skynidas5894d ago

Yeah they should have said console instead of platform

MURKERR5894d ago (Edited 5894d ago )

with HOME- community in the best way

and

LITTLEBIG PLANET- content that will keep evolving the ps3 is even more set to reclaim its crown

MURKERR5894d ago (Edited 5894d ago )

keep reiterating facts that smacks of fear and desperation

heres some FACTS

how about facts like each year you have gradually sold less and less

how about your hardware issues ratio is the worst of any gaming platform ever

how about you backed a wrong HD format and you have egg on your faces

how about in its 1st year the ps3 sold more than the 360,and the shameful thing is the 360 had no competition in its 1st year

how about your your pining all your hopes on GTA which makes consumers laugh because its a multi-plat title

how about the ps3 had better games in its 1st year than the 360

360 had a good 2007 no denying and as a gamer i applaud them for that even though i dont own a 360 i give credit where credits due.
but were in 2008 mister and ps3 is gaining rapidly in praise, content and hardware sales

judging by the articles coming from microsoft, microsoft are worried no amount of smoke cant hide that fact which is a shame because competition is good for all involved especially the consumer

lol...these guyz can spin a story better than the presidential candidates.

"Xbox 360: Extending the Lead -- No other game platform delivers downloadable digital entertainment, with family favorites like “Hannah Montana” and “Lost.”" Cant go on with my without watching hannah montana. Its the only real reason to own an xbox.

PopEmUp5894d ago

"No other" platform delivers interactive online experiences to more than 10 million members around the globe but not to forget, we got mass of RROD of xbox 360 in our warehouse waiting to be fix because there have been consumers around the globe experiencing RROD so no doubt we are the leading platform

littletad5894d ago

It's fun to make fun of Microsofts "spin" at facts, but no amount of that could ever compare to what we've seen from Sony. There's just no topping that. Thankfully they've been doing something good so far, shutting up and bringing out the games. Well, there not really here yet but you know their coming. Things sure are getting interesting though.

Both sides do it. Its called getting the most sales. Their salesman.

Glad to be a gamer5894d ago

The online competition and no of highly rated games on the 360 make it an easy choice now but Ps3 is slowly catching up. Don't think that Mgs4 on its own is enough to turn the tide but its a start.

Only problem is that for £200 over here you can get a 360 premium 3 games and an extra controller. I wonder if blue ray will be enough for consumers to go the other way this year?

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

https://youtu.be/yKUGwlFJAH...

Tacoboto1d 9h ago

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing691d ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx11616h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff21839h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto8h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...

The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.

Markdn1d 11h ago

And when you only make a fraction of your games worth on gamepass you suffer

Tacoboto1d 8h ago

Palworld and Manor Lords are so suffering.

RiseNShine1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.

Miacosa20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.

ROCKY2816h ago

You guys will be back with team strength and funding !
