XboxOZ360:
Shhhh . . . In a recent IGN video clip Ken Lobb (Creative director of Microsoft game studios) showed the world game play footage of the latest Banjo- Kazooie installment. With all this talk about a motion controller coming to the Xbox 360, could it actually be happening? Apparently so!
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.
This has got to be the worst kept secret in the industry. Is this deliberate? Are MS trying to mislead everyone for a bigger surprise? Or is this just the case of bucket with too many holes to plug?
Either way E3 should just hurry up and get here!
Pretty underwhelming. I expected better from Microsoft and Sony, and I say Sony cause you know they will follow the absurd trend too.
In the end, this won't go well for Microsoft. The controller looks like a vibrator and it isn't really attached to anything of merit right now. The wii is the controller. This, it's a supplement. One that will be forgotten about more than likely.
I know I won't buy one.
More like a bucket with way too many holes mate.
Too many people discussing the same thing under different roofs, so little control in who says what and where and when.
Plus it's an ideal way to turn up heat on a topic and make it topical within the gaming industry at large. What better way to "leak" things out. It's a common practice to "leak" information out through "reliable sources" so that it gains some credibility, and at the same time, creates a great deal of discussion and speculation, not to mention heated debate (read fan flame wars).
Both of which 'drive' the internet at its core.
jeez they could of at least tried and make their controller look different from the wii-mote
@below
ok fair point- i realize that this is a prototype
but mind if i quote you and then we'll see what the finished product looks like?
I hope this is not true, I liked how the 360 was the console that PREVENTED Muscle development... lol
