Did the Xbox One jump the shark on purpose? Or was it trying to pull something more creative out of its hat?
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
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.
I don't think the gaming world were ready because we are not technically on that level yet. There are still some people out there with unreliable internet and a vast majority with no internet at all. Connecting everyone together is an amazing idea, but one that isn't ready for us yet. I would've liked to see what MS would do with their ideas, but they were slammed to the ground before it could take off because of the consumer's fear and the companies obligation to provide for the consumer.
imo strictly imo.....the whole drm thing was to win over devs and get more exclusives. piracy is a problem to devs and this was a way to kill the problem and make money in one stroke. the problem was console gamers like freedom and these new policies were too restricting. and like the vid says the internet isnt stable enough to rely on...so yeah greed, restrictions, unreliable service, ads = unhappy consumer that= no profits
i hate these youtube narrators so lame, didnt even look at the video but i guess
The Xbox One wasn't ready for this generation "of new casual gamers"
The core is really where its at for a GAMING console...and the core made them listen.
