Pundits say Apple's Q3 iPad sales are sad, but the results underscore just how "fringe" the PS4, Xbox One and other game consoles still are.

to be fair iPads are also sold for business purposes

ipad is really garbage to use as a gaming device.
you wanna play games get yourself a gaming console.

EDIT:comparing tablets and consoles is really stupid imo, like comparing strawberries and donkeys.

die_fiend3490d ago

Well both of them play games, so your comparison is stupid imo.

The point is that people will pay £600 for a tablet but not £350 for a console, which only gets refreshed every 5 years. So people would never spend £500 on a console, even though they'd gladly spend £1000 on a phone they'll change every 2 years, that barely does anything different. So unfortunately gaming appears to still be on the 'fringe' despite being the best way be antisocial.

Wait. What?!? I've been trying to subconsciously be antisocial all this time through my 20+ years of gaming?!? F@#K me!? ...But... I have like 50 friends on FB!?

That's like saying a man can go and record movies on his iphone so he doesn't need to see The Avengers! Consoles are where the blockbuster hits are. Phones are the home videos of video gaming while Playstation and the others are the theaters

Agreed, multipurpose (iPads) vs single/dual purpose (consoles)

StinkiWan3491d ago

That's very true. But I wonder how many of those sales are attributed to B2B vs. consumers. I don't think Apple breaks them down that way.

BitbyDeath3490d ago

Bit of a crap comparison, what next shoes vs cars?

bouzebbal3490d ago

Turmeric powder and black holes...

lnfiniteLoop3490d ago

the laest iPads didnt really have any features worth buying/upgrading for... slap on the ability to make phone calls (and ditch the iPhone 6) then it'll sell...

spacedelete3490d ago

very stupid to compare phones to consoles. you NEED a phone in these modern times. its like comparing bread and milk sales to consoles. people need bread and milk to live. consoles are entertainment. why do they need to sell 20 million in a month ? they are profitable as if they weren't they wouldn't exist. stupid reporters trying to cause controversy.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack15h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack9h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

isarai6h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

LostPotato14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack9h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Persona 5 Royal is my top 10 game of all time. A true masterpiece.

Barlos5h ago

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

CrimsonWing692h ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

The gameplay is fantastic. Not sure what can be more important then that?

HankHill6h ago

I like how one of the cons is that it's the only tennis game on the market. What does that have to do with the game?
