The Nintendo Wii was released back in 2006 and it has turned out to be one of the best selling gaming consoles in the history of video games.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick joins 'Money Movers' to discuss the company's quarterly earnings results, how confident Zelnick is in the guidance for fall 2025, and much more.
Take-Two head honcho Strauss Zelnick states every time they establish a price, they want to make sure it's "good news for consumers."
It's the why we close servers after 2 years, why we re-use the same assets every year, and why we bundle our game with enjoyable microtransactions.
Re-using assets is not a bad thing tbh. Development is all about re-using code, assets and components.
Can you please focus on delivering enough quality content to justify the $70 asking price? While I appreciate the idea of over-delivering, it's essential to ensure that the base content itself is worth it. I have concerns that GTA6 might have less single-player content because most of the focus seems to be shifting towards online play and microtransactions
The sleaze oozes out of these gaming CEOs faces. It's honestly disturbing how distorted people look when you've realized how money obsessed they really are. He gives off "in one ear and straight out the other" vibes.
I really don't get it

do they think anyone believes what they say?
is it that being in charge surrounds you by so many yesmen that they get deluded into thinking everyone is like that?
Well if you look at the last 10 years you will notice there wasn't as single paid dlc. Every update was free whether you want to complain about sharkcards or not.
They're going to make billions on this game especially if they keep the same formula as last in regards to updates.
Selling Shark cards and removing content are not exactly "good news for consumers" lol.
The last time they released any DLC worth playing was 15 years ago.
GTA V is so broken and unbalanced that people would rather do stupid cringey stunts with than do heists.
I'm sure the player base would disagree, and gta5 is still being supported, much longer then most games, after all I bought gta5 day 1 on ps3....
Nintendo of America has posted a fascinating new job opening that could signal significant changes for the company’s future products.
Counted with the wiiu tho.
The wii sold to casual gamers when the wiiu launched. these cauals thought it was just another wii..
Lol console names doesn't matter. That right there is bull.
Sure, it's not the be all and end all of a console. Names, and their associations, evoke subconscious responses. "Stronger" names connote an idea of strength and power. There's often an explanation for why a name was chosen (though usually later in a products life) and most of that surrounds some philosophy of the company, brand, or the product itself. I think that the idea behind the name Wii was whimsy. It's a cooky, silly name to go with what was supposed to be a fun centered, less serious experience. It was a strange name. Some even called it stupid. But, it worked.
That being said, I doubt we'll see them go too far. That would be like Ferrari naming it's newest car The Platypus!!!
I've always thought that Xbone is pretty funny AF. I guess the whole Xbox brand is pretty AF. It doesn't make any sense to some regular Joe what it means and what it stands for. Unlike, the PlayStation, NES or the SNES.
"Console Names Don’t Matter" then just call the new one Xbox Two
