June NPD's have officially been released with the Nintendo Switch and Super Mario Maker 2 dominating the hardware and software charts.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
“With a year to date hardware spending declining by 20%, the Nintendo Switch is the only console showing year on year growth as of right now.”
Other than nintendo with YoY growth, the hardware industry as a whole is down a lot. Tail end of a generation, especially with Sony and MS making it known we’re getting a new gen next year, i only expect it to slow more
Super Mario Maker 2 released at the end of the month (June 28th) and yet still dominate NPD. That is incredible.
The only thing that can stop GTA V is GTA VI, that game just won't quit
I thought CTR: NF would win the month
Mario maker came out on the 28th and still took number 1 that’s just crazy and mind you it do not include digital sales..........it beat out every game that include sales from different systems
It also beat out original Mario maker for Wii U and 3ds sales
Give Nintendo props
Nintendo won 7 months in a row in America
I can’t remember last month Nintendo lost in japan
And Nintendo doing well in Europe
My prediction Nintendo is way ahead worldwide
