Sales numbers haven't really had a reason to change until now (now being when price cuts actually take effect). Sony and MS and their respective fanboys all thought the Wii was a passing fad, that they wouldn't need to respond. They still haven't come up with an answer to the control system, and likely can't (they're aren't going to give up standard controls, and having an alternate control system won't be effective and could be confusing--likely developers would ignore it and it would have no impact), but now they are finally addressing the Wii as a potent threat.
"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.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
A Porsche doesn't look at the sales numbers of a Fiat.
why on earth does Nintendo have to respond? THEY ARE STILL HALF THE PRICE OF THE PS3... sorry these stories about the so called price drop are just mind blowing... 8 months into the life cycle and you drop 100 dollars is NOT a good sign... It might be needed but its not a GOOD thing as far as history of gaming goes. And why is there no outrage about those who paid 600 dollars for the 60 gig version before? I find that odd because we would hear about that if the 360 dropped price over night.
Well the Wii is getting a good chuck of RPG's soon and get's some fps. He's talking like hardcore gamers only play FPS. That's not the case sure they like them but there's a slew of hardcore gamers that like rpg's and as I stated Wii is getting them. Plus some hardcore gamers like thinking games or the ever challaging platformer. (yes it's true platform games can be harder than fps!)
Anyway sure PS3 has a price cut and as God of Gaming said it's still twice as much. The 360 can have a price cut but with the new warranty I'm not sure it's going to happen. If it does well sure the Wii can drop it to 199 and release a new Wii with optional colors and bigger storage medium for the 250 price and problem solved.
