NowGamer examines the evidence to suggest why Natal will succeed in a marketplace full of competition.
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.
This one's definitely getting approved.
yawn it needs a NOT addidng to the title, I sick of false hyping, all natal is shown is huge red balls if that is the future then I will quit gaming
yes i cant wait to pay $150 for a piece of camera that my ps3 already has
also cant wait to talk to a little kid and when my neighbors pass by they will think iam alone with him...natal will change the world by making us go crazy if u know what i mean...flapping you hands and legs trying to hit a red ball for sure its going to beat move. o wait my bad iam passing on natal
@jack Klugman At least the move will give me pleasure
... that I may or may not buy this.
Also, I learned today that the "not" joke never gets old...
But in all seriousness, I keep hearing Natal has a bit of lag... I imagine it would be hard to play First-Person Shooters or for example games that require fast reflexes if the lag is noticeable...
