Nukezilla took a look at all the coverage the big three got during the E3 week, and the results don't look good for Sony.
"Interesting, to me at least, is how Nintendo got nearly as much coverage as Sony and Microsoft combined (Nintendo were mentioned in the titles of 142 posts, while Microsoft and Sony were in 91 and 89 respectively). Nintendo had far more articles written about their press conference than either of the other two, and during the rest of the week they consistently held the fictional “most discussed company” spot."
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
While it isn't stone-cold fact, it's certainly hard evidence to suggest that Sony's huge focus on Move for a lot of their conference didn't sit well with its audience expecting a slew of games...
That Kinect and 360 are so high on the "console names" and "main announcement" in terms of sheer volume of coverage, is because of a large amount of negative coverage. Which wasn't just confined to reactions towards the device - many stories about Kinect criticized the presentation of it's main conference, along with devoting 2/3rds of the Microsoft conference to Kinect. So while there many be a lot of coverage for it, we can't assume it's all sunshine and lolipops.
I love meself some statistics.
''Sony didn’t do quite as well as many were expecting, at least as far as quantity of coverage goes.''
Lol at that statement.
..er people?
