Engadget just got the lsit of some of the first launch games for Xbox Live on Windows Phone 7.
It includes new IPs, some XBLA titles and some mobile titles seen on Iphone.
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 $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
They better hope it does better than the Kin, that was the biggest fail of 2010.
this looks better though.
man your expecting too much, this isn't streamed or broadcasted, their not gonna announce a new hardware without that kind of exposure.
FF Versus 13, I doubt it'll be at TGS let alone at this show. If anything they'll have like 20 seconds more of the same clips we've seen at TGS.
Uncharted 3? Save something for E3 next year. Same goes for Agent.
Resistance 3 is likely your best hope.
This is HUGE ....
If M$ showcases this tomorrow it will HUGE.
Android is already looking MUCH better than the iPhone thanks to Froyo .... And from what I hear M$ went back to the drawing board for wp7.
Anyways .... Looking forward to see the specs on th phones and more details.
they just want to see the iphone fail =P
so sad.
I hope they get Windows Phone 7 right as I have been using windows mobile for years and loved it because it was open and you could do more or less what you want on it. I had the HTC HD2 up until last month which has to be one of the best mobiles out there but with MS more or less dropping the support for 6.5 there was not many new apps ect coming out for it so I have just moved across to Android and this seems to have taken over from where MS left off with being open and easy to customize and the HTC Desire is more or less on par with the HD2.
From what I have see so far Windows phone 7 is locked down like the IPhone which I don't like but im going to stick with my Android for the next 12 months and look at windows phone 7 and android when I am due an upgrade and see which suits me best as windows phone 7 will of had time to settle down and have alot of apps ect out for it.
