TMC: Microsoft's Chief of Interactive Entertainment Business, Aaaron Greenberg, updates us with 360's Life To Date numbers. Major Nelson's numbers get corrected.
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.
So whos ahead now?
See NPD wasnt all bad after all, at least we would have a little idea where we all are even if its only in the US.
I think I have seen about 7 different sales numbers this week.
Oh and yes and sorry.
i'm 10 of those!
jk, i've only had rrod once. it was my fault though, i smoked in front of it and treated it poorly.
Knew it was only a matter of time before MS "fixed" Nelson's comment.
Though I thought they'd have done it sooner.
So much for the "400,000" lead I was being led to believe existed.
Well, so much for that. The gap is at 4 million going into the holidays with Kinect inbound. The 360 will probably be ahead by about 5 million by years end.
That glimmer of hope for the PS3 didn`t last long.
There's no way of knowing how many people are actually playing it. How many of those are rrod? How many are "upgrades?" How many are ultimate editions? Same thing for the PS3 - don't give a damn. In fact, the only people who should care are dev companies because they need to know the user base for each console. Ever imagine that there might be less 360 users out there than PS3 users accounting for everything. Devs are the only people who should care, and be pissed off about inflated numbers.
