Following the drastic price cut of Nintendo’s Wii, both Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 have seen a reasonable chunk cut off their retail price. The PlayStation 3 160GB has respectfully fallen under the £200 mark, while the Xbox 360 ‘S’ 250GB console has fallen to under £150 – lower than the 4GB model is expected to retail for.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
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 ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
that xbox redesign looks so much better than the ps3 redesign. I still wouldn't buy either until they go below £100.
good because my xbox 360 just died and is out of warranty now (about 2 years since it last died and got repaired). Could do with getting a bigger hdd and hdmi (yes I have one of the original 20GB 360's) in the process and £150 isn't too bad
I dont think it will handle much more...
Might Just Pick Up A PS3
wow your a cheap bastard. good thing uncharted, infamous, gt5, resistance, little big planet, killzone, socom 4, motorstorm series is all on pc............ohhh wait its not well enjoy your multiplats and average highly anti aliased pc games or board games probably shouldnt underestimate your cheapness....
