Sony has announced Gran Turismo 5 Prologue / PS3 bundle packs will be available in Europe on March 29th. If you haven't already purchased a PS3, this will be a great opportunity to pick one up along with the new game. The real question: why are there no plans to bring this package to North American markets..? Of course, if you've already got a PS3, you can go ahead and pre-order your copy of GT5 Prologue at Amazon right now!
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.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -

With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
This game despite being an extended DEMO will sell millions of PS3 this year in europe.
MGS4 alone would move 5 million PS3s this year and so will FF13
PS3 will murder competition with this.
MARCH 29th will see the TOTAL END for X360 in europe ( It is half dead there already)
So it look like Europe is getting GT5 Prologue before the United State. Well at least Sony is finally give them something before us American, and the Japanese gamers.
You can find a 40gb PS3 for well under £300 and on amazon.co.uk I believe GT5 prologue is only £18 anways if this bundle was to contain say 2 dualshock 3 controllers as well then i think that would make for a better bundle.
But...it's not even the full game.
Why would you make a bundle for a huge demo?
Japan is strange :P
Prologue alone has more content and is overall better than alot of full racer games. I will just wait for the full game. In my eyes this bundle can't touch the MGS4 bundle we are getting here in north america, but the prologue is no joke either.
