TwitchPlay: With the recent news of the Limited Edition Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360, we had to ask ourselves – is there still a market for a $400 console? The Wii is $250 and will likely soon be $200, the PS3 Slim is just $300, and the arcade version of the Xbox 360 is only $200. Without even mentioning the struggling economy, can Microsoft really expect this $400 Xbox 360 to sell?
The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
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.
Then again we all know my story but still why buy a 360 at that price when u get so much more out of a ps3 @ 299?
Mispost. Delete this please~!
Well either way, it's a better value compared to a regular 360 elite.
The extra controller, extra HDD space, MW2 game, and unique casing makes it rather the best valued 360 ever offered.
The only problem is that it's now $399, so using the same excuse 360 fans have been using, people will impulse buy the cheapest console which is the Arcade.
Oh and I wonder since "Halo" is their precious bread & butter franchise, but didn't get the same treatment this time around with ODST? So much for that theory.
i dont think xbox sales have suddenly dropped to 0, so i assume SoMEONE is still buying them...
The main people who I think will be going after this 250GB Xbox 360 Modern Warefare 2 bundle are people who already own an Xbox 360 that mainly want it just for the sake of owning the Limited Edition 360 Modern Warefare 2 console.
Most people that are remotely interested in Modern Warefare 2 probably already owns a 360, so I don't really expect this bundle to spark a lot of first time 360 buyers, especially at this price, but it's a pretty cool bundle nonetheless.
