NowGamer: Industry analyst Michael Pachter has told NowGamer that he doesn't expect Microsoft to enter the portable gaming market in the 'foreseeable future'
Wedbush Morgan analyst Pachter said: "I don't see Microsoft as being competitive in handheld gaming. The Zune has been a commercial disaster, and their core Xbox consumer is too old to carry a handheld gaming device."
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Popinsky: Pachters Predictions Way Off
MS just had one of their people say that the Handheld isnt a priority right now and prolly wont be for a while now.
Mr Patcher sitting in his office "well thats my 200k a year salary justified"
I rekon he writes these on post it notes then spends the rest of the week twirling in his chair and drinking coffee
Sorry, I could not help it, hes always been off on all his prediction and we have idiots asking a true born moron what hes opinion is, but the problem is that they know that whatever he says to do the opposite.
Oh well look whos in the spotlights again, yeah! Jerry springer, I meant
to said, "the comedy moron of gaming".
Well if Patcher says it, it must be true.
