Fourth-quarter earnings report Thursday demonstrated that the software giant is firing on all cylinders going into fiscal 2008.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
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.
VERY good read!
It's well thought put and the analyst has done well in preparing it all fluantly.
But when you look at all the games coming out in the next 5 months alone, it's undeniable MS are going to get profits soaring off the charts.
It would be good to see Xbox 360 vs. Wii if the Wii didn't have all the hype surrounding it, it wouldn't be selling half as much as it is.
LOL
While I love my 360 and I am really looking forward to all the games being released this year, lets face it, the MS console division is loosing cash left right and center - I seriously doubt there will be a price cut anytime soon - they just don't have to - sony is still more expensive than the 360 and they have lost so much money recently with the extended warranty and all the cash going for the GTA episodic content, they won't put themselves in the postion of having a price cut untill they really have too. And IMO, that is no time soon.
What I believe we will start to see is that you will just get more for the same money.
I keep having to Edit my post & adding the 2008 titles I'm forgeting to mention (that you guys brought up - RE5, DMC4, HAZE, UT3 - that's 4 more) ! Too many games to keep up with !
@ tonsoffun:
Also, sure, the console division has had some losses, but they are *also* making TONS of cash off XBL & the Marketplace & Advertizing to offset those losses. Plus, M$'s software sales are higher than even the Wii's & that's the big bucks. Moreover, M$ has stated over & over they are in it to win - when competition drops their price, even if you are beating them 2-1, it can make good business sense to drop the price & go for the jugular. Plus, come Sept. '07, the cost of Manufactoring the Xbox360 will decrease by 50% thanks to the 65nm chipsets. How much $$$ do you think Sony is losing off of their bluray console ?
i wonder why xbots is namin mulitplatform games..lol..the 360 will not make any money on the 360 that for sure.microsoft is in it to lose it...sony always lose money but they always gain it back in the end..ps1 and ps2 gain back money and makin billions on it..xbox dead!! no profit...360 goin to be dead soon.they have a chance but the blew it by releasing crappy hardware..
There is no exclusive games on the 360 comin out next year in 0'8..i can name only 3..all the other is multiplatform i can get it on my ps3..and ill be able to play it without no worries..lol..
by next year there be another 2 million broken 360 or more..lol..
