Madden NFL 08 is poised to outperform last year's multi-million-selling entry, but does the new Madden offer anything new? And a technically superior Xbox 360 version could pour fuel on the console debate. Early critic comments, popularity rankings and the rest of this week's releases within... More after the jump.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I'm sorry, but this is a big no for me. They have shut down their online servers for most 2006 games. I'm not paying games so one year later I can't play online anymore. They will do anything to sell the 2009 version. I don't trust them anymore.
So there's no way I'll buy this game or any games from EA for quite a while.
EA Sports:
dont cre for this game
A guy came in my store yesterday and cancelled his pre-order for Madden on his PS3 and Switched it to 360 and said he would be in tonight to buy a 360 and Madden for it bc he heard about the 60-30 frames issue...Madden is that serious for some people
Is this what we should expect from yearly sports game releases? Little to no functional differences with updated rosters? Also, the infrastructure for online sports games is just not ideal. Since its a yearly release, publishers are looking for 07 buyers to buy 08. What happens to the 07 game outside of a 75% immediate depreciation in value of the 07 game.
Should football games be released every two years with roster updates? Of course not! Why would EA do such a thing?
