NCsoft Europe boss Geoff Heath has stated that the company anticipates PC owners to make the transition to Sony's PlayStation 3 console in the long term.
"I think there is a difference between PC and console players but there's overlap as well," said Heath, in an interview with Gamesindustry.biz. "Our view long term is that people who have traditionally only played on PC will actually now start transitioning to PS3. Once they figure out what PS3 does, I think that take-up will get greater and greater."
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."
What about PS2 consumers transition to PS3?
This sounds very much like someones hypothesis, and many PC gamers are PC gamers because allot of homes have PC`s due to the PC platform not being put in orbit around gaming, but rather encompass everything from buiseness to casual gaming.
Considering some games that have been exclusive to the PC have appeared on 360, and 360 games coming to the PC. That whole thing is about reviving the PC gaming industry with the Games For Windows initiative, and the PC gaming industry is all about hardware versatility. And the console hardware is pre-set, and a high-end PC today can pull of tricks that no console in this generation can do as off now.
The evolution of PC hardware is far more advanced because the only evolution on consoles is in the software section, while the PC can have continuous advancements in both hardware and software. ;)
I've always done Playstation and PC gaming, and I wouldn't give up either of them.
Yea I would love to play my first person shooters with a mouse and keyboard on my ps3, I believe that sony already has there combo of mouse and keyboard with sixaxsis built in so there is definite possibilites.
see this happening, the logic is there. You dont have to read between the lines to see it.
This is coming from a PC gamer of 15 years.
Not on your freaking life
No PC gamer, and i me NO PC gamer is going to just jump to either the 360 or the PS3, none of them do Shooters as good, none of them do RTS as good, none of them do open world RPG's as good, and NONE of them do MMO's with any sort of quality.
The Online of either system pales in comparison to what can be done on a PC for free, and few PC gamers want to waste their time playing console gamers.
And don't talk about price, you drop 12 to 1400 on a comp your set for 3 years, and your games are going to be better.
