Microsoft will report its Q1 results tomorrow on October 25. Industry estimates a Q1 revenue of $12.57 billion (earnings per share: $0.39,) while Microsoft in July forecast $12.4 billion to $12.6 billion revenue ($0.38 to $0.40 per share.) Analyst predictions centered on better-than-expected PC sales worldwide plus the uber-successful launch of Halo 3. Microsoft is also set to launch Xbox 360 Arcade to compete with Nintendo Wii, but that won't affect Q1 numbers -- only Q2 numbers.
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.
DON'T LISTEN TO DUMBASSES!!!
to all sony fanboys like me lets all unite and ban this ass kissing(microsoft),money hungry sites namely GAMESPOT, GAMESPY and 1UP. they are dumasses which does not have the right to be called review sites. they are all microsofts puppets! especially that guy AARON THOMAS he is full of crap because he is trying to destroy something that a lot of people put their heart and soul on perfecting a game like ratchet and clank
i must tell you guys right now it is the most awesome game i have ever played. it will make you say OH MY GOD!!!!! that is how good it is. the graphics is unbelievable they have put so much attention to detail that as a lot of people said almost like PIXAR quality and that is quite an achievement. all right people be smart and if you call yourselves gamers then test drive this baby and see what you've been missin, which to my mind is going to be the game of the year!! well i'll probably reserve that until i see uncharted drakes fortune. as for me i'm lovin every moment of this. thats all for now dudes.. peace out! AAAAAHUUUUUUUU!!!
Yet another report were we can all pretend to be analysts rather than gamers, spending more time looking at console sales figures, pontificating and navel gazing, rather than play games.
There is something seriously wrong here.
xbox 360 has won the next gen war can we now move on plz ?
this long to release 1st quarter numbers? We are already business fiscial quarter 3. Shouldn't they be giving quarter 2 numbers.
lets all get our suits out and pretend to be Microsoft exec's!
