2007 has been one to place a gold star next to in our gaming diary. A new generation of consoles has arrived, the PC platform has continued to push the technological platform and hand-held gaming devices are more popular than ever. On the software front we were blessed with many new IP's, and the Wii and party games widened the gaming demographic more than ever.
iTWire editor Mike Bantick looks at how Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft performed for the year, and the new intellectual properties that came out in 2007. Finally, he answers the question: 2007 - the best gaming year ever?
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."
It's only because of the Xbox 360 that 2007 was such a good year for games. It is apparent that the gaming world would be lost without the Xbox 360s AAA lineup and next generation capabilites.
The PS3 offered nothing positive at all (every single gamed bombed financially and critically) and the Wii only offered rehashes of old franchises and casual shovelware which is a step backwards rather than a step forwards.
Without the Xbox 360, the future of gaming would be bleak
1998 remains the best year in gaming, this one missed an essential rts such as Starcraft, a AAA stealt action game named metal gear etc and a best game ever like ocarina of time to name a few of this years deficits.
Next year might be the best but only if ff13 and gears 2 make into the year since Starcraft 2 and MGS4 are coming next year.
every one knows why... :D
2007 was the best year of consele games yet
im willing to bet 08 will be better and 09 will be better then that
08 for me thou is going to be real nice
Socom GTA and MGS
The full blown GT5 IMO wont be here till 09
im starting to think you cant really think the way you speak on these forums
I think your just playing a roll kinda like a heal in the WWE. You my friend are a true loser and if your an adult i would hate to hear your views on world events because i bet these views are formed by what the White House says.
