First let me say this, take what I'm saying in this article not too seriously. This is just my opinion and I'm not trying to force it upon you.
It's easy to call some one a "fanboy" because of their choice of console, game or company. I'm here to give you a definition (or two) of what a "fanboy" is; And that is when a person makes a claim against another persons' choice of console or game is inferior to their own (example: "XBOX 360 sucks because of their hardware and lack luster of great titles!"). Another good look at what makes some one a "fanboy" is when they talk down about another person's preference about a gaming company they support (example: "Microsoft is stealing your money and you're too stupid to realize it!") Or rather when a person makes a claim, be it false or fact, to which another person is wrong entirely about what console, game or company they prefer. So even if you do have facts (i.e. links, graphs, polls, etc), what you're really doing is wasting both your time and the other persons' over a gaming company that doesn't even need your "text-based moral support".
However, a person can not be held accountable of being a "fanboy" if they have a preference of what console or game is more suitable to them. For example, Hiphop Gamer prefers the Play Station 3 over his XBOX 360, yet he still plays the XBOX 360 from time to time. Almost everyone has a preference over what console or game they like, it's natural. As for me, I don't have a preference over which console I like best, because I get what I want out of each and every single one. Now going back on topic, gaming companies have their PR to help out with what ever events need to be held in order to rally up people who prefer that company's game(s) over all others. So of course they'll (game company PR) show off graphs and numbers of how great they're doing nation or world wide, it's all part of the business. In fact, it's one of the better ways to keep their jobs.
Here is what I propose to all of you. Take what you hear from ANY gaming company PR with a grain of salt because the choice of spending your money, be it allowance or salary, is up to you and not them. When it comes to trailers of upcoming games, don't base your judgment off of the CG movies, but rather the game play, story and replay value. Do your research on the game by going to that company's website, wikipedia or GameFAQs for more information. Get to know how the company is doing and their plans for future release titles. With today's economy going down hill and gas prices soaring, a game better be worth the $60! Which brings me to another point, play those free MMOs! Sure most of them have that cute anime look, but it's free and easy to play and not all of them have that "grind-tastic" feel to them =P
That's all I got for now, but I will update once I have more.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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.
Yeah, it makes me mad to see the stupid comments people post about a game when you know just by reading their comment that they haven't even played the game yet! Take the first megaman for instance.It had really bad box art, but it was a really good game! DONT JUDGE A GAME BY ITS COVER!(or trailer). And when you said "anime style mmo you were referring to Gaia heh.
