Seriously, what the hell is this?
Nintendo
must have asked themselves that question when they realized the
Gamecube was behind both the Xbox and the PlayStation 2 for the crown
of a generation.
The
Gamecube is an interesting system. I remember a bunch of my friends
looked away because they thought the Gamecube was for kids. You really
can't blame them for looking away. A majority of gamers have been
saving Princess Peach since they were kids. Gotta grow sometime right?
Just look at the launch titles for each system.
PS2
had 29 launch titles in the United States. 11 games were rated E for
Everyone, 16 games were rated T for Teen, and 2 games were rated M for
Mature.
Xbox
had 18 launch titles in the United States. 9 games rated E for
Everyone, 8 Games Rated T for Teen, and 1 game with a Halo around it
was rated M for Mature.
Gamecube
had 12 launch titles in the United States. 7 games were rated E for
Everyone and 5 games were rated T for Teen. Not a single launch title
was rated M for Mature.
The PlayStation 2 had the benefit of a
year to release more games. The Xbox started off with a Halo. The
Gamecube began it's life with Luigi cleaning a dirty house. Fun
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.
I think it was aiming more for the old school/casual gamer market then the Xbox and PS2. Interesting blog post, tad small though, and bit out of date.
Uhhh....why are you talking about the GameCube??
Anyway, I liked that system.
the point of this blog is.... where's your opinion? Camecube was pretty dammned good uh but still... i don't get this blog at all.
I was pretty much bored as hell because I had nothing to play and I started writing. Never thought it would get approved, but since it did I'm mad I didn't get to respond to the comments earlier... Thanks for your input and from now on I'll post things that have a point.
Later
