"The only experience you need is life experience."
Judging by the
rumored late 2010 release of Project Natal, it's not looking like much
life experience is left for the Xbox 360. Before you know it, GameStop
will no longer accept Xbox 360 games for trade in, and the 360 itself
will be disowned by Microsoft. Hopefully Project Natal goes with it.
The
Nintendo Wii brought this mainstream revolution with it which is
exactly why it's winning the console war right now. They made the
controller look like an everyday remote control, added a motion sensor
to it, and made games so simple anybody could play. Microsoft ups the
ante by removing the controller and replacing it with a camera that
tracks your movement. They even brought out Steven Speilberg (I thought
he was all about the Wii) to back this up.
The thing that's
funny to me is that games have always been known as a lazy persons
sport. Not saying that the people who play games are lazy, but sitting
on the couch and staring at a screen doesn't climb high on my list of
physical activities. Project Natal looks like a pretty physical EyeToy.
The girl that was showing how it works at Microsofts E3 press
conference seemed a little tired after she finished that game which
title escapes me at the moment.
Ever
been told that you need more friends? Project Natal's got you covered.
Meet Milo, your new best friend. It's great because now your imaginary
friend can be seen by the rest of the world. No more setting up tables
and saving seats for your friend. Guess you don't have to leave the
house now since your friend is inside your Xbox...
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.
natal doesn't look too good...
