Every single ps3 gamer will tell you that you only have two good exclusives this year in Gears 3 and Forza 3. But i'm here to tell you that there is some hope. What these people fail to see is the bigger picture, the gaming industry is not built on exclusives, nor does it rely on them and if there were no excluisves this year would the gaming industry go into meltdown NO. The amount of AAA multiplats this year will keep any gamer happy on the platform they choose. I see exclusives as more of a bonus, not a bragging right. Sometimes this site reminds me of being back at school, when you would argue with other kids about how you have better things than they do aor that you dad is stronger than their dad. Ofcourse there are two sides to this arguement, im sure the 360 fangirls give the other side a hard time when ever they can.
I'm pretty confident that during E3 microsoft will announce more games, they have too. The 360 hasn't had a major announcement for a while now, i'm sure everyone has their lists of games that they want announced and all we can do is wait and see. But like I said there are enough AAA multiplats to tied you over should microsoft decide that they want to concentrate on getting more games out for kinect. Who could blame them they are onto a winner with kinect, it's just become the fastest selling electronic device ever. Microsoft is a buisiness and will want to cash in while this lasts and let multiplats keep the core happy and who wouldn't be happy with the likes of dues ex, bioshock, portal 2, fifa, pro evo, homefront, shift 2 and crysis 2. I could go on and on, I own a ps3 and 360 and the amount of games on both will keep me happy for a longtime to come.
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 only got an X360 a while ago (after having a PS3 since a few months after it's EU release) and I agree with you, but that's not how people see things here. Exclusives seem to be the be all and end all here.
I'm looking forward to new series that I have been introduced into now with my X360 (like Mass Effect since it has ME as well as ME2, among other ones). I still game on my PS3 more though and probably always will because I've grown up with Playstations and have always played them. I do hope though that MS do announce some new games for X360, really they need it, and their "announcements" of DLC for Halo and a beta for another game at GDC were a bit ridiculous. I mean announcing announcements is annoying enough, but announcing announcements for DLC and a beta is just beyond stupid.
Either way though it's looking to be a really good year for PS3 whatever way you look at it and everyone will make sure they throw it all over N4G for you to see.
Why worry?
Gears 3 will melt my face off ;)
I can't wait for Gears
I don't need any games, just give me Gears 3
i think the difference with sony is that a lot of the exclusive are only possible on the ps3 as well as a majority are made by first-party studios. GoW will never be on the ps3 but is it because hardware limitation or because they own Epic? no so if they decide to do multiplatform games like insomniac and bugie what would they have left?
Do you not realize that MS has played you for fools? Think about it, the only reason MS delayed gears was for 'marketing' reasons. They pushed it back so easily manipulated people like yourselves would be strung along and come into forums to say things like "just wait for gears" or "all I need is gears". If you were really into this hobby of gaming you WOULD care that you have nothing but multi-plats to play.
I don't get the reasoning behind the 'just lay back and take it like a b*tch' method of thinking. You're all like abused girlfriends who just keep saying "he loves me really" and wearing sunglasses to cover your black eyes.
I'm trying to help you all, please listen without getting angry, if you take MS shiz lying down and pretend like nothing is wrong just because of your internet pride, then you will never get the treatment you deserve.
I know it might be hard for you to swallow but the PS3 just has a better line up these days. I remember 2006/7 just like you guys and played my Xbox relentlessly then but those days are over. Ms has moved on from you and now you have to step up swallow your ridiculous fanboy pride and buy a PS3 to get the BEST choice of games around.
Don't let the 'war' ruin your own gaming experience.
