Everyone can agree on this, that half the articles on N4G are about Apple taking over the handheld market and those articles are usually written by idiots.
They say look at he sails of the Apple products, but there are a few reasons they are so high.
1. They is popular
2. People think they are good because the Mac and PC ads.
3. They break easily, and when people get a refund they count that as a new sale.(I know this for a fact)
They say apps get downloaded a lot more than games are bought. They should looks at how much people actually buy apps instead of checking how much people download them to be more accurate.
1. One person can buy Angry Birds and 20 people can download it.
2. One person may download Angry Birds and uninstall it and do that multiple times
3. Games are like 0.99 and old people who dont care for gameing usually buy them or you play them on the bus ride home.
I like the DS and PSP more because you get stuff you cant get on Apple products.
1. First party support
2. Buttons
3. Third party support
4. and some stuff I am missing but you know what it is
The only Apple product I own is an iPod touch. I dont buy stuff on the app store only thing I ever paid for was the rabbids game. My Mother buys a bunch of stuff on it so I would just download what she bought and get it for free or I download a free app to see if its good. I usually read digital comics on it. I use a free app I found to read them on. I would only get an iPad for digital comics and that's about it.
We have those people who make an app and it gets downloaded a lot and they make a big deal over it and think they are gods of the gaming industry(Angry Birds Dev). But the gods are Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Valve. For giving us gamers systems and software so we can play video games with great features and games.
Apple products are just a fad for now and would die off when a new thing comes out the people would like. I'm not saying they are bad or good products, I am saying they will never be solid gaming device like the 3DS and PSV.
Anyone can be a journalist but not everyone is smart enough to be one but sadly more idiots call them selves journalists.
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.
Please tell me that English isn't your first language
Just remind the poster this is an English speaking site.............
this is an apple hate article, nothing more. not only are they not going away their becoming bigger, even in the face of countless pc manufacturers, fifty different kinds of android phones compared to one iphone and general hatred of the apple brand.
the only thing i agree with is apple not killing the portable market.
