Correction. Microsoft was making a profit. Then they dropped the price in Europe. If they do that everywhere the 360 will be back to losing money.
The article missed the biggest reason Microsoft might get out of gaming. They can no longer afford it. I know, I know. Microsoft has billions in cash ready to spend. But what if they end up buying Yahoo? That will cost them a fortune. And for what? Microsoft is a computer software company. They don't make hardware. The 360 proved they don't know how to design it. They really should think hard about getting out of the console business. This price drop in Europe means their gaming division will...
I read the whole article and I found this part funny. They said even if Sony could host a beta they'd have to make three versions. One for Japan, one for Europe and one for the US. Microsoft only needs one version. Does that mean they only do a beta for the US on the 360? I guess that makes sense since the 360 seems to be a failure in Japan and even Europe hasn't bought into it much.
I was just checking out Crapcom's forums. What's funny is you'll find threads there asking why Crapcom hates the PS3. You can't respond to them though since the Nazi admins locked them. I guess everyone should just keep creating new threads about it and see what they do.
I was in that Warhawk beta too. Or maybe we were all just dreaming.
Maybe the PS3 can't support Capcom betas because it will need 5GB of disk space just to install. That will be a huge download. :)
I just don't believe this story. Is Capcom starting to make up stories to make them not look horrible toward PS3 gamers? If this is true why did they report their first reason? Why not just say this from the start? At least it would give them a good reason. Now it just makes them look like lying fools.
Is n4g.com becoming the gaming rumor site? That isn't a news story. It's just some post on a forum.
I don't get this review. I didn't read much of it but they say 2K Sports fixed all the problems from last year. From what I've read this version took a big step back from last year. Did they fix the old problems and hurt the game?
You're right. We have a good rating system but irresponsible parents ignore it. Just like they ignore good gun safety. Maybe we should start banning bad parents.
To get the whole story it says see The Highlander. So I guess that newspaper puts their stories on their site but makes you buy the actual paper to see the real facts.
What it has to do with gaming? It's about EA's next NASCAR racing game. Is that not enough about gaming for you?
People get shot all the time for money. We must ban money. Money is no good.
Sonarus - We don't really need stricter gun laws in the US. We already have enough. How about going after people who leave their guns out in the open not locked up? I'm not into guns myself but my dad is. And he keeps them locked up in a safe that is bolted to the floor. And he has no kids living in his house. People with guns need to be more responsible.
I blame Kratos for this. He's always killing everyone with his stupid pistol. The kid who shot the other kid was just trying to be like Kratos.
I guess the real story here is they know Xbots will be fooled into buying Commando 3. I guess that game must suck since the only way to get into this beta is buy that game. Why do that? Does Capcom even know how to make good games anymore? DMC4 ended up rather mediocre. I played a while but lost interest. I think I'll pass on Capcom games now. They have limited resources so they can't be bothered with PS3 gamers? Well, I have limited resources too. I guess I can't be bothered with buying thei...
SOE doesn't need to worry. Their type of PC games aren't in decline. But PC gaming is dropping a lot overall. Any PC game that requires major hardware is moving more to consoles. It's nuts to waste money on upgrading your PC every year just to play PC games.
I think Nintendo must be paying schools to tell the kids to do this. What a horrible policy for schools. This will really dumb them down.
No, Microsoft just isn't in the hardware business. But they're trying to get into the movie download business. It makes sense for them to talk like this but everyone should see right through it and ignore what they say. It doesn't matter. The truth is most people won't be able to deal with digital downloads. It's a lot easier to just buy or rent a movie on optical discs and watch them that way or on cable.
Aussies should tell their government to get lost. Don't let them push you around.
