They made a profit. You do know what profit is don't you? I personally don't care how much they made, but you can't deny they are a profitable company. All the doom and gloom about them is laughable. All they do is make money, is there growth, not really that much, but as long as they keep turning a "profit" I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon.
We know from metacritic and IGN and the other sites that post user reviews that fan boys on the other side of a product skew the average user review. So then how are we supposed to believe any review other than our own personal opinion?
While google owns a big chunk of the search engine business and apple owns the ipod business and nintendo owns handheld gameing and consoles this generation... Microsoft absolutely obliterates everyone else in Computer operating systems. I would be very happy killing it in that category and being relevant in all those other catagories. Bing is slowly gaining market share, Zune is a critical success although not a sales success and the 360 is raking in the money through live and about to laun...
and its not that easy. Play it on the hardest level and tell me its just pushing a button at the right time.
Can't wait, I love fitness games, and I love the potential.
Did you actually read your link, Creep said Microsoft has revenue greater, which at the end of your linked article it states that very same thing. I assume you were thinking market cap, which is price of stock x available shares. Reading is fundamental.
Apple has the cash to purchase 50.1% of the stock from EA for sure, Sony for sure and probably Disney, so financially it could easily be done. Purchasing them outright, EA for sure, Sony maybe, and Disney probably not. Thats just looking at the market caps of all three which is the price of the stock right now and the overall amount of shares outstanding. I don't see it happening though.
if they force developers to use it, they are hurting their creativity and forgetting their core audience. When they don't force them they aren't really supporting it. So I am confused. Not saying that you, ComboBreaker said anything about hurting creativity, that is just the N4G audience in general. One of those damned if you do, damned if you don't things.
I guess playing a game with the wii mote or with the move and swinging your arms around doesn't look stupid?? I know how dumb I look playing wii sports boxing, and I am sure I will look pretty stupid playing kinect. I have enough confidence in myself that I don't care what someone would say while I am playing. I don't play in front of an open window, People who see me play are my wife, or friends that are playing right along with me. That is probably the dumbest argument about...
I get such a kick out of people on n4g that talk about how they are going to look playing kinect. I guess playing boxing with a wiimote/move in your hand makes you look cool. This site has become such a joke. Every kinect article is full of sony trolls. Every move article is full of sony trolls pre-empting a 360 fanboy strike. Its almost comical... but its actually really sad.
when i bought mine. Worth every penny.
I don't think Sony or MS are gonna stop allowing third party companies to make good games for their systems. It doesn't take much time or effort to make shovelware so I am sure you will see plenty of it for kinect, but do you think we won't see anymore halo/cod/Red Dead/GTA/etc. etc. because of it. I already stated that MS is about third party multi plat and time exclusive dlc so what makes you think it will change?
you are saying they will have less money to spend on games? We all know that the 360 is all about multi plat games and a few exclusives, do you see that being different? Its not like sony is gonna pony up the dough to make multiplats exclusive, so it will be just like it is. Companies are gonna make shovelware for both kinect and move, why do you think that good games will stop. PS3 will continue to have the most exclusives and the 360 will keep putting out multi plats with timed exlusive...
thats the beauty of this, if you don't like it, don't buy it and keep playing games the normal way. The same goes for move. Its not like the kinect games are earth shattering AAA titles. They are casual wii-esque party game titles. I love the addition. I have mine pre-orederd. I already have move, and I love it. The hate this thing gets is astounding. Its not like they are saying you have to have kinect to play stuff like halo reach or COD, or any other top game. If they add a...
I will have no problem in my living room.
I loved the first one, even with its problems, this one graphically looks so much better. I find it hard to believe. I will have to read the review to see why they dinged it so much.
If they forced you to buy Kinect to play some of the core hardcore games, like Making Halo reach have a function for kinect and forcing you to buy kinect to play it, then they would be alienating them. They have sucked when it comes to exclusives the last two years, and that has nothing to do with kinect. While I don't know how good this thing will be in the long run, if yo don't want it, don't get it. And if they don't make any hardcore games for it, who cares, it is desig...
I go to MSU B. I am in grad school there. Where do you live?
When you look up if your store has them on bestbuy.com they list your store and the next few stores closest too you. What an idiot.
Thats almost as bad as using wikipedia as source for a college term paper. Back to reality, I also would like to know who is buying all that microsoft "junk". If turning a huge profit every quarter after quarter after quarter isn't good enough, well then lets just say there aren't many good companies anymore. I would say there brand in not dying but it is not growing like wall street would like it too. No poll numbers will make me change my mind. Until I see profits fal...
