@RosweeSon As a gamer, you are not the target audience of a quarterly financial report lol. Investors are - and investors care about one thing, dollars.
And ultimately, dollars are what matter - you can't buy Zenimax with 'we sold X consoles' - but you can with 7.5bn dollars.
Yes, this is the next-gen upgrade - but your game progress won't carry over.
Looking forward to playing this on couch coop. Never played the WiiU version (for obvious reasons).
Looks good - minus Control UE. That game has become a mess, for example having to restart your game if you made progress on the PS4 version. Finished the base game last-gen but wanted to play the expansions on next-gen.
Right... but I don't want to wait 4 months and then pay $60-70. I'll play it today on PC via Game Pass, thanks!
Also HZD & Death Stranding came to PC, but I still played them on my PS4 - so what's your point? Does being on another platform somehow de-value Medium, HZD and DS?
@Spinesaw Yes it is struggling so much - that’s how Xbox just bought Zenimax for 7.5bn - using Monopoly money
/s
Xbox posts profit too.
@RazzerRedux if it’s a gaming site why would gamers care at all about earnings calls, revenues, units sold or how many subscribers a platform has?
If you’re going to compare financials you have to compare the overall company.
Ok potatoseal we can ignore the official earnings call that states Xbox is turning a profit. If it makes you feel better ;)
Also at the end of the day, financials it’s MS vs Sony that matters not Xbox vs PlayStation because both are only as strong as their parent company.
Microsoft turning profits of 15bn per quarter allows them to sink 7.5bn into devs like Zenimax - something Sony could only dream of doing.
Wait until Sony announces their MAU and subs in their earnings call... you’re going to be deeply disappointed to find out PS has services too!
Last place yet still a more valuable company than any competitor corporation.
Sony and Nintendo would happily switch places.
Oh look a salty fanboy.
100+ million PS4s in the wild
But only 2 million PSNow subs (launched 7+ years ago) and 5 million PSVR? How embarrassing!
potatoseal: "Microsoft is carrying Xbox!" & "But lets not start thinking Xbox division is a money maker. They're in the red."
Microsoft: "Xbox just had its biggest quarter, and made profit"
How does something that makes profit, need carrying? or be in the red? Only makes sense if you're a salty fanboy.
And yes, they could likely buy Capcom and Konami if MS, the companies & JP government agreed, given ...
That's literally how every corporation, including Sony and Nintendo, report their financials.
If you read further, there are dollar amounts, and it was their biggest quarter ever.
There is indeed no PS5 version. I suspect some form of Xbox deal? On their twitter they announced the release date for all consoles in one tweet, and then re-announced Xbox separately.
I wouldn't be surprised if this showed up in Game Pass at some point.
This looks pretty cool, a good throwback to old platformer gamers. Only $30 too.
@rdgneoz3
The 360 days? Those days ended like 7-8 years ago. Things change, the tech industry as a whole has moved to subscriptions & DAU/MAU.
"So if you went to a friends house to play couch co-op, made a profile to save your data and played for a bit, that counts as an active use" Well that's not true, co-op profiles are not Xbox Live enabled, they are local to the console / offline - nor do they subscribe to Game Pass.
Damage control for the past few days? Earnings calls are scheduled far in advance, and are not controlled by Xbox.
That makes no sense - increasing the price of a subscription does not increase the number of subscribers... If anything it would reduce it due to cancellations.
I don't doubt it! I just never got a Wii U, but definitely picking this up on Switch.
