The begining to the mid lifespan of a console is it's most profitable. Amd semi custom division took in during its 3rd quarter of 2016 $835 million dollars which played a significant part in keeping the company going. It made more than their gpu sales that quarter. Again, mid console span. So to say the console business is just towing the bottom line and didn't strongly contribute to a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy years back. Doesn't give credit were credits due. ...
Well of course she is. The console business helped to keep the company alive in it's lean years. Now it's just about riding the gravy train.
True....and the ps4 is one heck of an achievement and a great console. But as @zacfolder says it does have a strong chance of surpassing the PS4.
Well Nintendo is breaking sales records. It's way ahead where the PS4 was at the same time. Plus it can dock and you can play it as a Console. Best of both Worlds.
Nintendo the best selling console of the year. Congrats Nintendo.
Nintendo is all over the list. Third highest selling game of the group. For all the grief Call Of Duty gets, twelve years in a row at the top of the list is impressive.
So Phil himself has said that the deal (Bethesda) isn't finial, so he can't legally speak until it is. So everyone preaching about lack of transparency, are obviously just ignorant of the fact MS can't talk about it yet regarding them.
Good thing they are taking steps to address this. If they want to sell Gamepass globally, then they should make it mandatory for all their games.
You have to admit the Switch just keeps rocketing upwards.
Pretty game but not much substance in the article.
Pretty cool
It's a really good read. To bad many on here don't take the time.
Another cherry picked quote from a really good article on bloomberg. The article was interviewing the executives that started Xbox and how it all came together.....A really interesting read.
I thought the same thing. I wonder if you can get optional legs for it?
At first glance I didn't know which one was real and which one was fake.
Didn't know they made a soccer game.
Glad they didn't try and replicate a Silent Hill experience. From alot of the previews I've read, it seems this game has its own style of gameplay. Which I'm glad, enough of living in the past and move forward with fresh experiences.
I've had this problem a couple of times. Glad they are addressing it.
That would be really be cool to have. Always loved playing pinball, the original twitch gaming machine.
They way they went about it was wrong. They should of done a survey and sent emails out. They seem to make some brash decisions at times. Testing the market by doubling the price of your product is not the way to find out. When Xbox 1 launched they put out all the DRM stuff and always on, reversed it after the backlash but the damage to the brand was done. It only hurts the brand and produces distrust in the gaming community. But I'm glad they listened and did an immediate about face. T...
