disolitude on 11 February 2008
| Gazz said: I've said it before and I'll keep repeating it again and again. MS will leave the console business and go back to their core. MS has not won the battle of making a profit. They had 2 good quarters, but even those haven't made a dent in their huge losses. The Wii affects 360 users, but the effects of that are overrated. I do believe that Wii sales affect the 360 more then they do the PS3. The last one is of course a bit more powerful and known for its multimedia features. I love my Wii, but I really don't have it for that, don't even have it hooked up to the net actually. Fable 2 being the second best selling ip means absolutely nothing on a console that dealt with low sales. It just shows that Halo was the game for ms and they sold that developer. Still exclusively making games for MS just translates to: waiting for better offer. The sale of bungie once again pointed out that MS is selling their gamedivision bit by bit while they can get a really good price. |
MS didn't sell Bungie, they left and became independent company called Bungie LLC with Microsoft holding a minority stake in them. It was the best move for everyone involved... If Nintendo allowed Rare to do the same thing back in late 90's they'd still be making great games.
As far as Xbox 360 being done this year...http://xbox360.ign.com/index/release.html
While you're there, compare it for the PS3 one...not much difference at all except for a few exclusives that go one way and few that go the other. I know that quantity doesn't mean anything but Xbox360 list has about 40 games more than PS3. Just thought I'd point that out as its far from over for the 360.
