Singapore-based Flextronics has reportedly landed about 90% of Xbox One orders from Microsoft with Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) acquiring the remaining 10%, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. Pegatron Technology and Wistron, which were originally said to have a chance of landing orders, have failed to do so.

Will you guys ask the console is from Flextronics or Foxconn if you choose walk-in to buy

No as I don't think that was the source of the problem. 

a Foxconn plant forced many Xi'an Technological University students to work overtime in order to manufacture PlayStation 4s. The students stated that they were forced to work these hours, for fear of losing credits. This "internship" required students to work outside of their field of study and sometimes included manual labor. 

For hypothetical reasons let's say that these allegations are true and that they truly did sabotage the PS4 units.  There is other companies that also use Foxconn (namely Apple, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo),and hasn't had this problem so in this case it seems to be constricted to only Sony and those interns.  Different workers will be on different projects I would assume and who knows if they were interns or not.  Also a lot of this is because they were forced over time when we don't know if workers were forced to do overtime for other products let alone the same workers.

I'm also really excited about Black Tusk, rumor has it that they're working on 2 additional AAA IP's in addition to the one teased at E3.


They actually have four games rumored to be in developement.

Black Tusk Studios working on “four unannounced new IP”

Microsoft’s Black Tusk Studios in Vancouver has four games in development, according to a LinkedIn resume belonging to the firm’s senior product manager/product planner, Jonathan Browne.

 

According to Browne, during his stint at the studio since 2010, he has “been the primary product manager on four unannounced new IP,” and has been a “key contributor to bringing these IP from the very early concept phase through green light to production.”

Microsoft announced its Vancouver studio was renamed Black Tusk Studios back in November, and that was “working on Microsoft’s next big entertainment franchise.”

Studio manager Mike Crump also said at the time the firm was working on what it hoped would be the “next Halo”.

Thanks, Gematsu.

I'm looking forward to Osaka the most, I want to see more Japanese games on X1 (not just Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy).



I love how people rate the Xbox One launch lineup before it has even been released.http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5811799

This has been happening a lot too. I find it annoying personally.

There are a lot of things I find annoying on this site haha.



 

Jay I think you forgot Rare.
They have 3 separate studios working on 3 different Ips (K.Rivals one of them).
I read on IGN (in the words of Phil Spencer), that Rare's aiming to revive one of their old IPs.
So I would defo put them on the list.



IGN gettin Xboxified :P
