Foxconn Electronics and Pegatron have begun production of the PlayStation (PS) 4 Pro, a new Sony game console to be launched on November 10, and Foxconn has undertaken trial production of the NX, a new Nintendo games console, according to industry sources.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
I'm excited for my PS4 Pro... I hope they have enough for everyone
Make them stop!
hopefully we get to see what the nx is like soon. I want a pro, but i wish it was the ffxv luna ver instead of the slim.
i am gonna buy ps4 pro and hopefully some of the released games will get a patch soon after to make them play in better res and fps
some games that i hope will support ps4 pro
witcher 3(yes cd project red have said they won't i still hope they do)
mafia 3
uncharted 4
ratchet and clank
fallout 4
dues ex
watch dogs but now sure if i will play it WD2 simply just doesn't excite me at the moment(and i bought original wd
I'm gonna sit out the PS4 Pro for a while. I think it's a pretty good console but there's a lot of good games for PS4 coming out around the same time like Dishonored 2, Battliefield 1, WatchDogs 2, etc. and games aren't cheap. I also think the Pro has taken attention away from PlayStation VR as well. Personally i think Sony should have waited until sometime next year for PS4 Pro and focused more on selling their VR platform which is already difficult enough to advertise. Now on top of the launch of VR which is $400, you have another console launching only a month later for $400. Lets also not forget about the PS4 Slim at $300. It's only my opinion and I'm no expert but I think Sony is trying to sell too much hardware at the same time.
