Lol, no
I don't need approvalWhy are you so desperate to seek approval from these forums. You must have countless bookmarks for your all-consuming obsession to make NeoGAF believe you're some kind of gaming news prophet.
How many hours a week do you spend on this crusade?
Nah stop it. Platforms come and go, doesn't mean the whole industry is crashing. And Xbox isn't even gone, things may look dark but they have a new console coming and supposedly 40 games in the pipeline. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
I can assure you if Sony was so healthy financially they wouldn't be full third party releasing games on Xbox and all of their tent pole franchises on PC.Ha, they cancelled some live service slop
The whole forum celebrated that
Microsoft just sucks lol.
They haven't done anything worthwhile since like 2009?

When is that Driveblub 2 coming? Before or after Gravity Rush 3?Both Sony and Nintendo are fine
Yes PC gaming will keep on growing, especially if Valve succeed to enter the living room properly, through Xbox and/or SteamOS. Cloud gaming could grow too but I'm not as certain on that.Honestly I see a lot of what MS is doing as acknowledging that consoles are not the future of gaming anymore. The way tech has advanced you can have the console experience in anything these days. Almost any smart phone is as good as a DS or PSP was on a technical/power level. Tablets even more so. NUC and ITX based PCs are looking slicker and more console like, powerd by steam OS and soon Xbox OS. These boxes are getting more powerful and may end up replacing consoles at the price points depending on if the likes of ASUS can match I build quality and reliability.
I lots of changes and the industry is having a hard time adjusting to it. Much like the music and movie businesses had their hard adjustments to make in the wake of streaming, and changes in peope habits in a post covid, economically fragile world that we live in today.
There will be more layoffs from other companies. Probably not to this scale because few have a workforce as large as MS in the first place.
Sad to see so many games get chances though. Especially Perfect dark. That game looked good. Everwild, we never really saw anything of, so it's hard to say if we were really missing out. All the same. None of this is a good sign for the industry as a whole.
GAF are literally becoming YouTubers with this type of BS click bait titles….all they need now is goofy face for thumbnails and transformation is complete.
About Commodore. Looks like you're going to have to live though a rebirth as well.Yes PC gaming will keep on growing, especially if Valve succeed to enter the living room properly, through Xbox and/or SteamOS. Cloud gaming could grow too but I'm not as certain on that.
Either way I just don't think this supposed Xbox train crash is a big deal at this point.
I lived through the birth and complete burial of Commodore, my alltime favorite brand. And I'm still here gaming as usual, I just make sure to still have working Commodore computers.
If Microsoft outright say that they're closing their gaming division, then it's over. Make sure you don't sell away your old consoles in that case, if you like their games.
But as long as they keep making and publishing games then at worst they'll be in software only. And that's no catastrophe tbh, you'll still be able to play their games on whatever other gaming device you own.
But as said. They aren't gone. Far from it. Coming years there is a big chance that you'll see more devices and software with Xbox logos than ever before.
I wish Commodore would've "died" that way. That would've been fantastic
And the whole industry crashing because of Xbox? lol nah
At least it's going better than Hollywood and the rest of the movie industry.It's not crashing. It's more like it's just lost in the middle of nowhere, driving painfully slow, a wheel is falling off, fuel is getting burned quickly, and everyone in the car is yelling at each other over which way to go.
also there is no AC.
Sony is not fine, they're still trying to figure out how to move forward after 5 billion dollar failing attempt on GAAS
Terminally online people lmao.Between this and the other dude claiming that MS is Satan I think some of you guys should really go outside more.
-Sony: Has made more money this gen than every previous gen combined
-Nintendo: Just had the most successful console launch...ever
-PC: Seems to be bigger and more popular than ever before, with steam just breaking their record with 40 million concurrent users a few months ago.

Yeah but that's one way to look at it, the other is that they made more money from PS5, than PS1-4 put together..Sony is not fine, they're still trying to figure out how to move forward after 5 billion dollar failing attempt on GAAS
No they didnt, dont be dumb.Yeah but that's one way to look at it, the other is that they made more money from PS5, than PS1-4 put together..
What the hell? I didn't say what you quotedNo they didnt, dont be dumb.
Problem is, they pissed it all away on GaaS and Bungie, and closed down Japan studios.Bro Sony is 100% fine. The PS5 generation is making them money hand over fist.
I wouldn't say that studios closing left and right is fine.Video games are selling more than ever.
The industry was fine when Sega had to leave the console hardware market. It'll be fine when MS leaves too.
Stop sucking Phil's cock.
Didn't he say just Western side? Haven't there been tons of layoffs for Western game studios?-Sony: Has made more money this gen than every previous gen combined
-Nintendo: Just had the most successful console launch...ever
-PC: Seems to be bigger and more popular than ever before, with steam just breaking their record with 40 million concurrent users a few months ago.

+1 on commodore. My first computer was an Amiga 500 and I was the envy of all my school friends back in the day…. As if my sega megadrive was not enough! Fond memories of the amiga. CVG magazine….. movie tie in games by ocean soft that we all though we're great but mostly sucked ( though robicip and total recall will always have a fond place in my heart in the amiga. Ordering US gold ports of arcade games. I still remember my mom buying the US gold platinum bundle that came with Frgotten worlds, ghouls and ghostsYes PC gaming will keep on growing, especially if Valve succeed to enter the living room properly, through Xbox and/or SteamOS. Cloud gaming could grow too but I'm not as certain on that.

The drawing was right there on the wall back in 2021 already:
MS isn't leaving though they're just trying to move in on what Steam has built over the yearsVideo games are selling more than ever.
The industry was fine when Sega had to leave the console hardware market. It'll be fine when MS leaves too.

Wait didn't Sony shut down multiple studios, layed off 100 hundreds of employees and cancelled 10 plus games ??? What makes them any better then Microsoftlol just because of MS is a fuck up, doesn't mean the industry is crashing . Both Sony and Nintendo are fine. MS are just fucking idiots and run by clowns . Nothing new here
All what Western devs want is entitlement . Work from home, spend most of the day do fuck nothing but cry about anti woke shit .
No wonder they are failing. Good riddance to be honest too. Hope they go flip burgers after this. 7 years to make a game with MS funding and you still can't get a proper alpha game out, you fucking deserve to get clowned and fucked
