They don't need any new IP

Microsoft has really given up on first-party development huh? They just pump out the occasional Halo or Gears. Oh and Forza.

They have so much money but they don't want to make new IP.

big publishers stopped releasing a dozen or more games a year. EA released 3 non-sports games this year. They have no space on their schedule to publish something new

MS has given up on their gaming division. They are fully committed to their windows 10 botnet and NSA/PR Is M12 1 contracts

Only reason they still bother is Halo makes so much money.

Does EA even develop first party games anymore? They just publish and then absorb other companies

>gamesindustry.biz
What the fuck is this? I'm not giving these guys views if they're shit.

They've completely eased up on first-party games, they don't want to waste money keeping up appearances like Sony does with their movies and it's not like they even have a current playerbase that even cares about that shit anyways. You know since E3 the game they've been pushing the Xbox brand on the most is fucking DBZ, from their exclusive reveal trailer to all the Western promo gameplay using the Xbone version/controllers. No way in hell it's gonna work what with PS4 being like three times the install base, being the definitive choice for fighting games in the competitive scene, and Sony having that weird third-party clause in place, but it seems they're at least trying to ensure the unfortunate Xbone owners at least have shit to look forward to.

They are shit but also informative sometimes

>MS has given up on their gaming division. They are fully committed to their windows 10 botnet and NSA/PR Is M12 1 contracts
lol nice echochamber

How the fuck are they making money? Xbone doesn't sell for shit, XXbone is overstocked and not selling, they got even less games than PS4, and everybody still hates the fuck out of Microcock because of their spyware bullshit they tried to force on people. The fucking big game they've been peddling around is some ugly looking MMO shit that's still nowhere near release until like 2019.

>XXbone is overstocked and not selling
Bad news I'm afraid old chap.

games, they get 30%
Paid online (Xbox live Gold)
etc

muh crackdown 3

Name some recent non halo/gears first and second party games on xbox

All that growth is just from multi plats.

Burgers buy Xbot shit, live cards, and use w10. Without them, their gaming division would pump more money until the fags submit

The Xbox division has lost MS a fair bit of money in the totality of its lifetime. Sure there were some profitable years here and there, especially in the later part of the 360s lifespan, but overall its a cash sink for the larger corporation.
And MS doesn't give a fuck. They can keep it floating on money from Windows effectively forever. In all likelihood they'll continue to do just that for the foreseeable future because it gives them a foothold in another market space, as well as paying them some degree of dividends in terms of R&D. Plus, at least now in the age of the Xbone, it gives them another way to force Win10 and the UWP on people.

>41%
Really? I must have missed a whole bunch.
Oh wait. This has got to be just first party developed games. Sony only made a few so I guess that makes sense.
Ubisoft had a decent year though, for once. Relatively speaking.

And something is seriously wrong with all those zero percenters.

>lowest rated game: Vroom inthe Night Sky
It did look like shovelware. But is it really that bad?
It didn't look like asset flip trash at the very least. Or is it?

Tencent is so scary.

How did RE7 not make those VR lists?

They have no power outside china and they only control china because no other outside company is allowed to compete with them

>They have no power outside china

>Dude they make so much money on Halo, Gears a Forza they don't need to make anything else!

I always hated this excuse

Let's just pretend it's true though, why do YOU care? You're just a consumer, why are YOU content with not getting any new games as long as a billion dollar corporation is making money? There is literally no benefit for you

You proved my point thanks

Xbox 4 lyfe bruh

>Pokemon GO had 145 million downloads this year

I thought that shit was dead?

They really aren't.

I was going to sign up for a music streaming service on my Xbox so is could listen to my shitty music playing games. Obviously I was going to look for a Microsoft variant but found they are shutting down their Groove music service that year's end. They wanted me to try out Spotify so I did but I don't have a credit card, PayPal, ect. I use store bought gift cards to pay for things online and Spotify doesn't sell them in Canada. Can't even buy a Visa gift card for Spotify premium because fuck me.

No I won't get another credit card, I just finally got debt free. As for PayPal I could use this, but I would really rather not.

Guess I'll wait.

>imagine tencet buying Sega
Even with japan law, money finds a way.
They should by kadokawa, fuck them.

>MFW Tencent buys Xbox, uses the stake it has in Activision to make COD and Destiny exclusive and ultimately cucks Sony out of the industry for good.

>muh muh Nintendo has no new IP since 10 years ago

According to Wikipedia Nintendo published 11 games this year and only 3 of them (1,2 Switch, Arms and Snipperclips) were new IPs, where are they getting this number from?

Why not use a debit card?
I don't know how it works in Canada, but in the UK you get a debit card from your bank where your bank account is. Let's you access your money via card but only money that you own, for the most part.

Or are you going completely card less?
Should still get one and just keep it at home then and atleast uts there for times like these.

I'm looking into this now. I have a debit but can't use it make online purchases. But I just looked and my bank has an option for a virtual visa that debits my chequing account directly. Thanks user this might help me.

>They should by kadokawa, fuck them.
muh kemono fuckers, post how you want to fuck the retarded shoebyl

it's a free game on a mobile phone that has brand recognition, of course people are going to download it, but the amount of time they play it for per user is decreasing as interest wanes

>clash of clans
>pubg
Well, I'll be damned.

Will these hard numbers finally lay to rest the 15-year-old myth that Nintendo isn't constantly pumping out new IPs?

>It's another Xnigger who doesn't know the difference between revenue and profit

They aren't. They just do what they want in China and try to ban every company that oppose to them in China. They are even sided with the China governement.

good reason to satisfy your echochamber. Keep telling that yourself.

Flip Wars, Ever Oasis... and that's all

All EA does is sponge off their sports franchises and add microtransactions and shit

It's cancer

as usual

MS can't even maintain their win10 store correctly
>Quantum Break will never have the directx 11 update and performance boosts
>Dead Rising 4 still doesn't have the capcom heroes update while even steam has it

retard

They stopped spending money which is a great way to make money.

>>muh muh Nintendo has no new IP since 10 years ago

how do percentages work.

>stopped spending money
???
How do you think the Xbox one X was made??

Flipping a new sku of an existing model isn't rocket science.

Not true, they've just taken more of a supporting role. Ori and the Blind Forest 1&2, Cuphead etc. They're like the inverted Sony, supporting indie devs.

There is like 4.6 Teraflops difference between the S and X. You are crazy if you think it's just made from a new sku of an existing model

Forget what I said before.

This post here is the reason Microsoft is making money.

So you confirmed that you are a retard.

MS doesn't care about the xbox and their current pajeet management have wanted to kill the Xbox and perhaps even PC gaming entirely for awhile now.

EA don't make new IPs, they just buy popular developers, shiv them in the kidneys and then let them bleed to death while they cashing in guaranteed sales the studio's fanbois were good for. And Activision-Blizzard are still just drunk off WoW money, maybe one of these days they'll make something good instead of shitty card games or shitty mobas or shitty shootans.
