    You are correct about the marketshare. Howerver, I wasn't far off.

    They went down to just above 2%. Now that they are abandoning the PPC and switching over to X86 what do you think their sales will be for the next few quarters?

  2. Re:Losers Love To Talk 'Strategy' by gabebear · · Score: 1 · on Music Biz Figures Into 360 Strategy

    I believe by "Marketplace losers" the grandparent was talking about finances. I'm not sure how much M$ has lost in the XBox venture but it's well over a billion dollars now. Microsoft's XBox division has been able to post a loss every quarter except for the one quarter when Halo2 was released.

    TFA didn't explain this, but it depends on what you mean by "success".

    The XBox division of Microsoft has lost over a billion dollars and the only quarter they posted a profit was when Halo2 was released. If either Sony or Nintendo where operating like this then they would be shutting their doors, however when you have the INCREDIBLY lucrative Windows and Office monopolies you can afford to spend a couple billion to establish yourself. Competition is good, but I hope Microsoft don't drive the real companies out of business.

    If Microsoft thinks Google's a one- hit wonder, why in heaven's name do they keep following them??

  5. Two (!) HDMI Ports! by Alzheimers · · Score: 3, Interesting · on PlayStation 3 Press Conference Tonight

    From FirstAdopter.com

    AV Output
    Screen size: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
    HDMI: HDMI out x 2
    Analog: AV MULTI OUT x 1
    Digital audio: DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) x 1

    Two HDMI out ports? If the PS3 can drive two displays, that would explain the support for the seven bluetooth controllers. I wonder what kind of performance hit that would mean, at 1080p x2

    PS3: lanparty in a box!

  7. Another Sad Adieu by ackthpt · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Troika Games Closes
    we had the pleasure of working with the some of the most dedicated, hard working, creative people in the industry, and we really appreciate all that they did for Troika."

    Meanwhile the ruthless prosper while throwing breadcrumbs to their employees. Seems one more failure ensures the continued trend.

    It's a hard world.
