The Wii U is a fairly priced, innovative console with a great selection of fun first-party exclusive games

Yes but I'm talking about the old wii-u back when it was 350 bucks and had no games.

 Some people want rock band instruments for this piece of plastic which I have no feelings for or against really

pksage posted:

If first party next-gen plastic instruments ever got manufactured -- the odds of which I'm putting at several thousand to one -- you'd presumably be able to buy band bundles again, which was how most of us got started back in the day. My bigger problem would be that I'm 100% used to my full-size Strat replica and ION kit, which won't work on the Xbox One, and gently caress spending money on inferior instruments when I have these perfectly good ones sitting around.

But, again, next-gen Rock Band will almost assuredly not be like RB1/2/3. If we get anything, it'll be some kind of Blitz 2 or a new spin-off.

I listened to the quarterly report call, but I found nothing suggesting epic ownage of the Xbox one.

I was expecting someone to call it a piece of crap. Because that's what made the Blackberry quarterly reports so entertaining, the stockholders were atleast honest and used the devices themselves.

Shadow Puppet Of posted:

Read the linked financial statements. It's all about growth!
Bing revenue up 40%
Commercial Rev. up 13%
Devices and Consumer revenue grew 42% to $10.00 billion
Commercial cloud revenue grew 147%

As a business school graduate I can tell ya. They are doing freaking great. The whole push to cloud and mobile is working, and gaming revenue is up.
"Computing and Gaming Hardware revenue increased $274 million or 23%, driven by higher Surface and Xbox Platform revenue."

Sony has their investor Earnings Announcement on July 31. What do ya'll expect to hear? Anything to pull them from "junk-bond" status?

This generation is off to a great start....period. As X1/PS4 exclusive games hit, the push will accelerate even quicker. As AC: Unity, Witcher 3, Sunset, Halo 5, and others hit, people will make choices. As an X1 fan, I want PS4 to sell!!! Why? Cause MS has so much drat money they will fight to hook me up even more. (i.e. free games, cheaper live, that whole Gamestop money blowout). Plus, as we ditch last gen, new games will get the true next gen attention from devs. So stop this drat hate bs. Ceasefire. Wish the competitor goodluck, cause all it does it help you personally.
