microsoftt in trouble???

halo 3 was the main icon for microsoft both as a single player and esp. multiplayer. this game was the king of consoles. Key word "was". Since call of duty came out, it has snatched away the spot from halo 3..in terms of grapgics and gameplay and playability. the call of duty 4 is suppose to be better on the other consoles and PC's.

microsoft really has to step up their game next year, cuz i dont see any good exclusives coming to it except a couple :(

why does everyone bash on Halo 3?xRmRxfreakBOMB

Agreed, great game

and another thing...Why does everyone freak out about exclusives????? WHO CARES! As SHARVIE mentioned, as long as we get the game, who cares if its on PS3 and Wii...even better, because then all the fan boys will be crying because their game sucks and ours does not

why does everyone bash on Halo 3?xRmRxfreakBOMB

because it is overrated

If you're going to attempt to make your opinion look like a fact, at least try to make it look as if you put serious thought and consideration to back your theory up.

people are still buying up halo3

MS owns lots of game studios

lion head for example

Rare and so on

lots of people support them as well ie mistwalker from japan! JAPAN! japan doesnt even like the 360 that much

Team NINJA

and so on

while they dont ahve a huge falg ship right now, they have a fleet of ships heading to the market.

Even if Mircosoft never makes another game, how much money a year do they make from live subscriptions alone? Not to mention all the money they are still making off other games they have made (Gears and Halo)MyndFlyte

And where did you read this?

stop stating your opinion as fact, i liked halo 3 more than cod4, and apparently, so did reviewersNintendoWarrior

I gaurentee more people play Halo 3 than Call of Duty 4. COD4 gets boring once you've hit the cap level. Halo is a much more fun "casual" game imo.

Actually, this year Microsoft's gaming division finally turned profit after 6 years. XBL is part of that division, so I'm nearly certain that MS is making "dollars" off of XBL.

Thinking about it, XBL shouldn't even hurt MS. Considering the fact that it doesn't require much to connect consoles. It depends on the devs and how they want to run their games on Live. Services found on Halo 3 won't be found in R6V. MS publishes Halo, yes, but Bungie is responsible for keeping track of all that. If Ubisoft wanted to, they can have their devs performe services like that of Halo 3.

Even so, the broadband companies are reaping the benefiets of Live on a small to medium level.

This all depends what people are talking about. If it's the entertainment and device division, yes they lost like 1.2 billion or something like that. Overall though their profits rose from last year and they made over 3 billion in profits. Had it not been for the RRoD repair thing they would have made even more.

nice try buts only one quarter. the gaming division has yet to fill the void it created when they launched the two systems.

If Microsoft got out of the gaming industry which will never happen, it would still be bigger than ever. They are not in any trouble whatsoever.

At the time of my post, with the current information available, I'm correct. 1 quarter is 1 quarter yes, however next quarter is undetermined.

its going to take more than 2 quarters to fill the hole they dug.

Why are people so obsessed with COD4. Ive played it and I wasnt too impressed and it didnt live up to all the hype people gave it. The campaign was ok, but I would never really play it gain probably, it was nothing special. It was very repetitive.The multiplayer is decent I guess, but its similar to that of Rainbow Six. The graphics were ok on my friends tv, but the Halo 3 is a game you can always come back and enjoy. The story sucks you in and the battles are always awesome with the many weapons and vehicles. COD4 online will get old for people like Rainbow Six Vegas did and nobody would play it. i think think the other Cod games were better. i like COD2 the best.

There are bunch of great games to come that are being made but haevnt been announced. Games like Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Splinter cell, Unreal 3, Gta 4, and many others.

Nah, Microsoft is the king of MARKETING lol, they'll go to insane heights to sell their stuff. I've heard rumors of paid actors going on the news and saying bad things about the PS3, and things like that. Microsoft doesn't care, I mean, they already charged people to play online! Xbox live is cool though, but man, every other online thing is already free! PC, wii, ps3, all have free online play, and Steam is just as good as Xbl, and it's free!

Gamerscore buying things is pretty cool though, not a selling point for me though.

Nice, you don't see any except a couple... so you see some huh?
