Che significa TDA?
The Dark Ages.
A ok lol, non so perché non ci ho pensato e immaginavo fosse qualcosa riferito alla data, solo che non mi tornava perché oramai è nota.
Vabo ng4 è in parte finanziato da Microsoft. Quindi a conti fatti siamo a 3/4 giochi in 12+mesi e nessun gioco di fascia alta.
Il punto è che nel mezzo hanno pubblicato AoM, CoD, Indiana Xbox, FS 2024, H2... Volente o nolente una rerelease è comunque una release, non puoi chessò pubblicare di botta Gears5, HaloMCC, Starfield mentre stai già pubblicando DOOM, e South of Midnight rischi di congestionare la comunicazione e il pubblico di acquirenti. I port di roba vecchia saranno sempre per forza di cose scaglionati, mentre sulla roba nuova sembrano sulla traiettoria della release simultanea dove possibile (per dire SoM non ce la fa, magari neanche FABLE riuscirà ad avere più build pronte al D1).
A meno di 100 si prende anche il Wonderswan.
Tolto bethesda di ms studios interno e' uscito ben poco, inoltre i futuri titoli come arrowed e TOW 2 usciranno su ps5
Console contraction drives subscriptions saturation
Over ten years ago, Microsoft launched Xbox One, a singular device to drive Xbox's ecosystem of games, software and services.
Fast forward to today, and Microsoft's new "This is an Xbox" campaign attempts to raise consumer awareness that smartphones, laptops, TVs, handhelds, streaming sticks, and VR headsets are also Xboxes, de-emphasizing the console as the center of the Xbox ecosystem.
- Xbox has endured two generations of console decline. As Xbox Series X/S ends its fifth calendar year on the market, Omdia's Games Hardware Database estimates that its installed base will fall short of its Xbox One predecessor by 5m units (see Figure 1). This threatens the active installed base long-term.
- Xbox's content ecosystem has become subscriptions driven, impacting full game purchase revenues as key blockbuster games content sees day-and-date releases on the platform.
- Game Pass subscriptions remain console-driven despite cloud offering. Omdia's Game Subscriptions and Cloud Gaming Market Forecast reveals that the penetration rate of subscriptions for console-focused Game Pass tiers among active Xbox consoles will surpass 66% in 2024.
- Microsoft is now the steward of valuable multi-platform content. Its $69bn acquisition of Activision Blizzard King gives it control of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush Saga, following its ownership of Bethesda series Fallout and Elder Scrolls.
Xbox is not ready to be unshackled from its console core
Omdia's Game Subscriptions and Cloud Gaming Market Forecast estimates subscriptions to PC Game Pass at the end of 2024 will stand at under a sixth of all Game Pass tiers combined, so the platform represents plenty of potential for Microsoft to exploit.
Omdia analysis of annual Xbox console game launches reveals that the bulk of titles continue to launch without an accompanying Xbox PC release via the Microsoft Store, as indicated by the lack of "Play Anywhere" support (see Figure 2).
