Thus, more than 77 million systems were implemented in total around the world. The number of Xbox Live subscribers also continues to grow. Over 46 million users are registered in the service of the melon moment, while their influx increased by 18% compared to last year.
So 77 million copies were sold around the world, and 44 million were registered, so what kind of birth they are in full that the world has long been connected to the Internet.
After acquiring little Skype, he had a disgusting-mymissilistic design (and this, taking into account that I like minimalism), was drinking a bunch of advertising and the process began to occupy 60-90MB memory.
As for the box, I am not ready for a constant online with my operator (house.ru). I will definitely take the console and most likely it will be Sony.
This is income, not net profit.For such a large company that is not engaged in everything in a row and there are not so many.
There will be no new service. They just add functionality from the new console to this. You can play with both consoles, just on the old there will be no new functions. No one will even start new accounts.
For a long time. Almost the entire base will sit at 360 while the games will release it. When they begin to release exclusives to Nekstgen, then everyone slowly begins to switch to a new box.
but nothing that there is a list of all the axes starting with their appearance, and even if you discard the old ones and leave only the current Masdai occupies most of the OS. at least in the home sector
And this is only an OS, even in the consoles they have competitors, well, for example, “little -known” PS3 and Nintendo. And on the mobile market there are also a couple of competitors, though also “little -known” Anra and iOS.
A rumor about the requirement of a constant online connection at the box720 refuted the new hearing that such a requirement will not be.
Think for yourself, publish software and games for PC, table, bean, mobile; cooperate with a bunch of iron manufacturers for all of the above.
depending on what they banish. If for behavior, then it is possible, but if there is no pirate then. But since 2010, I have not listened to about banks on boxes. There were only a couple of waves. Well, from Fribut Ban is guaranteed.
