Xbox Live Arcade revenues up 67 per cent
Microsoft has announced that it saw a 58 per cent increase in unique members purchasing titles on Xbox Live Arcade during its five-week Summer of Arcade program.
The period saw a number of high profile titles released on the downloadable service, including Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Braid. Microsoft further announced that August broke the monthly revenue high by 67 per cent.
"At E3, we committed to re-focusing the Xbox Live Arcade business, vowing to release bigger and better games while focusing on quality and not quantity," said Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox Live.
"The debut of the new strategy proved to be a huge success, with the Summer of Arcade making August the highest grossing month to date. But the focus on quality games doesn't stop with the Summer of Arcade. We have plenty more great titles coming out in the next few months and beyond that we think will continue to fuel this incredible momentum."
Logisch. Ist aber normal, aktuell beutelt's so ziemlich alle Aktien gewaltig. Für Nintendo war entsprechend scheiße, im Topix (offizieller japanischer Index) notiert zu werden - dadurch wirken sich allgemeine Marktschwankungen wesentlich stärker auf ihren Kurs aus als früher.Hm... Ich werde daraus ned so schlau
Aber Minus ist nicht so gut, oder?![]()
Unless you've been in a darkened room playing Spore with the TV off for the past month, you're probably aware the US is in the midst of a dire financial crisis. That fact was underlined today, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 679 points to end the day at 8,579, or down 7.33 percent. That's the first time since 2003 that the index has closed below 9,000, and was the sixth triple-digit single-day loss in a row.
But while the news was grim on the New York Stock Exchange, it was slightly better on the NASDAQ which saw its composite index fall a still-painful 95.21 points, or 5.47 percent. America's second-largest market is home to many technology stocks, including the majority of third-party video game publishers touted as "recession-proof" by some analysts.
Indeed, comparing the closing September 9 and October 9 share prices of four top publishers, it's clear some of the biggest names in games are hemorrhaging market value. Worst off is Take-Two Interactive, which has lost 40 percent of its share price in a month, going from $21.77 to $13.01. Besides overall market woes, the decline was also in large part due to Electronic Arts' abandonment of its Take-Two takeover bid, which was $26 per share at its highest point.
Ironically, EA was also a big loser during the Sept. 9-Oct. 9 period. Despite a recent spate of hits like Spore and Warhammer Online, the publisher's stock value has shrunk 37 percent over the month, going from $44.21 to $27.80. More alarming is the fact EA's stock value has nose-dived 53 percent in the past year, having been worth $59.94 on October 9, 2007.
Also battered in the value-loss demolition derby was THQ, which shed 39 percent of its value, sinking from $13.83 to $8.34. Over the past year, the WWE Smackdown! and Saints Row 2 publisher has lost 68 percent of its value.
The last and least money-losing game company was Activision Blizzard, which shaved 28 percent--$4.67--off its shares during the month, ending at $11.95. No year-on-year comparisons are available for the newly minted Guitar Hero and World of Warcraft-maker, which was formed in July by the union of Activision and Vivendi Games.
Things were also tough for companies with major game interests, such as the two console companies traded on US stock markets. On the NASDAQ, Xbox 360-maker Microsoft lost $3.80 (14 percent) during the month to close at $22.30, down from $30.10 a year ago. On the NYSE, Sony Corp. fared worse, suffering a $11.91 monthly drop (33 percent), to end up at $23.51.
Despite the apparent game-industry-wide drubbing, analysts are confident the game industry will fare better in a recession than other sectors. "If people aren't traveling and stay home, what are they going to do? They'll want relatively cheap home entertainment," David Gibson, senior analyst at Macquarie Research Equities, told the Wall Street Journal. "[And] core gamers will buy the titles when they come out, regardless of economics."

Für mich heisst das nur, das es dieses Jahr zu 100% keine Preissenkung geben wird.Kam gerade im TV, Sony hat 2 Mrd Wertverlust hinnehmen müssen![]()
Lol Sony hat innerhalb eines Jahres die Hälfte an Wert verloren
Die Firma ist noch 17,28 Mrd wert
Heute sind die Sonyaktien um 12 % gefallen, war wohl die TGS schuld
Also war das mit den 2 Mrd Verlust auf heute bezogen :-D
ABer Hallo,Ich frage mich ob die Finanzkrise auch einen größeren Einfluss auf das Kaufverhalten der Leute nehmen wird.
Jop, wenn dies überhaupt größere Auswirkungen auf die Unterhaltungsindustrie hat werden wir das sicherlich in den nächsten Monaten zu spüren bekommen, besonders in den USA.ABer Hallo,
Kleinkredite werden z.Zt kaum vergeben, auch die Kredite im Einzelhandel werden nur sporadisch und nach genauer Prüfung vergeben.
Die Lage ist mehr als angespannt.
AUch in Japan selbst fängt es so langsam an, der erste Versicherer hat schon pleite gemacht.
Man spricht zwar von einem Einzelfall, aber das wurde ja auch in den Usa gesagt.
Das Finanzwesen ist z.Zt ein klein wenig in Aufruhr.
Das gefällt dir richtig was?
