Microsoft sold only 4.5 million Lumia phones last quarter

Only 4.5 million Lumia phones were sold by Microsoft in the last quarter of 2015, according to the company's just released Q2 fiscal 2016 earnings report. That's down from the 10.5 million figure reported in the same quarter the year prior.
This translates into a drop of around 50% compared to the last quarter of 2014. Considering the latest IDC report which said that a total of around 400 million smartphones were shipped in Q4 2015, Microsoft's share comes out to be just over 1% for the quarter.
Well, what to say? The numbers speak for themselves. Hopefully Q1 which will be the first where the new Lumia trio - 550, 950 and 950XL is available for the full three months will help turn things around.

New 3DS XL Charging Cradles at Club Nintendo

Image
Coming October 31 in a bunch of colors. The Nintendo 3DS XL is a hefty piece of portable gaming hardware , and sometimes you may not feel like fumbling around with the tiny little connector on the end of an AC adapter. Currently, Nintendo sells a docking cradle for the 3DS XL, but it's only available in black. Just in time for Halloween, Club Nintendo members will be able to cash in some coins for giant charging pads in five new hues. According to the Club Nintendo site , the charging station will set you back 500 coins when it launches in the rewards catalog on October 31--a black 3DS XL charging cradle is currently priced at $19.99 on Nintendo's online store. Given the exclusivity of the colors, and the way rewards items have a tendency to sell out quickly on Club Nintendo, you may want to plan accordingly. The new cradles will be available in blue, red, yellow, green, and white. Nintendo announced the Elite Status gifts for Club Nintendo members back in J...

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Review

Image
Don't call it XCOM. I played through The Bureau: XCOM Declassified 's entire floundering tactical shooter campaign wondering how it planned to pull off a plausible prequel backstory to the freshly rebooted XCOM universe. When I got to the end, it didn't even seem to try, content to let us wonder why this 1960s version of XCOM didn't bother to tell 2010s XCOM (of XCOM: Enemy Unknown) that hostile aliens exist and that there's a closet full of working plasma guns somewhere. Not making sense doesn't seem to bother The Bureau, either in story or in its flawed attempt to use permanent death mechanics and strangely shoddy construction. But it sure bothered me. ...
