LG Announces Record Smartphone Shipments of 10.3 million

LG has announced that it shipped a record 10.3 million smartphones during the last fiscal quarter. Revenues in the South Korean firm’s mobile business grew by 28.5% year-on-year to 3.21 trillion won (£1.94 billion), but the company’s overall earnings saw a sharp decline.

Lg_optimus_hd

Overall profits for the first three months of 2013 amounted to $20.3 million, a stark contrast to the $221.7 million reported last year. However, LG’s smartphone success helped it rake in $13.01 billion in revenue, a 6.8% increase.

The upturn was attributed to sales of LG’s Optimus G, Optimus G Pro, Optimus L series and Nexus 4 smartphones, and the promise of new additions to these ranges has seen the firm forecast further gains during the next quarter.

The company did not fare well in the television market, with revenue plummeting to $4.77 billion due to lower-than-expected sales of its plasma line.

Sales of its LCD sets did increase in Europe, China and developing countries, but the firm expects the TV market to remain stifled for the foreseeable future.

Batman: Arkham Origins has been rumoured to feature a multiplayer mode. The Warner Bros Montreal game will be the first in the franchise to do so, according to Kotaku.

Batman-origins-game-informer

A source has claimed that one section of the multiplayer mode will see gamers take on the role of members of the Joker or Bane’s gang to go up against Batman and Robin.

The same source previously informed Kotaku correctly about the game’s title and its setting on Christmas Eve. Warner Bros refused to comment on the rumour.

The Arkham Asylum prequel will feature villains including Black Mask, Deathstroke, Alberto Falcone and the Penguin.

Arkham Origins will be based around similar mechanics to the previous two instalments, along with new moves and gadgets for the Dynamic Duo.

It is the first game that will not be developed by Rocksteady Studios. Batman: Arkham Origins will arrive on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U on October 25.

“One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten in the last few years is, ‘When are you going to make a Ratchet & Clank movie?'” said senior community manager James Stevenson.

“The truth is, we’ve wanted to do a movie for a long time! Ratchet & Clank‘s action, humour and galaxy-spanning adventures have really been the basis for a fantastic game series, and we think it’d translate perfectly to the big screen.”

ratchetandclank3

The last game in the series, Ratchet & Clank: QForce, was released on PS3 last year and will soon receive a PS Vita version.

Announced last year was Ratchet: Gladiator HD, a re-release of the 2005 PS2 game that sees Ratchet & Clank compete in an underground reality combat show.
