"It’s that time of year again, and the perfect moment to start placing bets on the upcoming E3 Announcements. Here’s a few to get you started!" | Explosion.com
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Nintendo: Favored to win
Microsoft: Underdog
Sony: Chance to upset
New hardware will always attract attention, while software is important. E3 is a gamer's paradise, so I'm willing to embrace to flow of anticipation this year :P.
nintendo won:
e3 10 with the 3ds reveal
e3 11 with the great 3ds lineup and wiiu controller unvailing
e3 12 they have a big chance now that they will take off the veil of the wiiu and reveal the games lineup along with new 3ds games
Microsoft needs unveil a new IP. Halo 4 a GREAT exclusive but that's it this year.Gears of war pre-quel most likely next year, Fable the journey I dont rlly want more kinect titles. Microsoft can't depend on gears,halo,fable, and forza forever.
Sony: Looks to have a good game lineup already idk what they haven't announced that might be at E3. Only thing I don't want is them focusing too much on PSvita.
Nintendo:WiiU and 3DS. Show us what the WiiU can do. 3DS more games
