The online survey, which sampled an unnamed number of respondents ages 18-49, found that 43 percent of Americans are watching more DVDs. Another 26 percent say they are spending more time playing video games.
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."
late night TV show hosts facial hair is also up by 89%
I don't think it's the writer's strike that boosted video games sales. It's more likely that during the holiday season people bought a lot of video games and DVDs so they are watching/playing what they bought. This reasoning makes more sense to me.
Hasn't been a whole lot worth watching on the tele or at theaters as of late anyway. Breaking Bad had an surprisingly awesome premiere though.
Double posting gives you luck, and onions.
I for one have played a lot more then normally due to the fact that TV sucks right now.. I mean how many times can I watch seinfeld re-run episodes.
I needed some new content like yesterday, and due to there being none, I have turn to my 360 and I am now at two prestige ranks away from the gold cross (which if you didn't know is the highest prestige rank you can get)
Everyone I play see's my high rank and then tells me I have no life, to which I replay thank you for informing me on this, as if I couldn't see that I play a lot.... LoL
Anyway let's hope the strike is over soon because TV sucks big time right now.. I would gladly give them 5 dollars (And if everyone who watches these shows did the same I'm sure the strike would be over) to just to say I appreciate you, and please get back to writing already.
I don't know how much of this re-run stuff I can take. At this rate I have already doubled what I would normally buy for my systems, and have added just about whatever I could find that looked good and put it in my amazon cart. Which by the way is - $599.00 dollars on video games
So far I got - Battlefield: Bad Company 360
...............Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 360
...............Grand Theft Auto IV PS3
...............Mafia II 360
...............Left 4 Dead 360
...............Gran Turismo: 5 Prologue PS3
...............Burnout Paradise PS3
...............Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots PS3
...............Resident Evil 5 PS3
...............Alan Wake 360
2008 is already looking like an expensive year... LoL
