Gamernode: Microsoft's current project intended to secure another twenty years of dominance in the home computer market, the tabletop PC, is now set for release this Spring.
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."
FLOP
For Microsoft to really make lots of money out of this wouldn't it have to appeal to the home market as well? Or at least to more of a market than the odd hotel?
I actually think that one of the main reasons this won't take off is because of Health and Safety. A boring reason I know but how people sit at a PC for long periods of time (anything over an hour really) can really affect their comfort. Being hunched over a table would cause peoples neck and back muscles to stiffen. People who are sensitive to this (like me) really couldn't take that. I would be suffering for many hours after using the thing.
It wont take over or anything any time soon. The reason why our current setup is so successful is because we have different peripherals for everything. That is to say, a monitor is a monitor, a keyboard is a keyboard, and a tower is a tower. If any of those components fails, we just replace it. But what happens when your touch screen or projection tabletop dies on you? Well then the whole thing's no good.
It will take over. Once the price drops below a grand. Which means never.
Otherwise, yeah. It's basically various great ideas packed into a way too expensive box. The cost will kill it.
It a nice/cool idea, but i dont see it ever replacing the stand PC layout.
Personally, i just want to know how much its gonna cost!
