"Back at E3 2006, Xbox 360 gamers were given a glimpse of the future when Microsoft demonstrated their upcoming cross-platform, always-connected technology, Live Anywhere. Waiting in line for groceries? Snoop on friends' Gamerscores with your cell phone, and message them while they play. Play a few games on a Pocket PC and earn some Gamerscore on the road yourself. But the hallmark of the demonstration consisted of painting a Forza 2 car model on a mobile phone, sending it to your 360 for use in the game, and unlocking an Achievement in the process."
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."
Microsoft has solidified themselves to be the habitual liars of the computer and gaming industry. Their snide and uncouth business traditions have been well documented. It's no coincidence that Peter Moore, Bill Gates and several others have abandoned the Microsoft Corporation in hopes to save face before the entire company falters.
Live anywhere is nothing more than an idea created by the poor Microsoft R&D department. In theory, you would think this is a good idea, but with the shoddy hardware of XBOX 360, this idea will never come to frutition.
Once again, XBots have taken personal offense to Dark Sniper's comments as they continue to WAIT B3YOND for true next generation features to appear on their Waitbox 360.

Every major company promises something big every once in a while and allot of these promises get delayed or don't ever see the light of day.
Anyway this feature is for obsessed gamers only.
They probably just hope we forgot about it after Halo dropped.. i was only excited about it for like 6 seconds after i heard about it.. maybe it SUCKED
"the basic idea of Live Anywhere [was] having Live with you wherever you go and being able to interact with your other Live-connected devices (like your Zune, 360, PC, PDA, phone, etc.)"
Sony is only taking baby steps with this concept, and only using Sony Ericson phones (so far) as a moderate extension of Playstation HOME, not PSN itself. It's smarter to only promise what you know you can achieve.
