Destructoid - In this latest edition of Office Chat, Dale North, Jordan Devore, and I discuss a waning interest in console gaming, but still want Nintendo to try. Plus, brief thoughts on newly announced Batman titles and Electronic Arts is the worst company in America, but only if the most important thing to you is how convenient and easy it is to play 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."
I disagree as a PC only guy. I hate console because of the controller only. Saying that I understand why people like consoles, they are easy to maintain. PCs are very easy, but in my opinion since I have been using them since the early 80s. I love building that new computer, but hate and really hate spending my time fixing BS because someone else was careless (adware,hackware,etc). I really hate reinstalling everything after a CF (that’s a Cluster FU&^).
I think PCs have their area and would be gone if the console makers that be, would just add several KEY components (mouse and keyboard). However I have stated many times in the past that tablets will take over in the future, I don’t like it, but it is the truth.
Consoles and PCs will be gone when the processing power and graphics power of the tablet increases. Hooking up the tablet to a TV or adding extra control options are very easy!
What!? I love PC's and Handhelds but no. I love gaming in general.
I'm good, thanks.
Completely disagree. Maybe that's all YOU need, but I don't see how less variety in gaming options could be a good thing for the industry.
I have recently only really played on PC and Vita but I'm pretty sure that'll change when I get my grubby mitts on a PS4 controller!
