With the next generation of game consoles only a few short months away, the new systems from Sony and Microsoft seem to hold all the attention. However, what can be said - if anything - about opting for a future on the PC instead? Gamers Association writer Ben Maguire offers his opinion.
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."
In my opinion, the difference between graphics doesn't justify the difference in price, the gap is just too big. But each to their own.
I know that people just love the PC mainly because of it's graphics and steam, but for me, I'm happy with $60 on a physical copy and I know it'll be very expensive to get a high end PC. Especially if you're looking for 4k. Anyways, the leap for the next gen is big enough and plus, the ninth gen will look even better.
You don't have to switch, you can always add.
pc only is not worth missing out on console exclusives, in my opinion. most people have a pc good enough to play games, even if they arent at high settings, so if you can afford a console theres no reason not to play on both console and pc
I prefer PC. Despite the cost it took to make mine, it honestly makes me never want to touch a console again.
