"Is the home game console market in trouble? Some analysts certainly think so. Despite reports of record-breaking sales for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, some industry doomsayers are forecasting the end of the home console as we know it, citing increased competition from mobile games, a resurgent PC space, and spiraling costs in AAA-game development. So will the PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U be the last "generation" of consoles? Or will dedicated game machines continue to have a place in our living rooms for many more years to come? Check out what some of our editors think about this vexing issue."
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.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
This question get's asked pretty much every generation, and somehow we have been lucky to see the next, but I think in all occasions it always boils down to how well the consoles themselves perform and what's the popular media is at the time.
As far as our Internet infrastructure goes, that has played a bigger role on new consoles being released, because the waters are being tested in the process to see if the cloud is a viable option to a standard console as we know them. Once Internet coverage evolves past slow speeds with at least 18 to 20 mb being standard, then I think consoles as we know them will phase out.
At this point, still way too early to tell IMO, it's all speculation at this point. If we are judging by how things are going today....no...there will be another gen IMO.
No Click bait .. No.
(Those are the same Reasons you list, every time someone throws one of these stupid articles out there)
-not on the heels of biggest Launches, in history-
Why do people keep on approving these horse crap articles? With the success of last generation, and this new generation off to an blistering start, why do we need to see another one of these damn articles? Its the same crap with no evidence to back it up, just like politicians trying to say video games are murder simulators but yet are completely ok with people drinking and carrying guns.
