Hey guys and gals, tomorrow is that big gaming thing we talk about all year round and it’s here! Tomorrow Sony, Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft will reveal their new games and show us why we should be excited for the fall. Nintendo will follow suit on Tuesday with their Nintendo Direct.
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.
I am expecting MS to announce several games. Good games. They will announce a 3rd Party exclusive that everyone will want. They will announce Halo 5...which wont ship until next year. They will announce the Halo remaster title, which will ship this year, but is less exciting. They will announce several other EXCITING titles. Then they will pat themselves on the back, tell themselves "Good job!" and walk off the stage.
Then Nintendo will show their stuff. The stuff no one but Nintendo has. The stuff Nintendo does best. I am expecting a surprise from them this year...not sure what, but I don't see the WiiU going down without a fight!
Finally, this evening, Sony will take the stage. Sony has a TON of game announcements for us. I am expecting SIGNIFICANTLY more exclusive announcements than MS. Then they will show Vita games...which MS doesn't compete with. Expect to see an announcement of the PS4/Vita bundle. Then they will launch Playstation Now...giving people with tablets, smartphones, Sony TVs and others the ability to play Playstation games (and purchase them through PSN), without actually owning a Sony console! Finally, they will show "Morpheus", their VR solution. I don't expect to hear anything about pricing or availability, but I do expect them to tout the developers involved and SOME of the initial games and projects they are working with!
Yes, gamers want the games...but if that is ALL Microsoft has to talk about, they may as well pack it in and go home. I am predicting a HUGE win for Sony this show...and an embarrassing showing from MS.
