Microsoft is prepping to change the software landscape with Windows 10, and one of the main focal points of the upcoming operating system is that Microsoft has plans to focus on gaming this time around and the Xbox is going to play a part in it all.
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."
This would be suicide for the Xbox brand. Is there something I am not understanding here?
I think streaming from one device to the other could work out. I'm sure it would be locked to Windows 10, but that would help Windows 10 sales.
As far as playing Xbox One games on PC without an Xbox One, that doesn't make any fiscal sense.
NO. But you will see a lot more PC games on Xbox. and cross play on games with windows with xbox.Mark my words.
Good idea, I would be playing more on PC instead.. oh wait?!
There's no telling what would happen to the Xbox brand if the games were playable on PC.
You can't really say it would take a huge hit if they did this. So many people defend their choice by saying, "Ease of access" which I understand.
There's also the convenience of being able to have a console in your room when you can't have a computer (typically only goes for kids) It also applies to people who don't want to spend their time part hunting or paying for a great computer.
There are so many reasons why a console is an easier system to go with for certain people.
