Why can't console gamers play the games that they paid for on newer hardware? Gamersworldbd takes a look at the backward compatiblity situation of the Xbox One, PS4 and PC and how they're getting short changed.
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."
Wow, thanks for the enlightenment./s
The only reason Xbox One just got BC is because Microsoft has been holding back. Realistically Xbox One should not only have BC for the 360, it should have it for the original Xbox. As well as the ability to play PC games. PC games should be able to go through the DX12 update process and be made into universal apps with a little work to allow them to work on Xbox One. Going forward all PC games should also be on Xbox One since it is Windows 10.
Doing this wouldn't cannibalize the PC market since they are two different markets. It would only increase Xbox One and PC game sales.
Wow because we have to belittle everything the Xbox One offers because
Windows 10 PC is the Xbox's big brother. I expect at some point X360 games will be able to be bought and played on Windows 10 PCs. I also expect Universal games that will be playable on PC and whatever is the next Xbox.
