I (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) have tried, seen and read about many different kinds of game controllers since the early 90s. Even so, I haven´t seen a controller quite like TreeTech´s wireless Po!nt Game Controller. It looks really cool for sure, but is it any good?
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Liking very much the idea of modular aspect and inter-changeable face plates ( think this could be the best way/option for future application with the Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft control pads - the XBox One Elite is already doing this in a way ), but do worry TreeTech's control pads isn't durable enough.
There are a breed of gamers who are serious controller twisters. I would highly advise they steer very clear of this particular controller.
Last generation I was a controller slammer, but I have since graduated to couch slapping. So a controller like this may work for me, but I'm quite fond of my DS4s. :D
Ehrm...Is it just me or does the Po!nt controllers look like two hockey pucks that have been attached to each other? xD
My main point of concern with this controller is how comfortable it is in your hands, cause that ball shape looks rather uncomfortable and possibly slippery. IMHO, you just can't beat the double grip design.
It looks like a big ridiculous bow tie
