In 2007, the race to sell boxes will begin to sort itself out, but the real story should be software. Games must return to the foreground.
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."
I'm looking forward to Halo 3 myself.
We need original games. This is why it's a great time to own a 360. 2007 is stacked with original games:
Lost Planet
Crackdown
Kane and Lynch
Too Human
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Alan Wake
Bullet Witch
Blue Dragon
Battle Stations Midway
Frontline Fuels of War
Huxley
Metronome
Project Offset
Culdicept Saga
Lost Odyssey
Shadowrun
Timeshift
Halo Wars
All original 360 exclusives.
Then you have the sequals Like a little title called Halo 3, Forza 2, Fusion Frenzy 2...
There are some additional stellar milti-platform titles as well like..
MOH airborne assault
Battlefield Bad Company
Stranglehold
BIA Hells Highway
Army of 2
Burnout 5
Haze
Alone in the dark
Dark Sector
If 2007 is all about the games, then it will be all about the 360. Hands down the most original content and exclusives.
Now 360 owners will have a problem of almost too many great games to choose from!
You can build the most kick a$$ console that has ever been built, but if there are no killer games, it won't sell.
.........wait.....did someone just woke up?!!!!!!!!!!!!!............MY GOD!
it is obvious that the games are important and not really the console!
its like repeating what so many people have sad: The ps2 won the race cozz it had GAMES so many games it sold the console!
the bigger the library the better consoles will sell......even if so many games suck it will sell the console....its obvious becozz there are more games for the console!
SOme I can agree with but others of those look crap aka Halo Wars
