Unlike other blogs, we're not in the habit of creating another new post for every single bit of news. For starters, we can't be arsed, but we reckon it's easier for our readers to keep all related news together. So, for the day ahead, we'll be updating this single post will all the news from the conferences and any gossip we can wrangle out of half-drunk PR types.
Latest updates will be at the top. We do plan to run a liveblog of the Sony Conference, but we'll see how that goes. In the meantime, check out our earlier prediction post, and settle back for a day of fun and games. Important events that we'll be covering are the EA Conference at 8AM GMT, the Konami one at 9AM GMT, Ubisoft's at 10AM, Activision's at 1PM and Sony's at 4PM, but we'll see how it goes. We'll try to avoid the usual 'liveblog-crap' that is mostly fluff, and just cut to the news.
Note that this is all via our 'b-team' over in Germany, readers, so don't expect the usual wit and bleeding-edge reporting you'd normally get from us - *insert wink* - but as ever, your comments throughout the day are welcome.
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 hope we get lots of news on liitlebigplanet like, when is the release date? is there a beta coming ? and are there any preorder goodies coming to europe ? i suppose i'll have to wait until 4pm for the sony conference to find out
"keeping an Eye out for something new from SCEE during the Conference"
New PS Eye Game?
Yeh i'm also looking forward to sony press conference i need a good lauph
Hahahaha Sony's conference is going to be as bad as Nintendo's was at E3? LBP will be announced multi plat or a delay, Resistance 2 won't look as good as Gears 2, and Heavy Rain will look like a PS2 game! Hahaha 'year of the PS3' yeah right, more like 'year to get rid of your PS3.' Hahahahahahahaha all your big exclusives will flop! Haha.
please let this not be some kind of response to nintendogs... no one needs that
