Issues with the launch of Street Fighter 5 and the associated missed sales target for the title have led to wholesale changes to development at Capcom, chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto has revealed.
"It's best to spend a little more time in developing and running a high-quality title that will perform well globally," said Tsujimoto in his year-end summary.
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
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."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
ofcourse, SF 5 except the lack of content, net problems etcetc was lacking the most basic Artistic Quality..SF5 was like a badly ported SF4 to new-gen hardware , no change in art, poor visuals (for AAA title), quickly and sloppy made only to get the first hyped sales ...why Capcom destroys their precious iP is out of me, the only franchise left with still some good standards is Mon Hun ,although with its many changes , especially in art -design (monsters tend to become like glowing caricatures of the old ones) walks on a tightrope..
No Arcade mode no buy!
still looking forward to getting this in a more complete state later on.
So the poor people who are just doing their job probably get axed while the idiots firmly wedged at higher up positions in Capcom who are most likely the decision makers responsible probably get a pay rise. Just have to look at the interviews Ono did leading up to launch to see that someone higher up basically put words in his mouth to say.. things like saying Sagat feels too similar to Ryu is not something the adorable creator of SF would say.
Good news to me, that'll teach camp Com to not release anymore half ass game with no content.
