Mid-generation hardware upgrades have become the talk of the town amongst games press and fans alike. The move to make current console iterations more powerful isn’t entirely new as we’ve seen the likes of Sega and Nintendo attempt this before in the form of clunky add-ons via small, swappable slots. However, the rumours surrounding PlayStation and Xbox are radical by comparison and downright unprecedented. As E3 draws nearer, more rumors and speculation on both the PlayStation 4 NEO and Xbox One Scorpio have emerged.
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
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
Im surprised there isnt a backlash. For me it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that after soending $500 at launch...less then 3 years later new consoles are coming out!!??
MS abandoning Kinect already pissed me off as it was a wasted purchase. Now with a new console coming my XB1 to me at least will feel outdated even more.
So I just went forward and did what I was planning to do prior to buying a XB1 and that was build my first gaming PC. Spent around $1400 and glad I did it.
My XBL expired and im not sure im going to renew it. I havent turned my XB1 on except to power on my TV and stereo. I may just sell it to help fund a new 144hz monitor.
Never thought this day would come that I dont want a console. Maybe its a phase.
Will it divide the market though is the question.
I think the fanboys need it more than Microsoft need it.
I think they'd just be better sticking with xbox one and carrying on with their windows 10 integration plan.
I am a Day one User on both Consoles and yes i want it...
I want a more Powerfull Console. I want to use 1080p+ on my 4K tv..
I hope for a good trade in opportunity and will upgrade.
I understand people to be mad but Technology changes and u can stuck with older Tech 1,34 tf or 1,84 TF or upgrade to 4,2 tf or more... All the Games will be accessible on both, only with different Resolutions und fps.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
