After Microsoft dropped the bombshell that Project Scorpio is a reality, Steve talks about the specifications and what impact it may have.
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

I am so pumped for the Scorpio, VR, and 4K gaming. I'm glad Microsoft is raising the bar again.
Im very glad to see what they have done. Hopefully NEO for Sony learns from this and responds accordingly. Very pleased with Microsoft overall. I love competition. Sony forced this kind of move. Now hopefully Sony responds.
I wouldn't say a new gaming generation beggings. Article was great and it made sense.
I think people though need to see the future as gaming as choice rather than 5 to 6 years a new console with new games and control which means previous controllers won't work etc.
It's going to be simpler than that , and makes sense. 3 Xboxs all aimed at Diffrent users, each running off the one system Xbox live and all connecting to other Windows devices ... Meaning pc owners can play the way they want and still get console games , and Xbox one users won't miss a thing.
It's the same thing you see at Apple , Diffrent Laptops and desktops , all running under the same system and aimed at Diffrent users ... You dog buy a €1000 console just to surf the web , you buy the cheapest model to suit your needs.
That's the future of gaming , choice for the player , the article makes it clear , he wants 4K but not concerned about VR so a console should give him that choice.
Ms have a platform to do this and it's opened up a lot more gates for developers and players across a wider scale ... I would say this generation is evolving into a new type of gaming world rather than a new gaming platform.
I feel like this is 9th gen. ReviewTechUSA made a good point. MS and Sony may be pushing the nobody will be left behind slogan, but for how long? NX Scorpio and Neo are 9th gen consoles in my eyes.
