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

Heaven help them if the 48 hours pass & no fix, or can't be fixed. Why release it in the first place with this issue?
Seriously? "First off, the RX 480 does not pose a risk of damaging motherboards as previously speculated, according to AMD." Yeah because AMD is just going to admit it's cards can damage motherboards. Not to mention the didn't say it couldn't (because it can) they said they were confident that under normal uses it shouldn't... Guess what that doesn't include, Overclocking, luckily AMD is not responsible for damage to hardware if a card is overclocked. And having your PC shut down every time your gfx card is stressed isn't good for anything software or hardware. For a budget card you are limite to what budget boards you buy because the power went out of its rated bounds. This driver may fix it, but to say that it's not a big deal is letting people get way with crap.
Now we have day one patches for brand new video cards too? At some point these things need to just be released working.
