Carl Williams writes, "There is a lot of hoopla going on right now about the Nintendo Mini and the re-release of previous iterations of the Sega Genesis by AtGames. While this is interesting it is not really what people are claiming- it is not Sega and Nintendo reviving their rivalry nearly 30 years later. This is partly because it is not Sega releasing the Sega Genesis again- it is AtGames. That Genesis is also not making its debut for the first time- that hardware and software collection has been released several times before by AtGames. No, the true competitor for the Nintendo NES Mini is another, relatively unknown plug and play that is coming out about the same time. Ladies and gentlemen, the Retro-Bit Generations."
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
