Asa from Gameondaily takes a look at all the heavy hitters in the new Virtual Reality game and assesses which company is doing right (and wrong) by gamers and whether Microsoft's attempts to enter the VR market are positive or otherwise.
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'm going for a Rift, but expect to get most of my software from Steam. If Valve played for a closed system I'd have no confidence in either PC option, and I'd probably get PSVR.
Microsoft don't figure into the decision at all right now, because right now is when I want VR and they have nothing... i hope their Windows VR stuff is fully inclusive of both Vive and Rift when it does arrive though.
Based on what MS did with the forced windows 10 updates, no they are not.
There will be a massive u turn by many if ms jumps in.
Laud what you have. . . Downplay what you don't have. . . . Until you have it too of course ;)
Lol. Whatever MS does people have something negative to say about.
This December though a new line of VR products are being described to those who already shut their eyes and ears with whatever they got. They have been announced on Oct 26th and no article was out on it. Oooh well its PSVR everyone is after and they need a reason to say that Microsoft has nothing for now or ever.
Really, no matter what is coming from MS there's a group which cannot even see or want to hear it. Makes me believe their heads are stuck so deep in what ever they are in.
