"I have been waiting for years for Nintendo to return to their former glory and honestly thought that the Switch would be the console to turn their fortunes around. Unfortunately it seems that Nintendo still have a lot to learn to compete in today’s market."
James Hobbs from Gameondaily shares his thoughts on the Nintendo Switch and why is he left disappointed
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

Well I've just preordered it. I have a Wii U so could play Zelda on it but I wanna play it mobile.
But the prices of those controllers and peripherals...what a farce!!
And that online system better be great. Luckily we get to test it out for free but if it's anything like what it is now, FORGET paying for that crap.
I'm definitely getting one but not at launch. That controller is pricey but that Zelda looks amazing. According to new info the game runs 1080p/60fps docked and 900p/60fps undocked. I need that game.
i like the look of it but gonna hang on for black friday or cyber monday
Me either
Where are the fanatics and fanboys to defend the Switch, now?
I called this after the very first reveal of this console. When I saw that it's running on a Tegra X1 SoC I was told I knew nothing about what I was talking about. The console would be more superior than an Xbone.

I said games wouldn't be simply ported to the Switch due to the architecture difference, I was told I know nothing about what I'm talking about. Well look at Skyrim not being the remastered version... It's a Switch specific version.
I said the battery power for mobility will probably be similar to the Wii U gamepad... well you're looking at 2-6 hours of battery life depending on the game. What they really mean is indie or VC games will run about 6 hours while AAA titles will probably go 2 - 3 hours. Hope it's a short flight.
I said Nintendo needs multiplatform games to compete with the libraries of its competitors as well as its exclusives. It's using the same third party support we've seen on the Wii U at launch. It's always strong at first but once sales don't bring a return on investment from these devs guess what, Wii U all over again.
So where are these mentally challenged fanboys now? Defend this console with your bull sh*t like usual. Be Nintendo enablers instead of trying to make them change their business structure that hasn't been working for them except for the lightning in a bottle Wii.
