The clock struck 4 AM, the lights began to flicker, and so did my eyelids. Staying up late is nothing new, any European MMA fan will know the process well. But I wasn’t up to watch Josh Barnett sink in a choke hold, there wasn’t any prize fighting. This time it was all about Nintendo.
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

some of those trailers they showed were quite cringy
That poor Splatoon Squid Research guy.. good ol' nintendo indeed.
I wanted so badly for this reveal for the switch to be great but we all knew (expected) it to be a lackluster yawn fest and we were right... How many other negative assumptions about the switch are we right about?
Too late. Already wrote this thing off when they showed their hilariously pathetic trailers a few months back. Who watched that garbage and thought, "Ya! That looks like something with a promising future!"
