HPP: For better or worse, Nintendo is out to switch things up. Here are five things we love (and hate) about Nintendo's upcoming console/handheld hybrid.
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
TG writes: If you’ve ever wanted that chaotic, large-scale modern warfare feeling from Battlefield but in full VR immersion, Forefront delivers it better than anything else currently available on Quest.
Still don't know why it's launching with 32GB of storage.
They say they are trying to get away from the wii brand yet the joy con demonstration is literally just revamped wii remotes/motion gaming...
Launch line-up is weak, Zelda is the only one I'm interested in, and I'll just pick it up for WiiU. Switch is gonna flop.
Can't forget their new online "service," the smartphone voice chat thing is ridiculous. Just give us in game chat and parties and stuff.
I swear you could just copy/paste the comments from WiiU announcement then put them here and nobody would ever be able to tell which console it was aimed at. Its all just Zelda this and Mario that with these Nintendo fanboys lol.
i'lll add to the drawbacks:
No real d-pad, on a nintendo console thats crazy, have to pay 70$ more to get a d-pad via the pro controller.
3rd party support appears to be mostly old games
Questionable voice chat and multiplayer support via the console for anyone that doesn't have an android or iOS phone since it might be via an app.
No real BC support like the wiiu had.
