The fog of Nintendo's newest console has lifted. We know it's price, we know the games slated for release, and battery life. With Nintendo's press conference, Tree House Live events are over, and we now know what this console is and isn't capable of handling. The question stands, has Nintendo won you over with, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario kart 8, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario Odyssey, or is this system a hard pass?
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

Yes, it has. I was initially against the Nintendo Switch because of its weaker than gen 8 hardware, then I rewatched Nintendo's Switch presentation and read previews. Apparently, the Switch's "HD rumble" (Haptic feedback) is the real deal, and it makes gameplay more immersive (developers can actually program real life sensations that people experience in everyday life - like climbing ladders, filling a glass of water, or dribbling and shooting a basketball). Knowing that both the Joycons and the Switch's pro controller both feature the HD rumble tech, I'm glad because now it isn't limited to a single player like how VR is.
Oh yeah. Can't wait!
Yes, and I'm not even a console gamer. But there's so much here I want to be involved in!
Yes it has won me over and I will invest in it when the Zelda themed switch is made available.
NOPE
