Seif from Gameondaily goes hands-on with the Nintendo Switch and shares his impressions regarding the console and some of the games he go to play
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

A console that looks like its only for the hardcore nintendo fans
Puh potential is easy to say. You gotta commit! Is it the best thing ever, or a crock of shit?
I'm leaning towards the latter. But I've never really been into portable gaming.
I agree it has potential, but we'll have to see what games Nintendo and 3rd party developers release for it
I'm excited to have the Switch soon. The controller(s) are expensive but most outlets I pay attention to seem to think the price is justified, while high. The HD rumble is very real and very unique to the Joy-Con. Those Joy-Cons do a lot for the variety of different ways it can be used (motion controls, half of a full controller, a sideways controller itself, the scanning technology, etc.). It's not like it's a tiny piece of plastic.
Now the pro-controller, that's absurd and I can't justify the higher price, other than, they know 'most' people want to play normal "controller in hands+console on screen" type of games and therefore they charge extra for that.
