Nintendo fans are just counting the days, even if there are still weeks, to the Nintendo Switch’s launch. Critics are waiting with bated breath to see how expectations and marketing will match both reality and sales. Some people will love it, some will hate it.
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

and that s a good thing??.......is one more reason to not buy Nintendo s new gimmick......except that is an obvious mockery from Nintedno that are trying to promote Swicth as home console while covertly they want to boost their pseudo prestige mobile gaming....mobile (i dont mean portable) is the plague of normal gaming and must be fought off
I'd rather play on my smartphone than on this gimmick
"Nintendo Switch Will Give Mobile Gaming a Much Needed Boost"
And thats the problem right there.
And local social gaming.
There is one key difference though, mobile games cost £0-£5 with a few exceptions, Switch games cost £40-£60. I see no reason as to why the people playing candy crush are suddenly going to go out and buy the most expensive console that isn't even a home console on the market so that they can play £60 games on the go.
