They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Others say it's a desperate attempt at attention from people out of ideas who have been soundly whipped by the new bully in the schoolyard. That bully is Apple, and with the resounding panning of the new advertising campaign from Microsoft, Bill Gates is poised to flatter the pants off Steve Jobs.
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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
A whiny guy dressed like the original PC actor complaining about the "I'm a Mac" ads?
This is a joke, right? MS didn't trade Jerry Seinfeld for THIS idea, did they?
That's gotta be a joke.
...So shouldn't it be on BAD Joystick?
LOL
I'm definitely not one to defend Microsoft cause I think they have a lot of problems to fix when it comes to their OS, but I do find it ironic that a company who only exists today because Microsoft bailed them out years ago when their stock wasn't crap is taking shots at Microsoft. Sure, MS flopped with Vista and most of their other OS, but the only reason Apple is even in business is because Bill didn't want Apple to flop years back because Microsoft actually NEEDS Apple to stay in business because if they go down then MS gets hit with Anti trust suits because they'd be a monopoly.
I just always thought that was funny. MS should bring that up in their ads. Maybe Steve would stfu if they did that.
If they pull it off, it'll be great.
Of course, I'd like to see a REALLY good ad agency work for them...like what they did with the new Gears of War 2 trailer they released yesterday...

Those Mac ads are getting pretty annoying now. They make me dislike Mac even more.
