Nintendo's new game console is sold out everywhere, and early signs point to a great year for the classic gaming brand.
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

It will be as much a hit as the wiiu was. Nowhere near Ps4 numbers tho
I think it will do reasonable at first just because it's not a WiiU. Every gamer that grew up with Nintendo (I started on NES and Game & Watch) wants to see them back to former glory, so they'll be wanting to wash the WiiU taste out of their mouths.
Plus it should do well it Japan since it's a handheld and that's basically all they play now. Maybe this hybrid thing can bring a resurgence of consoles in Japan and it will lift gaming in general there
I'm optimistic. I think it will sell well.
Depends on your definition 'hit'. Looking at my library of WiiU games vs PS4 I also own, the WiiU (for me) has been far, far the bigger success this gen, certainly in terms of games owned/enjoyed.
But yes, I think Switch will shift some numbers, not Wii but not WiiU either - somewhere in between.
