When Nintendo finally revealed the Switch as a hybrid console and handheld, there was a fairly positive reaction from fans. Being able to take console games on the go is something people really haven’t been able to do without carrying a laptop everywhere, but Nintendo is set on making it even more convenient for their players. That did bring up some questions though, like what will happen to the 3DS? If the Switch is around there seems to be no need for the smaller handheld, so of course the natural assumption is that it will be getting the boot. Nintendo, however, is likely going to keep the 3DS around for a good while, perhaps longer than most might have previously thought.
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

Haven't we already had numerous articles already saying that 3DS won't die anytime soon
