Virtual reality, 4K gaming, Nintendo Switch... There are a lot of new and exciting technologies in 2017, but only one can surpass the others.
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
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."
I would imagine the switch will see the biggest growth throughout the year but I can see 4K gaming and VR growing steadily also. With PS4 pro and Later this year Scorpio, I think 4K will see bigger growth than VR. While VR is great, it's a harder sell and full gaming experiences aren't in abundance just yet. If the VR makers get the games right this year, VR will do very well.
Powerful consoles that don't rely on gimmicks (F&CK YOU NINTENDO) with good third-party support (once again, F&CK YOU NINTENDO) will win.
"but muh Mario and Zelda..." Have fun buying their next console less than 4 years into the Switch's life, Nintentards.
Go the way of Sega already, you overrated has-beens.
You're comparing enhancing features to a completely new platform altogether?
Where is Eye tracking?
Upscaling.
