I’m going to start this article by first saying that this is all purely speculation. Everything I come up with could be completely wrong, or completely right. Either way, we won’t know as much until Project Scorpio is on store shelves, and in the living rooms of people around the world. With that being said it is always fun to toy around with what could happen, and try to see a little glimpse in to the future.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Right now the Xbox brand is like a aircraft on auto pilot with no one in the cockpit! They have no true control outside of where the navigation system leads them, and at this point flying on fumes with nowhere and no one to land them.
I see the Xbox experts have it all covered. All they need to do is make more exclusives and they with beat Sony. Scorpio is a waste of time and Phil needs to be axed so Xbox can become more like PS.
I think I have seen these solutions before. In fact, every time Scorpio is mentioned or Phil make a tweet, it is the people playing the same tune.
As long as there have been Xbox, I have owned one. I am very happy with Phil and I am excited to see where he take us from here. I don't want an Xbox like a PS, I like Xbox being Xbox and PS being PS. You just keep what you have and let us keep what we have. I will all work itself out. M$ is in a little bit of a stale mate at the moment, but every console manufacturer has these moments where they need to gather themselves and get their groove back. They need to grab lots of attention to keep the growth going. Hopefully they are able to do that at E3. But that is the business side. As an Xbox gamer: My console has worked flawlessly and my games play very well on it; I look forward to see what Scorpio does to improve on those good experiences.
