With last week’s news that Nintendo was purportedly planning on releasing a SNES Mini later this year, and given how fantastic the NES Mini was received by fans, we got to thinking: should Sony jump on the bandwagon and release a PS1 Mini?
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

Nope, but a full BC PS3 mini would be cool, or at the very least a PS2 BC mini.
The problem is that Sony is defined as much by strong first party exclusives as strong third party exclusives, particularly back in the PS1 era. With how IP has changed hands over the years and original rights holding, it would be a monumental chore to reach the agreements necessary to provide permanent copies of many games even in a digital capacity. This is part of the reason I don't believe an SNES mini is a good idea either. Many of the games people would want to see will never make it into the collection because those that have maintained IP rights prefer high profit means of cashing in on nostalgia, done on their own time to maximize profit margins.
Hell yeah!!
Hell yes!! And have the capability to run roms at 60fps
I would go for it.
