ELEX studio Piranha Bytes has said that although Xbox One X’s price tag is reasonable for what it offers, a PlayStation 4 Pro price drop could be troublesome for the console.
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."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
I think I have seen this one before.
Pro price drop= Difficult time for 1x
If Sony offers price drops and bundles it certainly won't help. But the consoles problems are way deeper than that.
Outside of hardcore Xbox fans no one wants the thing to begin with. It's the most expensive console on the market, made by a company with a track record of not supporting their consoles with games. And comments by Phil (after showing the same games they have been showing since 2014) stating the reason they didn't show games at E3 was because their games are 2-3 years out certainly doesn't help.
Who would buy a $500 console when the head of the division tells them there won't be new games for 2-3 years?
It's going to be largely a niche console, and yeah, a Pro price drop certainly won't help that. I think Microsoft knows it's going to be niche, and have the correct expectations, but I'm not sure some of the Xbox uber fans do. They seem to think it's going to be some game changing console that turns the tide of the console war, and that just isn't going to happen, not even close. Too often people fall victim to the hype. Just buy what looks good to you, but keep your expectations in check, I say.
PSPRO price drop = XboneX DOA
