The definition of Genesis tells us that it’s the origin of something. If you went by this letter of the law, you’d think the Sega Genesis was the company’s first console. In actuality, there were two different consoles that the company put out. The first was the SG-1000, which was native to Japan. The second was the Master System.
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."
The commercial ad campaign for SG-1000 gave us the debut of the now famous "SE-GA!" jingle
My first console. Power Strike, Wonderboy, Alex Kidd, R-Type, The Ninja, fun times.
beyond under rated console! Could not stop the juggernaut of Nintendo but still had the best arcade conversions of games that came out on both systems! Shinobi and R-Type were freaking master pieces! Phantasy Star blew me away as well! The hardware was significantly more powerful than the NES too. I still preferred the NES overall, only because it had more "great" games, but it doesn't mean it wasn't close! Some fantastic games on Sega's 8 bit!
The damn ad in the 80's showing Shinobi made me get it over the NES. It looked better than NES graphics. I kind of regretted it but I did like my SMS. Wonder Boy in Monsterland is my favorite game on the SMS. Followed closely by Phantasy Star. Eventually I got an NES because I was missing out.
