The classic 80's home computer, The Commodore 64, is making a comeback in the form of the C64 Mini; updated for modern TV's and coming early 2018.
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

Oh wow memories I still have my original with some floppy discs and its still runs.
Can not wait for this! Even though the graphics are nothing pretty many of these games are still pretty good to great! Total blast from the past!
Which games?
I remember playing Commando and some Bruce Lee game on my buddy's 64. Also some shooter. Uridium? Wow, my brain just pulled that out after 2.5 litres of beer. I've still got it.
My oldest sister had a C64 and it was my first ever gaming experience.
Avenger, Radar Rat Race, Seawolf, Cauldron, Commando, Summer Games, Winter Games, World Games, California Games, International Karate +, Rampage, etc. Good times!
God I loved my C64 as a kid. Raid over Moscow, Beachead, Blue Max, Airborne Ranger and Knights of the Sky (and anything else from Microprose for that matter) were just so fantastic. The only system I have fonder memories of is the Commodore Amiga....the greatest games machine ever made in my opinion.
