Nintendo has had one of the most impressive comebacks in recent years thanks to its new Switch console.
If Nintendo can keep the hits coming, it may eclipse the stratospheric highs it reached following the release of the Wii back in 2006. But that will require a steady stream of high-profile games, proof that its mobile strategy is working and ensuring that it can pull in the kinds of big-name, volume-selling titles that power the modern games industry.
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

It has been such a turnaround, one for the books, but that proves the old adage of "never count out Nintendo" for a new generation's, no doubt, go-to example.
Truthfully, there's nothing here I can say that no one hasn't already said, so all I can do is wait till E3 to see their horizon. If Nintendo continues to up their game for their second year with great releases, both from them and third-party, and hopefully sneak in some surprises, then they should be fine.
As for another "golden age" of Nintendo, that would be great, both for the community and the competition, so the sooner that happens the better. But golden age or not, I just want healthy competition from all the Big 3, so I would settle for a feistier Nintendo which seems to be the message I'm getting now.
Thankfully we have Playstation to maintain this gaming industry healthy with real new games, not just simple new games, but with actually stunning looking awesome NEW games!. ;)
It's neither incredible or a comeback, it's same old Nintendo with a different gimmick. Same redundant games, I don't care how high they score it's still mario and zelda over and over.
I mean that's not even adding the fact they haven't remastered plenty of replayable titles. There remaster library will be godly, even obscure ones like Mario strikers, Mario baseball, etc... so many past titles that deserve a second look for new gamers. In the end you could push a system to the max but without titles it's not even a system, quality over quantity has been the motto for ninty
