Newly acquired studios working on AAA titles along with an updated Game Pass service and a new streaming platform coming soon could lead to something big for Microsoft and have them overtake Sony in the on going “console wars”. With a tease of a new console in the works could this be the year Microsoft beats Sony at E3? Sony is still up to bat next so only time will tell.
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

After a pretty limp gen of righting the wrongs day one, Xbox finally getting shit sorted.
We shall see. The Xbox fan is no stranger to promises and patience.
The rest of the year still looks completely barren for Xbox One exclusives outside of Forza
all they showed is multiplats how is this winning ? why so many articles how xbox is back microsoft saved xbox ? lol all i saw was games that i will be getting on the ps4
So showing no new IPs, relaying on Halo, Gears, Forza, buying studios that were already making Xbox games is trying to overtake Sony??? Lol you guys sure do brag on the small things MS does. Sony is not only showing new IPs but Is also doing sequels for fan favorite franchises. Add in to the fact that Sony is making sure single player games stay alive unlike MS who is pushing for MP only games. I would hate to see how gaming would be without Sony. MS has did nothing that’ll help Xbox but instead they helped developers instead.
