From Cinelinx:
Microsoft has had a really tough road this generation with twists and turns at every possible chance. We have watched the Xbox One evolve, but we are finally seeing Microsoft push Xbox in the way they need to.
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."
I will fully admit that I haven't been all that interested in Xbox stuff over the last several years, but their conference was easily the best of the show this year.
They are going in the right direction.
After this generation, I'll wait and see. It would be easier for me to buy into if they had some type of JRPG support. I specifically bought a 360 for lost odyssey, and blue dragon. I still never got to play last remnant but I heard bad things about, I never let reviews stop me. Now a days people complain about turn based rpg's I actually prefer them so screw reviews most of the time
Yes but not for this gen, xbox one is dead in the water
