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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
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."
On another note. The pandora is a better gaming system (though only a handheld). http://www.openpandora.org
Spec seems awesome for it's price. erm.. Why not just buy this cheap setup, stick windoze on it and run normal games? Spec is good enough for that after all.
Good luck to the linux community but until they can manage to actually make money from selling games, it's a dead {crispy} duck. Still, the linux community is finally starting to wake up and this might be the way to give the one-finger-salute to the corporates line Nindendo, Microshite and Phony.
but still if this was out at the same price range as the other next gen consoles it would leave em in the dust providing they can get the games...
Something like this would shake up the industry.. we would bring back the days of the dreamcast.
Developers could develop and sell their games via their own websites.
gamestop would be finished
Its like to throw a naked person into the atlantic.
No chance to survive!
what is this supposed to compete with? That graphics card is really really really slow. The processor is OK, but kinda dated, and not even a gaming processor. It'd be a good system for 2d gaming with minor 3d graphics.
