Nintendo fans are hungry for a Nintendo Direct right now. You know that, we know that, and we're pretty sure Nintendo knows that, but there's still no sign of a presentation in our near future. So what's going on?
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

Yh I'm starting to have Withdrawal symptoms now. Seriously Nintendo make with the Direct!!!
Still waiting for the next Direct
If your stance haven’t changed then announce a new Direct already. Even MS has a gaming show before you this year (Inside Xbox is happening tomorrow), so what are you waiting for Nintendo?
I think what we're seeing is a company that's kind of used up their collateral over the last 2 years and right now they are a little "threadbare" with what they are ready to show us. My guess would be they were originally going to use January to show off Metroid Prime 4, but instead we got the video announcing it's delay. Just within the last 2 years we have gotten Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, Splatoon, Pokémon, Xenoblade, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, etc. Plus we just saw Animal Crossing and Luigis Mansion 3 in the last direct along with getting a new trailer for Yoshi's Crafted World. Really the only things I can think of that they could show us that we haven't seen are Bayonetta 3 and the new Pokémon game.
There is a bizarre lack of information on Fire Emblem: Three Houses, when it's (supposedly) releasing within the next 4+ months.
