Two Sides to Every Story It’s always the case that there are two sides to any story. Many believe that it is way too early to make any predictions on whether or not Google’s Stadia will succeed because there are just too many unanswered questions at this point.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Success may be coming, but the same can't be said for this article's title...
Lots of hoping in these type of articles. I guess that's good, but don't let it turn into hype.
I don't see many hopping on a unstable service. People will try it but I dont see it as something successful. Gamers like stability and if Google cant get hangouts right lord knows what type of problems this has in store.
Streaming games is much more difficult than streaming a phone call or a video
People are giving them accolades and calling them a success (not succes like this article managed to misspell) before they even give you a basic detail on: pricing, overall games available at launch, how long games will stay on the service, if you can download saves to back them up, how long your games and saves last in-between renewing your subscription, if there's a game limit each month, if any systems or devices are restricted from using this service, what companies are partnered with the service, yada yada yada.
Point is, for the love of Master Chief, wait. Just because you "write" an article doesn't change reality.
I predict that it doesn't matter if we want it or not, we will have to use it in one way or another, and then they will claim success. It's cost effective and they will not stop until it happens. We will get an inferior product while they make superior profits. This will render most games as digital casinos filled with adds. I suppose full circle as that's the way arcade games used to be.
