Hardcore Gamer: It’s not hard to find a portable device to play games on these days. Many people have no trouble using their smartphones for exactly that. Others prefer dedicated devices to achieve potentially better results. Enter the Lyra from Creoqode.
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

It's a cool device. And being based on a Raspberry Pi 3 will allow it to have multiple functions. However as a gaming machine I believe that the lack of a analog stick will really limite it's potential. It also a very expensive device, going for £149-179 on Kickstarter and even more after. And for a little more one can get a GPD XD+ that will be a far better option for gaming.
That said. I'm happy that we are seeing so many new handhelds being made this days.
Not going to buy any handhelds without full controller buttons and analogs. We moved past the not enough controls era for handhelds with the Switch.
