Yesterday, a new hardware patent from Sony Interactive Entertainment for an unknown electronic device surfaced, and it appeared to be for the PlayStation 5 developer kit. At the time, it wasn't clear if it was indeed the PS5 dev kit, however, many assumed it was because it was unclear what else it could be. That said, it seems those assumptions were correct. Since the patent started to make the rounds early yesterday, a developer has chimed in claiming that is indeed the PS5 dev kit, and they know this because they have one at the office.
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

I honestly do not like the look of this, wont stop me from getting it day one but I really hope the one we buy does not look like this, I know it probably wont as it's a dev kit but still, just dont like it.
V for 5
I really wouldn't care what it looks like even if it looked like a "V." If it's powerful, as long as it WORKS, can breath and stay cool, is mostly quiet and plays games, I don't care. I'm not playing the console. I'm playing the games. I'm not looking forward to the shape. I'm looking forward to the GAMES.
As for cost, PS3 at $500-$600 was outselling Xbox 360 worldwide since launch. That's a fact. Even during the economic downturn, it was still outselling 360. Because gamers knew Sony would bring the games just like PS1 and PS2. The media attacked it backed by advertising dollars and it still sold. PS4 at $400 sold like gangbusters. Gamers knew again what they were getting and will get in games.
Some try and make it seem that a Sony system at a higher price than the traditional $299 won't sell. When in reality, it's other systems we won't mention that wouldn't be able to sell at $500 or more like a particular platform now. Which is just projecting.
As long as it works and there's no economic crisis, PlayStations will sell regardless. That's just the truth. They're the market leader and prove in games why they are in a leadership position. You can buy their systems and know you'll get your money's worth.
If anyone is worried. Dev kits almost always look different than the consumer version. They are more powerful and have more ports and other hardware features for devs only. Go look at a PS4 dev kit to get an idea at the difference.
