BY JOHN SANTINA: Many console gamers cite the cost of building a gaming PC as a prime reason for sticking with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo’s hardware. Yes, building a PC, or buying one pre-built, is an expensive initial outlay, but the cost of games is factored into the mix, grey starts to emerge from the clear-cut black and white argument.
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.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
I have never bought a PC game at the full price of $60 at launch. Very few console gamers can say the same.
Oh yeah it's expensive, one needs to have around 3x - 4x the money to play games that work better than on a console. It is probably worth it, because you can do other stuff with PCs as well (although everybody already has a PC or laptop with which they can do that other stuff.) Probably costs more in electricity as well. Even still, I'm thinking of buying an elite gaming rig, because I want the best of the best.
Especially if you're willing to cut corners. Get yourself an old Dell office PC for $200 off of ebay, pop in a video card, upgrade ram and/or psu if necessary, and you're playing the latest games on the cheap.
Idk, to build the desktop I wanted its roughly $3500-4k and that's not including peripherals. I rarely buy games at full price so I don't see how I would be saving.
