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

$299? Great price. Can't deny it. Standalone, no console or PC? That's great. VR is definitely moving faster in tech.
Internet access required to activate and possibly use? Real Login name required? No and No.
That means always connected and data mining the user. With potential of your system being bricked by them and account taken if you get out of line. Also, I still laugh at the early games being "tech demos." These same people probably thought Atari games were tech demos. "Where's the open world games?" "Adventure feels like a tech demo." Short games don't mean tech demos.
Qualicum? What's a Qualicum? Not once. But twice. Spell check much?
**the 2-3 hour battery life prevents you from feeling ill while still getting a worthwhile experience**
Wha?...What? Then dogs it with the nausea comment as if that's something everyone who plays VR gets.
A deeply layered PUFF PIECE as the writer for the article got the
Quest 2 for free. Did you get to keep it? With his only negative being a head strap. You shouldn't have to buy another product to make it comfortable. And said Quest 2 is his best experience in VR ever. Umm.. Index?...Rift S?...Umm PC games with deeper experiences? You know, where games don't feel like mobile game "tech demos." Lol.
