The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S aren't even coming out until next month, but Microsoft has confirmed that it has "already started" iterating on Xbox Series hardware for the future.
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.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I would be happy with a digital edition of the Series X (i.e. the rumoured Series V from about a month ago). I want all of my consoles to be discless this time around, and I can't justify a Series S anymore after some of the more recent info.
Standard for all companies i'd say, working on improving component costs, poss slim version etc. Guaranteed sony is also working on similar, nintendo etc
This is standard practice, R&D on the next console starts when and sometimes before, the new console is released.
It might be expected but they really shouldn't be talking about it yet. Sony aren't even talking about VR yet cos they don't want it to divert attention from the ps5 launch.
You've gotta learn to walk before you can run. Just release these 2 consoles and support them with quality content. No one cares what your doing in 2, 3 or 4 yrs time, its this wayward thinking that will have you releasing 2 consoles without a 1st party game.
Take a breather and focus on making good games, that's where all your energy should be ms. The showing of your crown jewel was an absolute debacle, horrific on every level.
