Despite my pro-E3 stance it would be remiss of me to not recognise that it is struggling to live up to its reputation, and the expectation from gamers around the world."
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.
Don’t really care to be honest. I know this was the last time I took off for it. There we’re a couple of other reasons like being sick but the main reason was e3. A total waste of time this year.
I'm not a Xbox fan or even claim to be but I love the competition Xbox brings which then forces Sony to try and be better. This year E3 was disappointing with the major games if Halo and Starfield being lackluster. Then to have them close it out with a cgi trailer just crazy. It's like Microsoft didn't even know Sony just released 2 AAA games with Returnal and Ratchet and showed gameplay of Horizon. I was expecting Xbox to try and match that excitement and they didn't even come close. Better luck next E3 I guess.
Times are changing. And E3 format is losing the appeal it use to have. Studios are showing stuff during all year.
