PC Gaming Alliance president Randy Stude sees the future bright for PC's as a gaming platform and he even believes that our beloved computers could eventually become the hardware platform for console gaming in 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."
computer to become future of console platforms yea ok good luckk, there are going to be alot of piracy's downloading games and that can turn ugly for the gaming industry to loose alot of money
Xbox360 is a Supercomputer anyone who disagree's are Gay Boys. so any one who wants to Disagree.
xbox 360 isn't a supercomputer i mean think about it the 360 has maxed out for resident evil 5 while the ps3 still has more powerful to use look at god of war 3 close to beowulf graphics u think 360 has the reliability to take that no
Hahahaha, I went from PC gaming to console gaming because I cannot keep up with these outrages PC upgrades just to play the newest games.
Especially now that I'm in college, I can't upgrade my laptop.
I rarely see JRPG and other Japanese titles on PC, so another reason why I gave up PC gaming.
I still game on my PC every now and then, maybe more when SC2 is out but those days are mostly over.
I can see it happening in near future. Hardware evolves much faster these days then ~10 years ago, so consoles become obsolete (in terms of hardware power) much faster. I mean, when PS3 came out with it's RSX GPU, GeForce 8800 series already came out, and we all know how much 8800 is more powerful than any console GPU today.
On the other hand, making software (games) for consoles is easier because you can really optimize things.
We'll see. Only time will tell... ;)
