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."
Some are saying Starfield wont make it this year but we shall see.
Fable... hopefully we get more info but I dont want them to rush for the sake of releasing it sooner than its ready.
Sega... not likely but they will probably get another studio or two.
The updates part is an easy obvious. We all know they have big plans for Halo and Forza so I don't know why that is even a "prediction" when it is a "certainty".
Xcloud has been pretty good. I've used it on my consoles as well as my phone and PC. I like that it is included with my sub for GPU. I wish Sony would do the same with PSNow and PS+ in one.
Those feel like somewhat safe bets, safer than the ones in the accompanying PS article.
Starfield - Definitely.
Ton of updates for existing games - Very likely
Fable - I expect we'll see a considerable info dump + gameplay this year, but I still expect the release to be later than 2023
Major acquisition - Very likely given the track record
No console Xbox - This one I'd be less certain on, if they mean an actual 'Xbox streaming device'. If they just mean apps on TV's, then sure.
I see more tv app streaming. Sega….. could be and it would bring along their very large library. I’m hoping for some unannounced game coming out of left field.
Probably not much to expect from Xbox in 2022. I think 2023 is where they get some good surprises. The best thing for Xbox all of 2022 is going to be all the day 1 games on game pass.
