New insight into the multi-year development process behind the PlayStation VR2 hardware.
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

will get one, after first price cut
It's a good piece of tech. Will be getting it soon. Built from the ground up in tandem with PS5 to work together seamlessly.
The interesting thing is that there are gamers that wish for it to work on PC. And it's obvious on why. Because Sony thought about how its features add to gaming. And not chase resolution. Or be so high in price that gamers can't even buy certain PC headsets.
But Sony would make no money there releasing drivers and help Valve make money but not themselves. The original PSVR was built to make a profit day one on release. Sony has never said they make a profit day one with PS VR 2. So, they must be offsetting their loss by gamers buying games on their platform. Even other games not in VR. But if gamers use it on PC instead, Sony's losses would increase. Who wants that? Not buying PS VR 2 games would just turn it into a Vita and be real niche. And Sony won't be interested in creating bigger games if that were to happen.
Keep it real. Keep it on PS5 where development can really shine. Not because gamers just want it in a sea of other headsets already on PC.
