Xbox has faced consistent criticism (from myself included) for its lack of exclusives compared to PlayStation, and is likely the core reason why the PS5 is reportedly outselling the Xbox Series by such a large margin. The Financial Times reports that the PS5 is currently outselling the Xbox Series X by nearly three-to-one margin.
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
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
If that's the case then then there's absolutely no reason to buy an XB console.
this is implying they have exclusives to ditch,
and also thus, implying they would do better if those exclusives, would somehow sell more elsewhere,
there not even selling on xbox, nobody wants this pos box
They haven’t released much of note in the last decade and lately they have been on a further decline in sales of consoles and quality.
The only reasons they can consider going multiplat is because because of their multiplat acquisitions. But i have little, scratch that , no faith in MS making games better that they acquired
That's pretty saying let's go third party imo.
What exclusives? You need exclusives first before you can ditch them. And no you need exclusives to entice the gamer into buying your product. No exclusives you will be which Microsoft is just dead last in sales. I myself if there are no exclusives to draw me in I go some where else and to someone else who has the exclusives to entice me into buying their product.
