www.pushingplay.com writes "The Xbox360, the Playstation 3 and the Wii all have USB ports, so why can't a company like MadCatz create a controller that would work on all three? They've done it in the past, creating a Racing Wheel that would connect to a PS2, PS1, Xbox and GameCube, despite only two of them having the same controller port. When all three major consoles share a non-proprietary input, it makes no sense that MadCatz would have to release two practically identical versions of their Street Fighter IV FightStick. GameCyte interviewed Mad Catz' Alex Verrey, and he placed the blame on Microsoft."
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."
strikes again
They run a business. If consumers dont care, why shouldn't MS benefit? They want to make $ folks. I dont see a sea of complaints outside of people complaining FOR XBLA owners.
Just drop it.
reason why microsoft is gay. Every attempt at total control, even if it inconveniences the rest of the entire free world! LOL
Anyone that owns multiple consoles (especially Guitar Hero and Rock Band players), would greatly appreciate being able to use a racing wheel, arcade stick, or guitar controller with any of their consoles.
I can understand a hardware maker wanting to keep the wireless controllers to themselves, but PLEASE start allowing third-party controller makers to make universal USB controllers.
