Shaz from Pixel Swish: "With AMD to reveal their upcoming Z2 Extreme chip at this year’s CES, it’s looking like Valve aren’t going to be one to use the powerful APU in a Steam Deck successor."
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

I don't think we'll see a new Steam Deck for at least a while longer. The Z2 line looks amazing but is also very power-hungry. Valve is likely aiming for a more balanced approach—something that strikes a better balance between power consumption, performance, and, especially, price.
So, my best guess is that we'll see something closer to Q3/Q4 2026. And it will be a custom solution.
We'll see a new Headset before a new Deck.
Valve said they're going to treat the Steam Deck like a console rather than a phone. We likely won't get a next gen Steam Deck until Holiday 2026-2027.
time to buy another handheld then
AMD UDNA will be, then.
