Fans need not worry: the next-generation Xbox console will support backward compatibility at a hardware level.
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."
I´m not worried at all!!!
Just bring it!!!!
Its gonna have to offer a lot more than backwards compatibility or else it'll just be a repeat of the last 2 generations.
I’m just not that excited for “next gen” consoles. Gaming has officially hit the phone model market. Base release, pro release, sequel. And you can even argue that the sequel for some is just a pro release.
Switch 2 is a switch pro. Xbox next will be the Xbox pro(if you don’t already consider the X as the pro since the s is the dominate on their market share).
I am pretty sure I can wait until ps6 pro at this point because my ps5 pro and base will play everything they will get with the exception of 1 or 2 games in the first year.
Day 1 for me, 22 years with xbox and besides the 360 debacle, never let me down, also saved tons of money.
Every time one of these “well, obviously” statements pops up like in article form, I wonder who it’s even for. Then I check the comments and remember, console players, proudly lost in the settings menu, still trying to figure out what HDR is.
And suddenly, those "articles" make perfect sense
