When Gamestop started it's subsequent monopoly of the retail video games market by a slew of mergers and acquisitions of other names in the retail space their objective was simple. Saturation. Now, with a Gamestop in nearly every American neighborhood, this objective is complete. But what happens when the a bigger and badder corporation wants to steal market share from you? Well the answer is nothing. You inevitably lose....
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."
This is a good thing. Because those stores like GameStop and Game Crazy are knowingly and willing ripping consumers off with trade in values. This is where they make a killing. I've watch time and time again some poor uneducated person stacking all his games and or consoles on the counter at a GameStop only to get 2 new games in return. Just a complete rip off and if that person would have only sold there stuff on Craigslist. They would have made 60% more back in return. With Walmart coming in, it will keep these rip off stores more in check to be "fair". But even still, I still wont deal with them.
Bt really folks, use Craigslist or any other free service first to buy and sell games. It's local and tax free.
what Walmart is doing with their gaming prices. Over here in Calgary, Canada, I managed to get some great games with great prices. I remember just a few weeks ago seeing GTA:IV, Dead Space and Resistance 2 all with 29.99 price tag NEW with their normal boxarts, just too good to avoid. Also saw Mirror's Edge for $18.83 brand new.
Competition is great.
I have actually never seen or been to a walmart.I think the nearest one from where I live is about 50 miles. Target and gamestop dominate the game sales. I always hear about walmart deals, but I never get to visit one
Gamestop sucks, plain and simple.
And as for Walmart, I dont know where to start. I will NEVER waste a penny on a worthless,disgraceful,inhumane ,corrupt business that I wish would die.
