'At least in the old days when an error hit my offline PC, I could call on a MS-Dos-fluent sibling. This afternoon, with PlayStation, I'm completely at the mercy of Sony's (doubtlessly talented) tech team.
This sort of entanglement isn't why I relinquished my custom to console gaming in the first place. I signed up for ease of use, for simplicity - and for an online connection that never caused pandemonium.'
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."
The 'clock error' was intended. By that gimmick, SONY can now force older PS3s to be replaced by the new slims..in other words, MORE sales in hardware dept. or to increase PS3 numbers being sold by storm.
HINT: SONY believes GOW3 is a system seller, so SONY will take advantage of it..AT ALL COST. Please DON'T call it a cheat ;)
Be happy, cheers to SONY! ;)
;) QUICK FIX: PLEASE BUY PS3 SLIMS TO SAVE THE WORLD..SUPPORT SONY BY CLICKING ON AGREE BUTTON
;)
ps. all those PS3s at scientific labs, nuclear sites, etc. are not affected, it only does everything!
pss. i need Ken Kutaragi to help me sucking my dong ;) ;) ;)
Good read

Isnt that what all of you PS3 fanboyz were saying when MS tried to stop chipped consoles.
I was offline already playing Heavy Rain.
It's funny how the North American media is all over this, but when xbox live went down for a week during christmas of all days for it to happen, there was barely any word.
Relax people, it's been a day... stop blowing things out of proportion.
This isn't like when the 360 breaks, in which case the majority of shipped consoles are breaking (54.2% and rising). It is also permanent. Yeah, they'll fix this specific issue (unfortunately there are numerous huge issues with the 360) but you will have to wait a few days to get your console back and you need to be within their warranty range. You would have to wait much longer than just a day to get it back... yet no huge complaints.
American's are incredibly biased.
