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."
Ssee the main problem with cpus is we are still help back by core speeds. There is not enough support for multicores as nobody wants to freeze out the single core market. This is potentially where the next generation of consoles could leap over PC gaming.
would nice have somthing like this but not really much use at the momment but nice to make your pc future proof if you got the money. Amd is not as good in performace but lot cheaper. It was good the way allowed all am2 mother boards to work with am3 processor with bios update with intel most of there cpu that come out and you need new motherboard.
ill pass for now until it becomes mainstream and more affordable.
A quad core i5 750 is good enough for me. Its much better than my Q6600 that I am using right now.
$999 way to expensive and actually doesn't have a pratical use as you can multitask a 4 core to death and it will barely break a sweat. As far as gaming it's all about the Gpu and soon to be Gpgpu. Cpu's will be for running spreadsheets and monitoring your firewall as the Gpu takes over the Pc.
Pc architecture as a whole needs to change so these high powered CPu's with 4 cores and virtual cores and friends and family cores could actually be used more efficiently.
The Cell and it's architecture is looking even better right now.
