Given the general anti-Vista sentiment appears to be rising, Todd Ogasawara (the writer of this article) wonders if Windows Vista may be Microsoft's PlayStation 3. Sony's PS2 was the dominant game console for many years. Even the Xbox really didn't do much more than dent its dominance. But, the PS3 doesn't seem very popular except with hard core gamers. The Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 seems to have over-taken the PS3.

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.

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 dont think its true. Vista's problem is not its price or the competition, its the lack of essential features. PS3's biggest problems are its price and Wii/360. It has enough tech and features.
Even in the games front, PS3 is getting all the big games it needs, from Uncharted to Heavenly Sword to MGS4 along with many more multi-platform titles but Vista so far has only Shadowrun and Halo 2 Vista as exclusive and neither of them justify the DX10 and Vista requirement and aside from Crysis, no upcoming game is really usefull for Vista (A classic like Bioshock runs on XP as well as StarCraft 2 & Fallout 3 as their devs stated) and even Crysis needs a uber PC to really shine.
ps3 rules
xp rules
vista is so so
And it is getting them. Vista will eventually become the standard...it will just take more time...just like the PS3 will eventually dominate like the PS2. The Wii is not the DS...and it will not dominate this generation because people will realize that they need graphics...HD graphics and online playability...which you do not get with the Wii.
I have vista on my laptop, and even though i dont use it to play games, i think its fine.
"the Xbox 360 seems to have over-taken the PS3."
Yep, that is why the PS3 is outselling the 360 by 2 to 1 worldwide even with a much higher price right now.
The 360 is dead in both Europe and Japan and selling to the exact same group of US gamers who bought the first Xbox.
Microsoft will be lucky to even reach Xbox worldwide numbers by the time they pull the plug on the 360 fiasco.
