Many game franchises, like Mario Kart, Halo and Call of Duty to name a few, are well known for their above average multiplayer experience. These types of games generally lead to hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of gameplay over the course of each games lifetime. The appealing thing about online play is that every game is different experience...
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."
If you've got a title that's an average affair it only seems fair that it doesn't get the sales as a quality title. It's a competitive market, what the hell is to be expected?
Ask them to stop making good games then /s
We can only hope that the companies involved will find a way to fix their mistake of accidentally providing tremendous value to their customers.
they cut off xbox live for the og xbox, poor silly console players.
everyone always seems to forget about gamefly/netflix when it comes to media sales. why am I going to be pay 60 for a could be so-so game/movie when I could rent it. there are still a few franchises I will pick up day one at the store, but we have been burned way too many times to continue that cycle.
I remember buying 2-3 copies of games on the ps1/ps2 back in the day due to normal wear and tear, scratches, etc... now with the ps3 blu ray discs you have to attempt to damage the disc which reduces the number of sales due to that fact alone.
I can totally see the lack of sales due to a cult following of a game. Take ps2 Socom-2 for example. Two new games were released for that franchise and there were still more people playing the older game. That game very rarely left my ps2, with the exception of a few new must have releases.
