Plus, passes judgement on Kinect.
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."
Well..he's right.
Wonder how long before someone jumps in a mentions how many Kinects have been sold. Kinect STILL hasn't shown it is a versitile device for gaming and its in coming line up hasn't shown or proven it either.
Awesome, someone else found more use out of the image I made for my older article :D.

In regards to brainwave control I think it maybe too far at this point. I have heard some mixed things about OCZ's device, which is called the NIA Neural Impulse Actuator:
No real surprise there.
I think at the moment the technology is promising yet definitely in its infancy, but it has an absolute crapload of potential imo.
Would be silly to just write it off, especially with the benefits it could possibly have, and not just in the gaming world.
As for his Kinect comments, I would argue that it's actually more suited to an RTS than Move would be. He's right about FPS though, i'd much rather just stick to my kb+m.
But he also completely ignores the Kinect modding scene which is getting bigger by the day (and creating gaming applications I might add).
"He explained how he was a big fan of camera control in general but only for "a fairly narrow set of experiences"."
Those are my thoughts for Kinect as well. The experiences that you can have with it are limited.
What i mean by this is with move you can play for example killzone 3 but on the 360 its impossible to play a game like Halo Reach with kinect.
