"Ever since the emergance of the Xbox 360 in 2005 to be then concluded with the 3DS in 2011, this generation of gaming has provided some memorable experiences for the majority of gamers across the globe. Software sales have risen, we have the first trend of each respective non portable console reaching over 50 million in sales, visuals improve year on year and online interaction is now a normality rather than a rarity. With that being said, this generation has not been without its frustrations which to some gamers, have maybe left them feeling a tad sour rather than joyous fulfillment."
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 sinking of the new IP? I hardly think so. Just because there are a large number of sequels coming out in the last couple of years does not mean that there have been a lot less new IPs. There have been some very good new IPs this gen and there have been a lot more not very good IPs, the not very good or average new IPs are getting ignored because of the reliance on metacritic scores this gen.
Would love to see mirror's edge 2 as I fell in love with the original
Sports/Wrestling games sucked this gen is a letdown for me.
I actually like the fact that FFXIII-2 only has insignificant things listed as DLC. I'd rather have the full game off the bat than wait a few weeks for a new "chapter" to be released that I have to pay for in order to "really" beat the game.
what about motion controls? not all games work as they say
