Recently the world of PC gaming has made great strides in many areas. New generations of processors are coming out, more games are being made specifically for the PC and ported to consoles, and it seems more and more people are migrating to the PC realm. Now that isn’t to say consoles are going to fall by the way side, soon enough we will be seeing the WiiU and Sony’s and Microsoft’s new consoles. However, at this very moment, computers are overtaking consoles, particularly when it comes to graphics.
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."
I think both PC and Console gaming are doing very well. Sure we are in a recession hence things arent as good as they could have been, however we are still doing quite solid.
I personally only own a PC, thanks to Steam discounts games have been so cheap i have a huge backlog, there are more games out this year then i can play.
I think the article from yesterday made alot of sense about having a combo personally having a PC and PS3 is the ultimate combo, that way the only real games you are missing out are the few Xbox exclusives like Forza, Halo as PC already does most of the XBox exclusives, PC also covers PC exclusives, multiplats and Wii via emulation and obviously the PS3 comes in handy with the Sony exclusives.
Overall i think the systems with the most exclusives(not that it matters majority of games are multiplats) are the PC and the PS3.
Console all the way.
My PC plays all games in native 1080p. 99% of my games play at 60 frames.
The draw distances, character models, textures, shadows, number of players, particle effects and lighting...everything is better on PC. Even on 'ports' there differences are night and day.
Even Bioshock had DX10 shading and soft particles and perfect gamepad support and up to 9.1 sound...and it came out in 2007.
My PC is hooked up to my 55" TV and I have 7.2 surround. I can't even imagine desecrating my TV with console games.

I'll just leave this Mirrors Edge screenshot here for people to ponder over:

For comparison here is a UC3 screenshot ( lol ) I can't even imagine how bad it must look when stretched to a 1080p screen.

I could've bought 4 360s and 4 ps3s for what I've spent on my gaming PC this year and that's before I add the sim racing hardware but for me it's worth it, triple screen racing in iracing, dirt3 and f1 2011 with a dash of skyrim is gaming heaven for me.
Is that why psn is free?
