The year's top-selling games and consoles at retail ranked by unit sales
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 then, this ought to be interesting.
Top 20 software Wii - 7 games (5 exclusives)
Xbox 360 - 6 games (2 exclusives)
PS3 4 games (1 exclusive)
Whatever happened to that fable that PS3 exclusives sell less because they are spread out? This chart shows xbox 360 software 8 million units ahead of PS3 software for 2011 and over 90 million ahead overall (maths never lies, ever!! Not even if there's a fire!)
In a year that PS3 had more games available, X360 sold more games in total.
Overall attach rates are as follows:
Xbox 360 - 9,34 games per console
PS3 - 8,36 games per console
In lamen's terms, the average Xbox 360 owner buys more games than the average PS3 owner.
Lastly, in the Top 100 for 2011 there are 9 Xbox 360 exclusives and 8 PS3 exclusives.
Well then, how about that? I thought more exclusives meant more exclusives sold? Clearly not huh?
its getting hot in here boy... Im seeing no cheques from any of these corps so all i ask for is more games to choose from....Play nice fellas;)
Keep in mind that VgChartz tracks sold-to-consumer. PS3 is the true winner of 2011.
@FinancialGamer
the 360 software numbers for the year are a few million ahead of the PS3 because every 360 with Kinect was bundled with Kinect Advenetures.
8,080,625 Kinect Adventures sold(bundled). So lets subtract that from the 2011 total and find out the real number!
155,606,506 - 8,080,625 = 147,525,881.
So a statistical tie with the PS3 software sales for the year.
So I think its safe to say ps3 has outsold 360 again and the lead is about 3 million. But lets also keep in mind that Sony's fiscal year isn't out yet.
Gosh, just play games and stop arguing.
