So there you have it another E3 put under the microscope for your personal scrutiny. Looks like Sony have just came out on top again this year, congratulations to them.
Remember, some of these points may be debatable and I may have missed or overlooked something. Please let me know in the comments section if you feel I have misjudged something as I'm very open to the idea that I'm wrong, as you should be in science. Thanks for reading.
[TL;DR]
MS = 40
Sony = 48
Ninty = 44
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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.
The numbers say it's pretty close. Clearly no one ran away with it if you were just watching and not scoring.
Edit: Redacted - noticed that was for AAA titles only.
I don't know if you can really subtract 2 from Microsoft for Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
They are working on the game directly after all, which makes it essentially no different than the developers coming on.
How could they not bring them on?
Usher was only worth "one" negative point?
If you look at this, it seems pretty clear that Sony and Nintendo are letting the products speak for themselves, and MS needs paid endorsements. I suppose that's a cultural divide though.
