Hello, I was wondering if any of you guys/gals still exist. I remember the days when one and all enjoyed talking about the things we love which are video games. When people could own any console and have any opinion without getting flamed, it was glorious back then. Some people now treat "said" consoles as idols. BLASPHEMER! How dare you say that about "x" consoles/games. Which brings me to my point of this post. The blatant idiocy of the posts as a result of E3 articles are stupid. "insert game console manufacturer" copied and stole "x"! This has been going on for years, but you know what good comes from it....wait for it....INNOVATION! If game companies are continually challenged to "one up" the competitor it boasts well for us, the end consumer. Do you some of you people understand how boring it would be if we just had one option? It would suck. "No sorry we don't sell HALO or God Of War, we only have Barbie All Stars!". Sorry that might appeal to a few. All consoles offer something to the gaming community, which is excellent. We all should be excited from the recent E3. While I thought Nintendo was dismal, both Sony and MS have some great things to offer gamers now and in the future. "Gamer" isn't that a better word than "fanboy". I am not saying it isn't all right to like a console. It's just ridiculous to treat it as though it was a living and breathing thing. Hell maybe it is for some of you. I don't know. Enjoy the games, and stop the hate!
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.
Just not how you presented it. You should huck in some formatting, maybe a paragraph or two. Perhaps write it up and then proof read it. I just detect a lack of effort. Maybe this would work better as a forum topic... that way noone has to approve it before it becomes publicly viewable.
I understand your anger and i agree, that's why I approved... but the formatting?? really that is probably why it has not been approved yet... maybe with just a little more thought and effort this could be a great article... for now it's just one big ol' ranting paragraph.. doesn't help your cause much really. Nor you for that matter.
Just my opinion :/
You are 100% right!
I wish I could agree but I can't help but think you might be remembering or imagining the old days a bit too fondly. I'm old enough to remember the terrible war that broke out between Sega and Nintendo back in the days of 16 bits. I remember shipping out to the front line with my rifle and my copy of Gamesmaster magazine, ready to kill young men no older than I, for what? What did all the bloodshed get us? Crazy Taxi? Wii fit? Was it really worth it?
My best friend these days is an ex Nintendo soldier, I myself fought for Sega. We meet for tea and trade war stories once or twice a month and it's almost funny to us now, that these people were sent to fight and die to protect the honour of a gaming company that they weren't even employed by. People have always done it and so long as there are people they always will do it. It's all such a terrible waste. Especially since Atari already achieved console perfection with the Jaguar.
i like this guy hes smart.
I still love talking about games.Forget Sony,MS,Nintendo,sales reports,and metacritic.
I eagerly anticipate Metroid Prime Other M,Uncharted 2,Gran Turismo 5,Alan Wake,Splinter Cell Conviction and Super Mario Galaxy 2.These games will be bursting with quality in graphics,music,art direction,story,game mechanics and most importantly fun.
Just bring the games back to the gamers,not the trolls,fanboys,stockbrokers,an d "journalists"
