Nintendo’s Switch 2 claimed the top spot in US hardware sales for March 2026, outselling the PS5 in both unit and dollar terms – and according to Bloomberg, you can largely thank Pokémon Pokopia for that. The surprise hit landed at exactly the right moment, driving a wave of Switch 2 purchases that helped push Americans to spend $500 million on gaming hardware last month – a staggering 69% year-over-year increase.
Circana analyst Mat Piscatella was direct about what moved the needle, stating that Pokopia “was the primary driver” of Switch 2’s March performance. That’s a remarkable statement when you consider the franchise’s pull – Pokémon has been generating serious buzz lately, and it clearly translated into hardware sales in a way that Sony couldn’t match this month. Keep in mind these figures cover physical and hardware spending tracked by Circana, so digital software numbers sit outside this particular read.
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.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-

Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Great news! XD
Go Nintendo!
Switch 2 is honestly fast becoming one of my favourite systems of all time
All thanks to Pukeopia
Say what you will, but the kids wanted Pokopia and we finally had to get this thing.
Very dissapointed they couldn't release the game on the OG switch, since it's not demanding by any means.... But I understand the need to move on. The Switch lasted us quite a while, and we have a lot of fond memories with the console.
