Road to VR - PlayStation VR Aim is a new Move-like gun peripheral employed by the newly announced PSVR title Farpoint. Sony quietly revealed the PSVR Aim controller during their E3 2016 PlayStation VR event. We went hands-on with both the game and the controller. Farpoint is a sci-fi FPS for PlayStation VR which sets players on a foreign planet filled with hostile alien creatures. It’s the first PSVR game to be shown with the new PlayStation VR Aim controller which is a standalone Move device with integrated buttons, two thumbsticks, and tracking via the glowing ball on the front and an inbuilt IMU. The release date and price of PSVR Aim hasn’t been revealed. We’re told that Farpoint can also be played with a PS4 controller, but it’s of course designed around the peripheral, which developer Impulse Gear says they co-developed with Sony.
As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.
Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”
Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.
I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.
Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.
I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
Jesse Ventura from the movie "Predator" says "WHAT THE F***?"
i don't care about motion controller or motion gun stuff but with vr its totally different. Day one for me
That thing is ugly, glad i still have my sharpshooter, if I decide to get a PS VR.
Wow, lol. That is hideous. You would think they'd somehow make the glowing orb a little smaller or use a different technology.
