Microsoft says that Windows 10 Creators Update will be including Bitstream audio pass-through support for any and all Blu-ray games on the platform
The Nintendo Switch 2 has proved to be a success the world over, however, one nation which is particularly keen on the Nintendo’s latest platform is naturally Japan. Recent sales data has shown that…
N4G feels more like a Sony PR newsletter with a comment section. Sony fanboys have taken over this website.
@operation
Yet the biggest idiots on the site are the Xbox zealots, like the alt spamming articles daily with his endless accounts lol.
@operation
We've always been here. Your complaint days back over a decade. There was no "taking over."
Nintendo dominates the handheld/hybrid market and Playstation dominates the high end market. There is no fight for 2nd. Xbox is just stumbling around until they leave the console market entirely to merge with Windows.
There’s only one market - console gaming. And Nintendo are dominating Xbox and PlayStation
@Avfe63, how many ps5 are out there compared to switch 2s? Lol. Just go play your kiddy Nintendo games, you're not part of the conversation. You Nintendo fans are the worst, you want so bad to get into this console war stuff but all you have is vague grandiose claims of sales. Just stay out of it, enjoy your 1 millionth edition of Mario kart/galaxy/world, Pokémon and donkey kong on you last last gen "new" hardware. Lol
How many PS4 or 5 are out there compared to Switch 1?
Switch 2 just released, but it already shattered all records PS set (which was PS4. Not 5)
“enjoy your 1 millionth edition of Mario kart/galaxy/world”
Ironic for a fanbase who buys TLOU and Horizon remasters constantly 😂
Ignore the alt, he's just holding up a Nintendo shield to deflect from 2 disastrous gens in a row for Xbox.
The real question is will Swotch 2 outdo the lifetime sales. I’m not so sure about that and the third-party game sales appear to be abysmal. That’s not a fantastic sign of things to come. Time will tell though.
yeah nothing is gonna dethrone nintendo in japan, especially if there's a handheld involved.
It also broke the previous records set by PS4 in the west
So it’s not just Japan. Its global.
A lot of that has to do with availability of consoles. You couldn’t find a launch PS4 after the first 3 days for a while. PS5 even more so.
I’m not saying this to take anything away from Nintendo, I’m only saying they came with more consoles to start. If there were 1.5M PS4s in North America at launch they likely would have all been sold immediately. So the launch record is a bit skewed there.
I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.
Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.
Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.
Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
Amid rumors it was looking to sell Eve Online developer CCP Games, Pearl Abyss has given a statement to Insider Gaming.
