Nicholas dives into the mess that is the PlayStation Classic, and breaks down why a console with such a classic games library ultimately failed.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
The PlayStation Mid-Year Deals promotion has a bunch of games worth checking out that are priced at $4.99 or below.
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…

yeah nothing is gonna dethrone nintendo in japan, especially if there's a handheld involved.
Wow… Nintendo is champ in Japan, but the speed of sale is remarkable.
Proves that console gaming isn’t dead yet not by a long shot.

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.
If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
it depends what quality of Nostalgia you offer and in what quantity ....Sony made one and huge mistake with PS one classic (along many other minor ones), ...the "mistake" /s was the PS3 ,PSvita ,PSP access to almost any PS1 game through PSN ...people had played and seen all the classic games again and again in any PS console possible (and lets not forget the recent remakes of juggernaught games like FF 7, Crash remake, etcetc) --> so PSclassic was instantly DOA ......other minor mistakes were that bad choice of many included games ...i want PSclassic to play Crash Bandicoot legendary trilogy or Capcom legacy surv-horror games (Resident Evil 1-3, Dino Crisis) , NOT pocket fighter and jumping flash
Wouldn't say that. It was just a rushed, poorly executed cash grab.
No, its a reminder that crap products can crash and burn even with a big brand and marketing campaign.
Wrong games limited amount, buy the real machine then play games like Einhander, Rtype delta, Thunder force 5, Raycrisis, Raystorm, Gradius Gaiden, Parodius collection, Darius G, Raiden project, I love retro shooters something only having the real tech delivers. Besides a few gems on PS1 mini most games are shovel ware.
