Iconic Japanese retro gaming store Super Potato have opened an eBay store allowing international fans to purchase their merchandise.
Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled the Razer Clio, in innovative gaming chair accessory designed to deliver headset-like immersive audio without the constraints of wearing one.
This is an interesting option for gamers who plan to get the new system.
Nintendo has announced its financial results for the full fiscal year, alongside an update to Nintendo Switch shipments and more data, including a prediction for Switch 2 hardware and software.
well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.
so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them
Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.
That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.
Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.
I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.
Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
I'm excited to buy more new games to bring them mainstream.
Great for people overseas, but bad for people here in Tokyo, because now the prices will go absolutely nuts. They are a business, so I do understand it. I hope the nostalgia value of the store itself will stay the same. I love walking past it in Akihabara, they have Chrono Trigger on an original Snes running in a CRT on and other stuff like that, hundreds and hundreds Snes cartridges, and thousands of old classic games in the shop. I hope they stay real instead of going for the money...
