Learn all about the world of wonder that awaits you in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, coming to Nintendo Switch October 20th!
With more than 20 unique Mario games available for Nintendo Switch, it's time to pick out the best of the bunch.
10.21 million PC and console games were sold across Europe according to GSD, a slight drop of 2.3% year-on-year. This data covers all games sold digitally by most major games publishers across the Eurozone (for UK market analysis, click here), and physical game sales in all major Eurozone markets.
"As for consoles, not every Eurozone country is tracked. But across those that are included, PS5 is up 143% year-on-year in October (11% up month-on-month), Switch is 20% down year-on-year (10% up month-on-month), while Xbox is down 52% year-on-year (down 20% month-on-month)"

Savage, Xbox is down 52%, a dire situation for Xbox 3 years in this gen.
That's one month after Starfield, did not make a difference in September and certainly did not make a difference for October, no legs for that.
Onto Spider-Man 2, and the PS5 game's launch was strong, with the first two weeks up nearly 30% compared with 2018's Spider-Man, and almost three times higher than 2020's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Ya know, they gave that game out for PS+ and after that happened the game became popular again.

The game was dying, then this happened and ever since then it's been quite popular.
I'm glad. I enjoy it a lot. That last mode they had over Halloween was pretty cool too.
If they brought in some more older maps into Portal I'd be ecstatic (like Metro?)
Now, 3 years in the gen and Xbox is down 52% in a year with Starfield.
Keeping in mind that the current generation should go until 2028, I wonder how Xbox will continue? They sold less than half as many consoles as last year and none of their upcoming releases carry expectations remotely comparable to Starfield. I think a new Xbox in 2026 is a possibility if Series X/S sales continue to be so bad, but I have doubts about its effectiveness, I doubt that an x360 situation will repeat itself.
Microsoft's "almost infinite" money and recent monstrous acquisitions are a big advantage, but I don't think the impact will come soon, maybe next gen?
Let them rush into the next gen, PS5 is getting a Pro console so it's not like they will be able to achieve a huge advantage and the One X was 40% more powerful and they couldn't even win it's launch month. I personally think rushing a console for them is more likely to have a negative effect as any real benefit, I mean SX is significantly underperforming the xbone...
We see how long the PS4 generation has gone, which is to say PS4 games are still getting made and probably will still be getting made in 27. Rushing to the next gen for anyone is completely unnecessary. In fact I have been thinking that financially it would be best to have a really long generation. There really isn't even a need to change generations until something really changes things up again like SSD.
No chance of a new generation anytime soon, not counting the upcoming PS5 Pro. It'd be too expensive, and developers already have to make 2 versions of Xbox Series games, if MS released another console, they'd be stuck making 3 versions of each Xbox game! YIKES!
This is where Sony made the right choice, so far only 1 PS5 version needs to be made, but perhaps next year when the PS5 Pro comes out, 2 versions will be made.
Late reply I know, but the PS5 Pro doesn't even need new versions, all it needs is for games to have an unlocked framerate and use dynamic resolution scaling just by the nature of it being more powerful it'll have higher resolutions and better framerates.
But like you implied, It's way easier to exploit more power, than to squeeze a game onto a weaker console.
Hey don't worry because soon we'll have a few articles saying....''How -52% down for Xbox is a great thing for MS gaming division and the industry, it'll also help to shape its dominant future''...
I've got my pre order locked in along with Spider man 2 honestly not sure what to play first think if has to be Mario
Doesn't matter what you call these 2D Mario games, same old each time. Super Mario, New Super Mario and Super Mario Land, the dogs are barking at Bowser turning up. I'd have gone for a new Super Mario World. The sequel to Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo wasn't a true sequel. A new 2D Zelda is due.
I'm looking forward to this game as I haven't played a 2D Mario game since Super Mario Wii U, which I had a great time playing with my son. I'm looking forward to the whole family playing this Mario adventure together.
I honestly don't get people jizzing themselves over this in this day and age. This crap was new and fun over 30 years ago but looking at this gameplay now it's just....yawn. My opinion of course and I stick by it.
