Jessy from NAGF writes "Gaming systems have been around since the early 80s. Since then there have been many successful systems like Nintendo, Atari, Sega and Sony – and a few unsuccessful systems that any gamer would be embarrassed to admit they had played.
Sometimes gamers can get so caught up in the latest video gaming systems that they forget about how truly bad some of the systems have been. Here’s a look at some of the worst systems ever produced for the gaming market – and one system any gamer should consider purchasing."
Dr. Serkan Toto says: While things do not look great for many studios in the West, things are very different in Japan – and I was shocked how little people in the industry still know and understand about the third biggest gaming market in the world (which is a probably a positive for a Japan game industry consultant like myself).
Honestly, it looks about the same if we are measuring a company's success on their all time high stock price. It has nothing to do with the sentiments some in the industry have.
Objectively the two biggest problems are cost cutting and consolidation.
Sony has published a new patent pertaining to unique lip-sync evaluation and fixing system to automatically fix NPC mouth movements to align them with the original dialogue’s timing, resolving sync issues.
This lip sync thing sounds pretty awesome. But one cannot shake the feeling, this is going to be combined with AI, and….. sigh
AI in this use is no big deal imo and result in better animation for character models.
If implemented correctly, AI is a great addition. For me, the problem with AI starts when companies like Activision use it to pump out art work, cosmetics etc to cut corners when they make so much money already.
A new patent published by Sony discusses PlayStation controllers that are solar-powered, with the ability to charge the battery under light.

My Samsung TV remote charges on solar-power or artificial lights. Or a USB if needed. The tech is hopefully getting better so it can charge a gaming controller.
Skimming this article, I swore they were suggesting the PS3 was one of the bad ones...
This list needs to include the Virtual Boy. A completely un-portable portable gaming device that induced headaches, had almost zero third party support, and only a handful of games
god some of these are absolute shockers!
Whoa. The PS3 "...even has an interactive feature that allows players to play with other players in the game."
Genius!
Ha,ha is this just putting the PS3 as the best console ever? Sounds like a fan boy to me.
Who cares what was rubbish back then, thing is the not so good gaming systems back then collectors pay the earth for them now.
