How to Fish sounds ridiculous.
On February 21, 2023, Microsoft and Nintendo signed a binding 10-year contract to bring Activision's Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms, contingent on Microsoft successfully completing its acquisition of the publisher. That, of course, has long come to pass, but no Call of Duty materialized on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 until Modern Warfare 4. The game's pre-order beta is now live on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X, though not on Switch 2. However, a few content creators, such as Spawn Wave and Nintendo World Report, were able to go hands-on with the version for Nintendo's console and […]

US physical game sales hit their lowest monthly total on record in July, falling to just $85 million in revenue, the weakest figure Circana (formerly NPD) has recorded since it began tracking the market in 1995. The numbers offer some of the clearest data yet supporting Sony's controversial decision to stop manufacturing new physical PlayStation discs starting January 2028. According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, physical software spending in July was down sharply against an already-declining trend. Last month, only two PlayStation games sold more than 10,000 physical copies during the week ending July 11, while seven had sold over […]

EA said to have done the same thing.When it comes to sales reports across the games industry, some of them only provide estimated figures because analysis firms don't have all the definitive details, but Circana actually receives digital sales data from various publishers including Sony, SEGA, Konami, Capcom and others - and until very recently, Xbox and EA as well.However, the firm is reporting this week (via Kotaku) that both Xbox and EA have decided to pull out of sharing their digital sales data with Circana, although neither company has responded to a request for comment yet. This means that it'll become much harder and less accurate for them to track digital sales data in the US.Read the full article on purexbox.com
Under the current market conditions with high prices for components such as RAM that show no signs of abating for a few more years, the PlayStation 6 and Xbox Project Helix are set to become the most expensive gaming systems ever released. In Sony's camp, however, the rumored handheld is a glimmer of hope, as it could offer an affordable entry point into the next generation of consoles. However, this may not be the case, as well-known AMD leaker Kepler_L2 suggested a price below $600 could be impossible. LPDDR Prices Are Going to Push The PlayStation 6 Handheld Price High […]
