    Xbox to increase in price again in August, Series S set to hit $500

    Not the best step, but in general this is probably more related to shortage of stuff in the hardware market than anything else. And why we are seeing price increases for multiple hardware vendors (Nintendo, Sony and now Xbox). And lets not forget the Steam Machine and its ... well pricing...

    Firmware 22.5.0 released for Switch and Switch 2, brings new eShop layout to the original system

    Why should this even be a Switch update when the shop is basically an endpoint itself? Seesm like sometimes they want to do less and less to push a firmware update.

    Nintendo Direct June 9, 2026 roundup - Ocarina of Time remake announced, Kingdom Hearts IV trailer

    Nintendo fined 35 million euros by the French government due to Switch 1 Joycon malfunctions

    Probably not a populair thing to say; Never had any drifting issues on my joy-con, and I have multiple Switch1s over the years. But a bit more on topic; NIntendo just scoffs at that fine really. The amount simply does not push them to be or do better ... Wish punishments from legal systems in...

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    Honestly as long as there is Trump, there will be a tariff's situation for Non US. No two ways about that really. And do some companies play into that? Of course, but where there tariffs under previous regiments ;) Either way gaming is venturing into something it shouldn't be, it should be...
