    Nintendo announces plans to discontinue Nintendo Switch line in Europe next year, outlines upcoming hardware changes for other devices

    This will not stop local vendors from importing devices from overseas further squeezing supply and might cause surge in prices for new devices in other regions. They only redesigned Joy-cons with removable batteries. They should have for the very least redesigned the Lite model because battery...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    This is how you condition the market to work in your favor; you squeeze it as much as you can then claim it's not doing well.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    We know its false and misleading. We also know why they want digital-only because they take a higher cut (30%) in their controlled environment where revenue is shared with the least number of parties. For physical their cut is much smaller usually half that amount (15%) in a form of royalty. But...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    I think they are the ones forcing that scenario because only prominent games get physical releases day one whereas the vast majority are indie titles that almost never get a physical release and even if they did it come very late like many months after when the momentum has already died out...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    It seems illegal because they attain a monopoly on the store where they alone set the prices. Apple and to less degree Valve (even though its false for Valve because PC is an open platform) have gotten a lot of heat from wallgardening storefronts where there's no competitors. What makes Sony any...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Wouldn't this just end the secondary market? No more selling or lending games to friends and opens illegitimate account selling/trading on a larger scale as well as piracy.

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

    Its the same orange man granting these firms tax breaks while making record high earnings to enrich the few handful of investors while making the life of the normies miserable. Its easy to see why these companies have much say in the government when they lobby to pass legislation in their favor...

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

    You can hike and increase prices as much as they want but it will eventually reach a breaking point where the entire system collapses because it becomes unsustainable. Just waiting for the AI bros to be the first to get slapped and go bankrupt.

    Grand Theft Auto VI pre orders go live tomorrow, physical release limited to code in box

    Games that do not fit on a single disc can span multiple discs, that's what's been happening with games on PS4. And you can definitely play the entire thing on discs without downloading anything from the internet; you just be missing out on the latest game patches. But that's a tradeoff people...

    Grand Theft Auto VI pre orders go live tomorrow, physical release limited to code in box

    Companies should be penalized for creating e-waste, its either a proper physical or nothing.

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Are you sure? I'm only going by my local listing. 10 seconds of search led me to this: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-2tb-snv3s/p/N82E16820242903 $275 And this is retail price. Valve isn't buying components at retail. And even if they did, you're paying less than what they are paying at scale...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    We can deduce that 1.5 TB SSD is $300. That seems pretty steep when you can buy a 2 TB stick for less than $250. The 2 TB is not a good bargain.

    You just copied another person's project, you even had the audacity to use the same background and font.

    Sony announces PlayStation Plus price increase for new customers starting May 20

    Lucky for the people that got subscription locked in. I was getting the premium package for the essential one until I messed up.

    Nintendo announces price increases across the board, set to come into effect from September in western regions

    I think Nintendo's hardware is overpriced no matter how you slice it. You cannot convince me that this hardware is more expensive than launch PS5 that had cutting edge.
