John - I stand corrected:

John - I don't think that's how it works and won't work quite like that. Chances are, you're stuck with a Japanese console and either need to get Japanese games for it or sell it and get a US one.

While there are some older/retro games that I have fun playing (mostly my favorite handful or games I've never played), I can't stand playing them on original hardware. Nostalgia makes me look at an old PlayStation or Super Nintendo and feel the way I did as a kid playing games, but having to...

I rarely go back and play old games. If I do, it's because they were re-released on a subscription I have (like GoldenEye when it came to Xbox GamePass or several games on the Switch). Otherwise I try to get games cheap and then plow through them to get to the next one ASAP. I have a lot of...

For me, it fluctuates. Married but no kids, myself and the wife work full time with good jobs, so we have plenty of money and a good amount of time. I have a few similar/related hobbies that gaming fits into. If there's a game I'm really digging, I'll make an effort to prioritize it. If I'm...

Not seeing anything from this that hasn't been done before so it's not piquing my interest much. Also, the main character's animation seems really...odd? Bad?

A native handheld gaming platform would be a tough sell in today's market. Either expensive like a Steam Deck (basically the high end of new console prices) and it plays digital versions of the same games on the consoles OR a new platform that is underpowered compared to the consoles and gets...

Sony usually does preorders through their PlayStation website using PSN names as a way to weed out people and limit purchases. I used it for my PSVR2 and PS Portal preorders and it worked great. But you do need to be a bit proactive and get on it ASAP. The PS5 definitely has some untapped...

Instead of the Battlefront games we got for PS4/Xbox, they should have released that collection instead.

I think the lack of backward compatibility kind of killed it out of the gate. It's tough selling such an expensive add-on to an already-expensive system, even more when your old library of digital-only games can't go with it or you can't say at launch "look at all these great games you can play...

Any game that advertises scavenging, crafting, base-building, and "survival" instantly goes into my "no thanks" list. I have a full time job, I don't need to spend my free time pretending I need another job.

I saw that from last week. Definitely interesting and they pulled it off as a software-only hack. I wonder if this would be something Sony intends to use somehow. Not emulation but rather just having some degree of actual power in the unit.

The new Pokemon game announced this morning has a 2025 release date "on all Switch consoles" which backs up this rumor. Wonder if Nintendo is going to emulate the Switch launch and announce/show it in the fall.

Sounds a lot like the leak from the FTC documents last year. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/alleged-xbox-series-x-refresh-revealed-in-colossal-ftc-court-docs-leak
