Not a big fan of all these companies owned by only two studios. Man I wish Nintendo would have bought Rare back in the 90's, at least they were only working on stuff for Nintendo

Selling of Rare was a genius business move by Nintendo.

The company has only made ONE critically and commercially successful game since Microsoft bought them, "Sea of Thieves", which had a disastrous launch and had to do a No Man's Sky to save itself.

Nintendo used that money to reinvest in their first party studios and purchase MonolithSoft. It was a smart move.

Kinect Adventures 1 and 2 sold well, as well. Sea of Thieves did not do a "no man's sky" it launched with a lack of content but sold well and managed to grow its player base due to core systems being different and appealing before doing gangbusters on PC

it's been speculated for ages that Sony and/or MS might acquire a major Japanese third-party developer or publisher, seems like we're in an acquisition frenzy so it might finally happen this year

if MS does it, it will unleash chaos

It is in the thousands! The extremely low 1,000 range but still!

Actually the funnier thing is the entire playstation family is nearly outsold every week by just the switch lite, the worst performing of the three switch skus

Anyway I finished 428 Shibuya Scramble. Figured out all the actual story related postgame stuff but I had to look up a guide for the last three truly obscure easter eggs. That was a great game. Good rec, thread.

$300 for a PS4 slim in 2022 with no games and you pay for shipping. LOL.

They were on sale for black Friday with I believe two games in 2018 for $200 or $250?

My theory is that NYT will keep Wordle free on their word puzzle app and hey while you're there why don't you check out the crosswords and the Spelling Bee

Then more people will join me in the Beehive, perhaps
