A secret Switch 2 feature that I love

The Switch 2 has a lot of cool features that I love, but one secret feature really stands out. It feels like the engineers at Nintendo really thought of everything.
It's a Switch PRO

Switch 2 is out and this is how I feel about it.
Is this what Microsoft is planning with Xbox?

Microsoft might be open to losing 30% on third-party game sales in its store because it has bigger plans that involve putting its store on other platforms ... including even PlayStation.

Why I think about the '83 video game crash

The video game crash was a missed opportunity to create a better video game industry -- like the one that existed in the U.K.

We gotta talk about the PlayStation 5 price increase

The PS5 is getting a price increase. Sony is using the uncertainty in inflation and fluctuating exchange rates to raise the price of its console. It, of course, doesn't hurt that it has GTA 6 coming up soon and a higher price will certainly benefit Sony during that game's launch.

If Gears of War can go to PlayStation, anything can. And it makes a lot of sense when you recognize what is happening in the console gaming space.

Gaming feels different now

Microsoft is going to begin selling $80 games this holiday, and it announced price increases for its consoles and accessories. And that reveals (or maybe reminds us) that these companies no longer care about growing console gaming. So now it's just about extracting everything from us.
