  • It’s exaggerated alright, but Nintendo first-party titles very rarely go on sale and when they do, savings are lower than other manufacturers’ first-party titles.

    As an example, BotW is at around 35% discount a couple times a year on average (although it wasn’t on sale at all for around two years, 2020-22).
    In comparison, on Sony’s side, Demon’s Souls is at around 55% discount these days when it’s on sale every couple months or so. And yes, that’s technically a second-party title, but I feel it’s more relevant to compare launch games in this instance.
    Even Sony is becoming greedy with its own published games not getting huge sales like they used to.



  • Good grief, I hope all affected people will be able to land on their feet quickly enough.

    Microsoft is canceling its new Perfect Dark game that it announced in 2020, according to an internal memo from Xbox president of game content and studios Matt Booty. The company showed off gameplay during the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, but at the time, didn’t provide a release window for the game.

    I’m sure there’ll be more cancellations announced soon enough…
