Friday

The Nintendo Switch has made its mark on gamers’ hearts. The popularity of the console despite defects is nothing short of amazing. Nintendo made a very incredible comeback from their dark ages with the WiiU. As expected, the performance of the hybrid console during Black Friday has been nothing short of incredible.

Let’s go over this and make it as sweet as possible for the Nintendo fans out there. According to Michael Pachter, the Xbox One X will help Microsoft to win Black Friday in the US. However, that prediction was way off thanks to a report provided by Adobe Insights.

According to our favorite analyst from Nyko Partners, Daniel Ahmad. Black Friday was the day of the Nintendo Switch. The analysis that Adobe Insights offers is that of the most important stores in the United States.

Not only that but we also see that the Nintendo Switch had a great month even before Black Friday hit. November had the Nintendo Switch on the top billings for the days leading up to Black Friday.

Let’s start from the sales during the Veterans Day, the Nintendo Switch came on fourth place in sales performance. With Samsung Tablets, AirPods, Hatchimals and Colleggtibles having a better performance.

Then, we have the thanksgiving celebration and the days leading up to it. Before thanksgiving, the Nintendo Switch ascended into the third most sold product before the thanksgiving celebration. Super Mario Odyssey and the PlayStation VR also came on the top positions.

Finally, Thanksgiving and Black Friday saw Nintendo’s hybrid console as the only gaming product that’s been sold the most during the period. The performance of the Nintendo Switch has practically destroyed the expectations and the Japanese company dominated the sales market.

The Nintendo Switch has been seeing nothing but success. And it’s very well deserved, all things considered. With upcoming releases and the fact that it’s a console everybody likes due to its hybrid capabilities. I’m sure the Nintendo Switch will have a healthy lifespan.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

PC Mounts Show PlayStation Trophy Support

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.

TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.

TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.

TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

If Not Already Clear, Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation

Despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 6 was not confirmed as an Xbox exclusive a few months ago. This happened because Xbox executive Phil Spencer indicated that target platforms hadn’t been selected yet, but it always felt like he was talking about the game being years away rather than the RPG being on PlayStation.

If you’re still holding out, Microsoft plans to release The Elder Scrolls 6 just on Xbox and PC. Documents from the company’s FTC lawsuit were recently released. In the document, Bethesda’s announced titles (both as a publisher and developer) are listed, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is listed for Xbox, PC, and nothing else.

We expected this, but The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced before Microsoft acquired its developer. The Elder Scrolls is a beloved franchise that’s been on various platforms for generations, so this isn’t Starfield.

However, the game isn’t due until 2026 at the earliest, according to the paper, and who knows what the gaming landscape will be like then.

Xbox Nearly Flashed Warner Bros Cash, Sees Nintendo as Holy Grail

Xbox CEO Phil Spencer’s mid-2020 dystopian email suggests the business was interested in buying Warner Bros Interactive and Bethesda. Even more alarming, the CEO calls buying Nintendo a “career moment” and “good for both companies” — and there are even rumors that Microsoft was interested in Valve.

While Spencer warns that acquiring Nintendo would be “hostile action” but “playing the long game”, the unprecedented corporate convergence is shockingly casual. He added: “Nintendo is taking a long time to realize their future is off their hardware. A long time… He even ended the chat with a smiling emoji to make it look more evil.

Spencer claims that Warner Bros Interactive was “gettable” when Microsoft was rumored to acquire it. He adds that “we wouldn’t own any of the IP which hurts long-term flexibility”. Because most Warner Bros Interactive developers work on franchises like Batman, Harry Potter, and others, the studios are worth little without the brands.

The email is over three years old, but it reveals Microsoft’s blasé approach to acquisitions and its goals. While its eventual acquisition of Activision Blizzard may have changed its plans, this leaked exchange suggests that Microsoft will not stop until it has absorbed as much of the industry as possible, even targeting Nintendo.
