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.

Despite popular belief, PS4 sales in the UK skyrocketed last year

PS4 sales in the UK climbed by a shocking 633 percent year-over-year in 2023, so apparently the old system isn’t dead yet. The previous year’s very limited supply of the system is likely a major factor in this figure, since the console’s lifespan was drastically reduced because of chip shortages caused by the pandemic. Still, it’s proof that PlayStation’s original platform has unmet demand.

With the very low prices of PS4 software (both in-store and online at the PS Store), this strategy makes a lot of sense. Plus, it’s future-proof, so there’s no harm in stocking up on PS4s while new-gen pricing is still high, since if you decide to switch to a PS5 in the future, you can transfer all of your purchases across. Not to mention that the majority of new releases still come out on the PS4, with several offering free PS5 upgrades.

While the percentage rise may seem huge, real PS4 sales will probably be much lower. It’s a sign that the gadget, which is now a decade old, isn’t completely dead yet, and we expect it to keep receiving maintenance for a while longer. Of course, this is great news for Sony, because the company would rather have PS4 players playing on its last-gen gadget than none at all, even if it would love to have them upgrade to PS5.

A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?

Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:

  • We updated system software security
  • We improved system software stability and performance
  • Some screens now have better messages and usability

That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.

Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
