PS5 Pro announced.

Some features include an upgraded GPU, Advanced Ray Tracing, and AI Driven Upscaling.

Will cost $700 and does not include a disc drive.
It’s a wrap for Sony because this has been my thoughts for awhile:

I don’t see this being priced at more than $400, and if that’s the case, easiest launch Nintendo could possibly have.

Sony releasing a $700 version of their console with upgrades most people won’t even notice.

-Nintendo with a $400 upgrade that’s going to make their games run way mor efficient and look a thousand times more upscaled than previously.

It really doesn’t get any easier than that.

This is also kind of wild and something u could see happen. Parents will probably prefer buying two of these because they are cheaper than normal switched and can let their kids play together, while still having their own consoles. Something they can’t get with a PS5 or the Pro:

Yeah, the PS5 Pro is dead on arrival for all of the reasons previously mentioned.

Anywho, YAY! My Shantae Swimsuit Special magazine has finally arrived!

Now that Microsoft is mostly done with the console industry, expect things to get worse from here. Because Nintendo has a completely different strategy, Sony basically has a monopoly on "normal" console gaming.

$1000 for a PS6, please!

man it feels so ****ing weird yet ****ing awesome to be using Aigis as the main character instead of Makoto/Kotone. Even the casual ability to communicate without speaking like they do is there

If the rumors that the Switch 2's specs are more PS4 Pro than base PS4 are true, it might as well be normal console gaming too given most devs are either A. Still making PS4 games, or B. Making games that look like they might as well be on the PS4.

If the Switch 2 is indeed backwards compatible, I really hope controllers are too, including USB ones.

There are some controllers that I want to keep using.

New Multiversus trailer which confirms two new characters for season 3 and also heavily hints at 3 more potentially releasing soon after.

For those curious, the two confirmed are Nubia and Powerpuff girls.

For hints the trailer seems to be hinting towards Halloween themed characters, making me think maybe Halloween will have a bigger blowout event this year and have characters separate from the season.

Those are Freddy Kruger, Raven and Wicked Witch.

That meat looks more realistic than 99.9% of the modern-day graphics that are in games these days.
Nintendo had one hungry ************ working on that minigame

Things like that still proves that Nintendo was playing the long game. The focus of more games for the console rather than stronger processing power.

Who exactly?

Industry insiders with proven tracks records?

Or “industry insiders” who make up **** got attention.
No source in particular I believe but most converstaions on socials.

If it doesn't, we still got until the end of March to find out. No big deal.

I sometimes wish Nintendo would give the Nintendo Land IP another shot.

It doesn't need to have a controller/hardware gimmick.- just make one happen.
I loved Nintendo land, it was a blast. The mini games all stand out and it was cool to see older properties get some attention with it. A lot of potential for a sequel.
