    Nintendo Switch 2 will "be hybrid again" launch at $400. 8 inch LCD. use Nvidia chip & be BC. Nikkei says releases March 2025.Dev kit update.|UP| 4/26/24

    Consoles APU are mostly (80%) GPU. But let’s take the paper spec… it is still too low decrease in size. That is the biggest issue why CPUs and GPUs nowdays doesn’t move in performance like in the past… the reason why CPUs started to glue cores together to advance in performance.

    I was wrong… But your numbers are paper specs and not what happens in real life at the first interaction of he process… over the time it get upgrades so maybe it can reach or even surpass your numbers. Polaris 14nm - 24.6m/mm2 Navi 10 7nm - 41m/mm2 Navi 31 5mm - 81.2mm2 14nm to 7nm = 40%...

    I don’t see them archiving good popularity on PS at. Forza will be a shadow of GT. Halo won’t have the Bungie name behind. Maybe Gears has chance?

    Discussion Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami explains why he left Tango Gameworks and founded Kamuy

    And he left it after Microsoft purchased them is just a coincidence… sure. Basically when the purchase happened he choose to leave but hold it until release his last project.

    Big than Switch doesn't look good. But I understand the reason… chips are not going down for years already. Between 14nm and 5nm you had like 20-30% in size for the same amount of transistors… that is what is driving chips too big. Steam Deck was never portable size btw.

    Xbox Nadella:We set third quarter records for game streaming hours, console usage, and monthly active devices...had 7 games among the top 25 on the PSStore

    It is dumb metrics. If you sold more console you will stats bigger data even if they sold like 600-700k consoles to consumers they will increase these starts. Having more consoles sold and the stats lowering is just very improbably to happen.

    These numbers are not right I guess… without AB is closer to -10% in revenue than -4%. Content and Service alone is down -4% without AB.

    Why are you not counting Halo 5, Titanfall, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3 and 4, Sunset Overdrive, Forzas Motorsport 5 and 6, Forza Horizon 2 and 3, Rise of Tomb Raider etc for Xbox One? That only counting 2013 to 2016.

    Since 2019 my job is full home (even in my contract)… I don’t like the hybrid way. But I understand not all jobs can allow full remote… some doesn’t even allow hybrid.

    BTW. People is not ready to talk yet but Xbox made way more mistakes with Series than Xbox One (and yes I pointed that in 2020 in GAF). Xbox One launch to mid gen today looks like a champion compared with Series launch to mid gen.
