Sony sold over 91.6 million PlayStation 4 consoles worldwide as of Dec. 31, 2018, according to the company’s own internal estimates. And Sony has a lot of reasons to be confident when it comes to this current console generation. Sony has passed Microsoft this generationThe sales milestone is more evidence that Sony is “winning” the current console generation — although, importantly, Microsoft stopped sharing solid hardware sales information for the Xbox One in 2015. It’s highly unlikely that Mic

Nintendo ceased Wii U production by January 2017, and the demand for new, unopened hardware has caused resale prices to soar. Someone selling a hard-to-find item for a high price doesn’t always mean that the item is worth that much. But looking at new Wii U hardware on eBay that actually sold to a buyer shows that these values are surprisingly realistic. But the combination of low player interest during the system’s life, high interest in any unopened examples of defunct Nintendo hardware in gen

A game called Panty Party will launch on Nintendo Switch this spring — but it is not at all what you’re expecting it to be, based on that name alone. Cosen, a Japanese indie studio, released a mesmerizing trailer this weekend with an important, surprising caveat: “‘Warning!’” writes Cosen. Panty Party is a fighting game starring a diverse cast of underwear, all of which (or whom? This is a panty raid like none we’ve seen before, and honestly? Keep an eye out for an invite to the Panty Party when

Raf Grassetti is the art director for last year’s God of War, but he’s much more than the artist behind the game’s scarred and battle-worn characters. And his latest love is for Super Smash Bros., an obsession that has led him to kick off a series of Instagram posts sharing his favorite Smash fighters, reimagined. And several of his Super Smash Bros. portraits are also wonderful. As much as we’re enjoying his Super Smash Bros. Remastered series, we’re quietly grateful that Super Smash Bros. At l

In a new short story titled “Bastet,” Blizzard Entertainment confirms that Soldier: 76 (aka Jack Morrison) is the second LGBTQ character in the Overwatch universe. Former sniper Ana comes across a wounded Soldier: 76 in the streets of Cairo, and takes him back to her hideout. I’m happy for him.” “Vincent deserved a happier life than the one I could give him.” Jack sighed. The announcement comes a little over two years after an Overwatch comic revealed Tracer spending Christmas with her girlfrien

Tony Hawk tweeted a hell of an oh-by-the-way yesterday — there were plans to follow up Space Jam with something called Skate Jam. This would just be an amusing aside if not for the very real picture Hawk provided, because it looks like Warner Bros. was serious about this. Hawk was the headliner, with nine others from the world of skateboarding, BMX and rollerblading mentioned. According to Hawk, once Looney Tunes: Back in Action premiered (which was two years after this festival), Warner wanted

Epic Games is extending — or, rather, bringing back — the 14 Days of Fortnite event that just wrapped up last week. So it’ll get going again sometime this coming week (early, they say) and run until Jan. 15. After catching the mistake, the publisher offered a free Equalizer Glider as a make-good. Epic will enable “some of the most popular Limited Time Modes” from 14 Days of Fortnite, and all challenges will be available to complete for the entirety of the re-run. The Equalizer Glider is still av

A rating for a PC version of Catherine, Atlus’ 2011 romance/horror/puzzle game has surfaced on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board website, hinting that the game may soon come to a new platform. The ESRB rating for Catherine follows a strange post from Sega on the Bayonetta product page on Steam. On Thursday, Sega posted an image of a sheep and the word “Baa” to that page, leading to speculation about a PC version of Catherine, as the game prominently features sheep. Also, in December, the

Now, a week ahead of the Switch game’s launch, Nintendo has answered the question for us. But only Toadette may wear the Super Crown, Nintendo adds. Strangely, Nintendo then throws in an aside: “(Sorry Luigi — only Toadette can use this item! The Bowsette-less New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe launches on Jan. 11. But we hope that Bowsette lives on in all of our hearts — and Tumblr dashboards — if nothing else.

Writer Erik Wolpaw, who worked at Valve on games like Portal, Half-Life 2, and Left 4 Dead, is back working for the developer after leaving the company in 2017, he tells Polygon. Wolpaw says he is not a full-time employee at Valve, however. Wolpaw’s return to Valve was spotted by a user on Reddit who spied the writer’s name in the credits for Artifact, the recently released Dota 2 card game. That Reddit user said they reached out to Valve founder Gabe Newell, who reportedly said, “He’s back.”We
