Moneyhat at your service. Theyā€™re so lucky theyā€™re market leader or else those third party studios wouldnā€™t go exclusive.

i asked welfare about it and he said we need to see how many the ship when they do their reporting on the 9th

welfare: ā€œPS5 has to ship +5M to be considered ā€œon trackā€ for 25M otherwise itā€™s lip serviceā€.

So I just heard that my nephew apparently gifted me some MS points, which is really cool. But I didnā€™t get a message or notification on Xbox about it. Do these points get added automatically? I had not checked my credit for a long time, but I do know it was somewhere in the 50,000.

I thought they were supposed to be aiming for 30m this year?

he probably meant MS rewards points which you have to see on the microsoft website or did he use those 50,000 rewards points to buy a gift card?

No he canā€™t access my account, he was on his own account when he gifted it to me. I guess they just get added and you donā€™t see a notification of it then.

REX? As in ā€¦ T-REX? New Dino Crisis game confirmed! :smile:

Those of us old enough to remember his Midway days always knewā€¦ most of the ā€œheā€™s ineffectiveā€ talk was baseless speculation born from people not understanding, at least, his history.

Hey all, if youā€™re interested in participating in Xbox Era game nights, feel free to check this post out and participate in the Discord polls linked therein.

Since Thursday is in the lead for the most popular availability time we could try something today on extremely short notice. If it doesnā€™t work out today, thatā€™s fine. We can be more prepared for next week with more data like all of your time zone availability.

Hahaha. This is probably the case for you every year. Hehe. Joking aside, I was going to put SPider Man 2 at #2 but Jedi Survivor was an amazing sequel compared to Jedi Fallen Order and more so than SM 2 to SM 2018 was in my opinion anyway. Jedi also has souls combat and setup so for me to play through it and Fallen Order before it says a lot. I do think Avatar can be #2 if itā€™s setup like FC 4 and not the recent 2 games which were RPG like.

Grounded, Killer Instinct and Firefight updates still to come this year

Yeah, Jedi Survivor is an excellent sequel. Improved on the original game in pretty much every way.

KI merch is hinted to appear tomorrow. I think the update is coming fairly soon.

Peter, I always enjoy your thoughts on video games. This list is awesome! We should start a new thread on this.

From Stephen Totiloā€™s newsletter:

Mergers & Acquisitions have heated up after an extended quiet period. Mostly from things youā€™ve probably never heard of.

Analysts say:

  • Metzger anticipates Tencent, Sony, Take-Two and Savvy/Scopely will be the most active buyers in 2024, while the Embracer Group is expected to divest more studios.
