Microsoft has pushed back against reports claiming GTA 6 PS5 pre-orders are crushing Xbox, saying the data doesn’t show the full picture. “The data being cited does not reflect actual Xbox pre-order performance. It is based on a limited set of affiliate link activity, not real sales. GTA 6 has already set Xbox pre-order records, and we encourage people to wait for official sales data instead of drawing conclusions from incomplete information.” The original reports relied on affiliate link data suggesting PS5 pre-orders led Xbox by as much as 6:1 or 8:1. Microsoft says affiliate links cover only a small number of purchases and aren’t a reliable measure of total sales.

Valve promised 4K at 60FPS performance for most games on Steam Machines but recent reviews cast some doubt on that performance benchmark. The company has now deleted that claim from the Steam Machine's store page. kotaku.com/valve-removes-…

This is unaffordable and I sympathize with anyone looking to buy a gaming console in this economy Delay Project Helix and PlayStation 6 indefinitely, no one can afford this Focus on the hardware that we already own because this aint it

From Herman Hulst, the first "you had a good run, Destiny" comment and a nebulous statement on the future of Marathon and current incubations (incubations are not greenlit games) sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/a…

Sony ha eliminado su publicación en la que promocionaba GTA 6 para PS5 con el eslogan “El mejor lugar para jugar”. Me parece un movimiento bastante extraño. Tal vez Rockstar Games consideró que el mensaje podía interpretarse como si GTA 6 fuera exclusivo de PlayStation.
