I have a deeper understanding why Playstation is no longer big in Japan after looking in stores and talking to people: - Prices are not affordable anymore, especially when the yen is weaker - Sony gave up on Japan over the years, especially when they moved HQ from Tokyo to California (this was a huge slap on the face) - Playstation is not presence anywhere, it's hard to find Sony stuff in general while Nintendo you can't miss for example - Their first party output doesn't appeal to the Japanese gamer - No real handheld options as of now but will change with the PS6 gen - They don't go aggressive on 3rd party games anymore that appeal to japanese gamers like they did before Button line is Sony needs to have a handheld option with games that appeal to Japanese gamers at a affordable price. And have a bigger presence everywhere, marketing and appeal

Microsoft is working on a new system called Positron that could let Xbox players turn their physical game discs into digital copies. The idea is simple: you put the disc in your console or drive, the system checks that you own the game, and then it adds a digital version to your Xbox account. Once converted, the game would work with cloud gaming, play on many devices, and fit better with new hardware, while the physical disc would likely stop working afterward to stop people from sharing or selling the same copy. We do not know which games would work, if it costs money, or when it might launch, and Microsoft has not confirmed it, so this is still just a rumor.
