They're almost outselling the XB1 2 to 1 globally, and that's a pretty good position. The thing is that in the US, the PS4 is neck and neck XB1, which means a move like this has the potential to allow the XB1 to gain some momentum in its home field, and potentially transfer some of that energy to the rest of the…

I agree with that to a point. The PS4 may be whomping the XB1 globally, but in the US it's still a relatively tight race. MS doesn't really plan on changing its position in the world, but if it can regain its lead in the US, it might make things a little more interesting...

Your move, Sony.

If you think that's good news, hold tight; Ars also reports that, to compensate, "Xbox Live Gold may put other services behind the paywall to make up for this shift".

Someone mentioned a long time ago that there should be a 1st or 3rd party solution to the "shoulder buttons" problem. I think the idea was some sort of accessory that utilizes an actual tactile button (or hell, an analog trigger) to engage the rear touch panel. Maybe it could come in the form of gamer grips or…

Hope you enjoy your purchase! Although I use Vitas extensively for work, I didn't actually own one until recently, and I've simply fallen in love. I also absolutely love the way the Slim feels and handles in comparison to the OG, and those subtle differences felt huge after extended sessions... but I just can't quit…

It's fair in the sense that you laid out. But I think some folks see this as putting the Vita in a boxing match with someone outside its weight class, like setting up Manny Pacquiao to fight Wladimir Klitschko. A handheld version of a game getting molly-whopped by a version hosted by the Grand Vessel of the Master…

What's going through his mind:

"I have invented... the FIFTH WALL."

Daigo is that you!?

Ah... nothing like the silky eloquence of livestream chat.

I sought to explain what my point was, and I only succeeded in making my head hurt.

My statement is a circle when it comes to points.

And while I'm not advocating for its inclusion, if it was real, I bet someone would buy the red boots for that much. There's always someone like that.

I still haven't been able to play the digital version of the game I purchased last week. Since posting my original story, I've also heard from a number of other Death Cargo customers beyond those originally interviewed who've had similar experiences when trying to install and play it. The Necrostorm representative…

Perhaps that's why it's bundled with the new Slim Vita. It's not worth buying alone if you've access to a superior version... but if it comes with the package (and if you haven't played other versions), you might as well just sink right into it. Direct comparison with other platforms put the Vita version in a bad…

I read that as "plenty of time to procreate."

Well, she's the only one in the family who learned how to tell Death "not today."
