Sony Is “Closely Monitoring” Nintendo’s Switch OLED Pricing, Analyst Claims

An analyst by the name of Hideki Yasuda has claimed that Sony is monitoring Nintendo’s pricing for its newly-announced Switch OLED model. In a report featured in The Japan Times as reported by Nintendo Life, the analyst claims that Nintendo Switch’s OLED’s success could set a precedent within the industry, giving other manufacturers incentives to tap into pricing mid-life console upgrades at a higher price.  According to the report, producing a Switch OLED model only costs $10 more for Nintendo which should net the Kyoto-based giant a $40 profit on

Valve’s boss Gabe Newell on Steam Deck’s price: ‘We’re doing this for the long haul’

With yesterday’s announcement of Steam Deck, Valve’s handheld console, the first assumption of a lot of gamers was that the console is fairly priced. Valve will charge $399 for the 64GB version, $529 for the 256GB version that uses an SSD instead of an eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard), and $649 for the 512GB version, which also features a “premium anti-glare etched glass” and an exclusive carrying case.

Best artisan keycaps

Keycaps come in a variety of designs, colors, shapes, and textures. Some users prefer classic, straightforward keycaps.

This limited-edition Super Mario smartwatch will run you $2,150

Those who’ve followed Nintendo with any sort of frequency over the years know the gaming giant has a tendency to be extremely protective with its IP. Ultimately, it’s probably for the best that the market wasn’t flooded with cheap Mario knickknacks the way it easily could have been. In recent years, however, the company has seemingly loosened its approach, more readily embracing brand partnerships in ways it has shunned in the past. Heck, we’ve even gotten a bunch of mobile games and a theme park out of the deal. Today,

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is Emblematic of Sony’s Increasingly Cynical Pricing Policy

The last few months have been a whirlwind of bad press for Sony- which feels weird to say. The PS5 has been selling like hotcakes since launch, becoming the fastest selling console in history, it’s been getting a steady stream of solid exclusives, from Demon’s Souls to Returnal to Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and with the likes of God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West and so much else to look forward to, it’s fair to say that where the console’s lineup is concerned, the future looks bright. But with the closure of SIE Japan

Outbreak skins return to Rainbow Six Siege, some outraged over pricing

The skin collection from the Outbreak event in Rainbow Six Siege, which debuted during 2018’s Operation Chimera, has returned to the in-game shop. Items are purchasable with both real-world money and the in-game currency, renown. Rather than glee, however, the Siege community has had a mixed reaction to the return of the skins since they didn’t come back alongside the wildly popular Outbreak event itself. Outbreak placed the operators of the Rainbow Six team against an insidious alien parasite in a Left 4 Dead-style single-player series of missions. Outbreak was
