PS4 is Dead
This is one of the biggest takeaways from Sony’s latest gaming earnings report. Make no mistake, the focus is still on the slight hit that video game unit sales took in the last quarter. But, as TweakTown points out, it also served as the “death certification” for the PlayStation 4.
According to TweakTown, all the Sony earnings reports from 2014 until the quarter before its latest one had a section specifically for PS4 console shipments. The Q122 report did not have such a section.
Instead, Sony replaced it with a section for PS5 sales. This is the signal for the end of the PS4. Then again, this was a long time coming, Sony first launched the PS4 in 2013. With this “confirmation”, it appears that Sony’s earlier statement that it will make a million more PS4 units for the year was for the last batch.
Now that Sony is expected to stop producing more PS4 units, PS4 sales will top out at 117.2 million. It’s not quite enough to topple the PlayStation 2’s record at 155 million but it should secure a top 5 finish of all time, as the Nintendo Switch is expected to eclipse its sales in the next few years after already outselling the PS4 in the United States.
Hogwarts Legacy Leak
Hogwarts Legacy is shaping up to be the Harry Potter game of our dreams, and it’s kind of surprising we don’t have a firm release date already, considering the wizarding simulator is currently slated for a Holiday 2022 release.
Well, we might have a better idea of when we can expect to don our robes, at least, if the release date for an art book listing is anything to go by.
Amazon UK customers who had pre-ordered a companion book to the game, The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy: Exploring the Unwritten Wizarding World, noticed that the placeholder release date for the book had changed from 31st December to 6th December 2022. In addition, customers received emails (which have been seen by VGC) notifying them of this change of release date.
The 6th of December also happens to be Hagrid’s birthday, which may or may not be relevant to this story, but it is to us!
So what does an art book have to do with the release of the game? As Reddit user Aromatic-Adaggio2121 helpfully points out, Gotham Knights (another Warner Bros. game) is getting a similar art book, which is set to coincide with that game’s launch, on 25th October, which gives us some hope.
DualSense Pro Leak
If there’s one thing almost everyone can agree on with the PlayStation 5, it’s that the DualSense controller is excellent and a great improvement on the DualShock line from previous consoles.
There’s always room for improvement though and a new patent gives a hint at how Sony may be planning to upgrade future versions, specifically when it comes to their analogue sticks.
As with any patent, there’s no guarantee it’ll get used but the idea of adding force feedback to the stick themselves, when you push them down, sounds like a great idea.
