Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.

once all the fanboys and collectors went out and bought the xbone it lost a lot of momentum. MS needs more games coming to entice consumers.
PS4 is still outselling the more readily available competition in a territory that the competition won handily last generation. MS should be troubled by this but they'll get a boost from Titanfall, though it's hard to say how much of a system seller a three platform game will be.
Edit - Oops. Just saw it's a UK chart so disregard the US talk. Doh!
@Death. I don't think ps owners need to go out buy more games. Being as almost everyone of their first party Ips sell very well. And as far as them bleeding money, nope they are no longer bleeding money all of their top execs just got huge bonuses at the first of the year. Santa Monica studios just built a new studio twice the size and are taking on new talent. Sony is getting ready to open up 4 new studios in Europe and for the first time in 6 years Sony is now profitable across the board.
I also believe that M$ have nothing to worry about. There not doing the best they have done but they are not doing bad either. As for games i think both consoles have some good games coming out. And i feel the Sony and M$ are both in a good position to make things happen, and have good promise for 3rd party games and new investors. With sales for both consoles doing as well as they have you will see an abundance of new ip's and new game studios. For the simple fact that the money is there.
Sony though will have the stronger console and better sales this time around. Multi plat games will struggle on the xbox one. Quote me bookmark this comment whatever. The xbox will struggle to hit 1080p. They put a good up scale in there for a reason. The console does not have the right type of ram, strong enough Cpu or strong enough Gpu to out put native 1080p. For last gen games yep they could have hit 1080p. But as there are new AA techniques HBAO and a long laundry list of new improvements they will have to cut corners somewhere. Not to mention three operating systems on the console with a hard infrastructure. Gives devs less time to work out the games core assets and figure out the hard to code xbox one, all at the same time being weaker.
Good numbers all around.
