During the week of April 22, Switch and PlayStation 4 sales were extremely close in Japan. The two were at 8,042,166 units and 8,047,754 units sold respectively. Now that the latest data from Japan (via Famitsu) has come in, we can now say that Switch has reached another major milestone.

PlayStation 4-exclusive Days Gone has secured the biggest physical sales launch of the year so far in the UK. Impressively for a new intellectual property, Days Gone beat the sales of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 and Ubisoft's Far Cry: New Dawn and The Division 2. However, Days Gone's launch sales come in under those of fellow PS4-exclusives God of War and Spider-Man.

It is nothing too outrageous, but users who have started running out of memory on their PS4 systems might need to clear out some room for this one.

Sony's free PlayStation 4 theme for God Of War includes a rune that teases the arrival of the Norse Gods' doomsday, Ragnarok. As a thank you to fans, Sony Santa Monica has released a free PS4 theme for God Of War. While the theme initially doesn’t look like much, there is a hidden Easter egg that teases “Ragnarok is coming” in the inevitable sequel.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the best-selling consumer electronics products aren’t necessarily a company’s latest or highest-end products; mass-market customers often gravitate instead towards affordable models with good enough performance. That’s the reason console makers keep last-generation models around after launching superior sequels: as long as there’s a promise of at least token continued support, “old” hardware is still viable.

It's been a few years since the PlayStation VR for the PS4 and PS4 Pro launched onto the virtual reality scene, bringing with it an excellent virtual reality headset experience for console gamers.

Yeah, well they just released their 2018 fiscal year earnings and what do you know? Turns out that small company Sony that everyone has definitely never heard of had the most successful and profitable year ever.

They are closing in, their numbers growing greater every day. The outlook is bleak for my survival. Therefore, the only option I have left is to just accept it and make chairs out of human bones and craft a totally vain zipline that does nothing. This has been the majority of my time with The Forest on PS4, role-playing a less dramatic version of Will Smith in I Am Legend and completely overlooking the fact that my protagonist’s son has been kidnapped — I’m sure he will be fine.

Getting trolled on social media is not a new thing and it might look like you’re inviting it if you buy your rival’s technology for your personal use. Xbox Spain Community Manager was the latest victim of social media backlash. Her mistake? She decided to post a picture of Overwatch on Twitter but the game was for Playstation 4. While Playstation 4 is a really good console, it doesn’t help if you’re Xbox Community Manager.

Kingdom Hearts 3 will offer two different gameplay modes that prioritize performance or visuals. You are free to pick between any of them depending on your tolerance to the frame rate. As Kingdom Hearts 3 is out on January 25th in Japan, it is now playable through the digital pre-order on PlayStation Store. For the rest of the world, they will have to wait until January 29th.

March marks a change for Sony's PlayStation Plus service. Instead of giving away 4 games, spanning the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, Sony is now only giving away two. Each month Sony will give subscribers two games on PS4, but PS3 and PS Vita games are no longer one of the perks. In and of itself, this isn't such a big deal, but it does underscore one thing that Microsoft is doing so well.

There’s been a lot of rumblings about The Last of Us Part II in recent weeks, including (suspect) “leaks” of a 2019 release date. And while so much of the game is still a mystery, some relatively unnoticed character art surfaced from the Lead Character Artist at Naughty Dog. And it certainly shows the power that the PS4 is able to push, assuming we can get this definition on all consoles.

Sony is finally ready to talk about the next-generation PlayStation it’s been working on for the past four years.

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has threatened to go on hunger strike for better video games to alleviate his "torture"-like living conditions, in a letter to prison authorities.

It's been over a year since HBO and Sony announced it was coming to the PlayStation 3 and 4, and one day shy of a year since it arrived on PS3. That wait apparently wasn't long enough for everyone though, as Comcast is the lone provider that won't let its subscribers log in via the new app. Otherwise, system owners can download the app today and activate it online...
