Sony doesn't want you to play with your Xbox or Switch friends, I argued last June. We've known since 2016 that Sony is the only company standing in the way of buddies being able to team up across PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, since there's no technological limitation. And though Sony has since been shown up by Microsoft and Nintendo, and though Sony enraged the Fortnite community, and though Fallout developer Bethesda has badmouthed Sony about cross-play and threatened to hold another game hostage, and even though PlayStation America CEO Shawn Layden suggested...

How can a day be more perfect than battling your friends on PS4?

The PlayStation 3 was the best-selling games console in the US for September, according to NPD, breaking an impressive stranglehold on the top of the charts that the Xbox 360 had managed to keep for the 32 months since January 2011. NPD analyst Liam Callahan told Gamesindustry.biz that Sony's system was boosted by the release of a Grand Theft Auto V bundle, showing how Rockstar's blockbuster series "can shake things up in hardware as well as software.”

There are a lot of very unhappy PS4 owners right now, as reports of bricked consoles and no available replacements come in from all over the web.

As shipments continue to go out for the PS4, many of the consoles are DOA with the "pulsating blue light" being the most common. Now a Foxconn intern claims the consoles were deliberately sabotaged.

When PlayStation 3 was first released by electronics giant Sony in 2006, it was sold at a loss with the hope of making money back on individual games. That’s pretty close to what Sony is doing again with the PS4, although it’s not as extreme. At least that’s the conclusion drawn by the research firm IHS, which will later today release the findings of a teardown analysis of the PS4 and the combined cost of the components used to build it.

Found this deal, they allow full refunds. It's refurbished but considering a controller alone costs $60, this seems like a great deal on a system that will still be around for many years.

In the last two weeks, we've gotten two new consoles in the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. Add last year's Nintendo Wii U, and you've officially got a lot of new video game stuff to take in.

Nearly overnight, the PS4's easy linking with Twitch has made a few people stars of the internet.

In October, Sony announced that they would sell the PlayStation 4 in Brazil for 4000 real, or the equivalent of 1800 USD. That’s right: the citizens of the fifth largest country in the world have to pay more than four times what Americans pay for the new console, if they choose to buy it in stores in Brazil. The reason?
