MGS4 really needs to come out to boost those PS3 numbers :laugh: At least the PS2 isn't outselling it anymore, but they're hardly numbers to boast about.

Yeah PSP has been doing really good in Japan since they launched the Slim model. It surprised me that it's doing this well since it wasn't a huge revision, you can barely tell the difference just by looking at them. PSP was doing around the 20k mark before the Slim launched. Maybe they like the TV-out function.

Nintendo keeps owning the Software side of the charts. I don't see anything changing, you get 1 maybe 2 PSP games in there for a bit, or hell even a 360/PS3 game once in a while, but it's all NDS and Wii.

I suppose if you have a PS3, the PSP Slim is essentially a portable media center (that you can plug into the TV)

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
