It seems like they are moving away from hardware sales now that they’re pushing their console exclusives to PC/Playstation. They really are trying to push for gamepass, but I feel like that’s going to alienate their core fan base that has invested into their ecosystem.

They don’t seem to be concerned with communication either, which is concerning considering Sony and Nintendo both seem to have better outreach in the past decade. Such a strange shift from when the 360 dominated the market despite having red ring of death issues.

I’ve been playing Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time. It’s pretty good, but I’m wondering what the hype was about. Perhaps it’s a product of its time in a way, but overall, it’s still a lot of fun. I keep dying at stupid parts, which is really funny. You can tell the developers really pushed their skills to the limits as all of the levels seem like they’re really well done.

I’ve been streaming a playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima, and I recently got to the DLC. I think the game does so many things right, but I have a few minor gripes. Overall, I really like the atmosphere and the world design. The environments are gorgeous.
