PS2 sold 160 million units

Imagem
 The PlayStation 2 is to date Sony's biggest success and the best-selling console of all time. In the last official update we had from the company, it was stated that the hardware had passed the 155 million units sold mark. Now, during the newest episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast, which featured a special appearance from Jim Ryan himself, we have new data. During the program, the former head of PlayStation updated the numbers, stating that the console reached 160 million units sold. The number of 155 million was from March 2012, with the console having stopped being manufactured in January 2013. There may possibly no longer be a significant sales update, considering the lack of hardware availability. The hardware that came closest to the PS2 was the Nintendo DS portable, which reached 154 million units. The Nintendo Switch, meanwhile, is the third best-selling in history, currently at 139 million units. As this Nintendo hybrid is still active, it remains to be seen whethe...

Twitch ends the trend of broadcasting games directly from the ass

Imagem
  Although it is a community for all ages focused on gamers, part of Twitch ended up creating a tendency to bring more sensual content. However, it seems that some people took this too far. Recently a streamer ended up standing out for deciding to play Fortnite using her own butt as a screen. Wearing green shorts, she used her own body parts as a way for players to watch the game. With the trend catching on, Twitch itself had to intervene, and it seems that it will no longer allow this type of action. According to the platform, Twitch's “content is always evolving,” so it needs to regularly update the rules to deal with “emerging behaviors.” Twitch recently updated its rules of conduct, which states that lives focused on private parts will no longer be allowed. "Content that focuses on intimate parts of the clothed body, such as the buttocks, groin or breasts, for long periods of time", is cited as one of the prohibited points in the rules. Over the past year, Twitch has ...

Among the leaks, the supposed specifications of the console were released, which according to IGN, are real. So far, Sony has not confirmed whether it intends to launch the PS5 Pro, but it seems that even before this supposed console was launched, several studios stated that the PS5 Pro should not exist. According to new information shared by GamesIndustry's Christopher Dring, he claims that during his conversations at GDC 2024, several studios feel that the PS5 Pro is unnecessary and many of them feel that they are not even taking full advantage of the potential of the standard PS5.

Christopher Dring states that during conversations with developers, the real...
