According to a Yomiuri Shimbun poll, 69% in Japan approve of having an empress again. Japan has had several empresses in its history, but matriarchal succession was banned during the virulently anti-feminist Meiji period at the end of the shogunate.

World Series Baseball II
NFL 97
Cyber Speedway
Daytona usa CCE with the cyber speedway manual in it.

Microsoft just quietly taking its ball and going home after 24 years is really surprising. How many Series units did it even sell last month? Fewer than 7-digits? This will continue to hurt game industry jobs and console pricing.
In the US, PlayStation 5 accounted for 47% of total Black Friday week hardware unit sales, leading the market.
Nintendo Switch 2 ranked 2nd (24%), with the NEX Playground 3rd (14%).

PS5 had a huge Black Friday week in the UK. It accounted for 62% of all console sales (Xbox had 10%, Switch 2 had 23%). The PS5 Pro had its best week since launch.
Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC 26 came out top in Europe.
