Given they have sold 10m consoles that means 1.6m consoles went to all new players. Which is great to see
84% of Nintendo Switch 2 players owned a Switch, too www.vooks.net/84-of-...

Having played a lot of these games, I can say the quality was all over the place, but there are a few gems in the mix
There are so many games starring #TheSimpsons, but there is only one game that ranks as the best one ever and that is Road Rage... no wait, #HitandRun. Discover why, along with their full gaming history with our latest #Savepoint feature

The Wii U is currently Nintendo's second worst selling home console, as it has sold around 3.2m more consoles than the Switch 2, I expect this to be the last time that it does not hold the crown of worst selling console...
Nintendo Switch 2 tops 10 million sold, Donkey Kong Bananza opens with 3.49 million www.vooks.net/ninten...

The fact that EB Games are locking the control behind their EB World s̶c̶a̶m̶ program is just disgusting, everyone else just has it as an open pre-order
It is earlier than normal, but #ResidentEvilRequiem has a few ways to buy, including an awesome #Switch2 Pro Controller, so get started with the saving with our bargain guide

I really like the colour of the controller, not sure about the newspaper print on it, unless each controller is different (it won't be)

I dragged my feet on this, but I had so many reviews that kept popping up.. but I finally got it finished over the weekend

A new reason not to get Xbox going forward, they are just remaking their old games again.. First it was Gears of War and now its Halo..
#Halo is making another go at releasing the original game, this time remade in 4K and coming next year to #Xbox, #PC and #PS5

Do Xbox actively take lessons on how to say the wrong thing each time? A hybrid device that won't do well at either is just not what people will go for.
Did Microsoft just tease that the next Xbox is a PC and console? Microsoft keeps dropping subtle hints about the next-gen Xbox console. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/803824/...

I do have fun pulling these together each month.. but when a month is this loaded, I question my sanity a little...
The busiest month of the year in gaming has begun, with #GhostofYotei, #Battlefield6, #TheOuterWorlds2 and #DragonQuest being just a few of the massive releases out this month

I love Operation Firestorm, so I am very happy to see it back
We recently got to spend a few more hours with #Battlefield6, specifically on the maps Mirak Valley and Operation Firestorm and both are very good

It is great to see the series is finally back in proper form
It had been a few years since the last mainline game but #Borderlands4 is here and it drops a lot of the forced humour and instead delivers a fantastic story, incredible world and more. Find out more with our #review
