The 2023-ongoing Transformers and Gi Joe comics are great! But still no snake eyes yet, though they said Snake eyes will be in the new series...

Hopefully your day goes better than mine.
Read from VGC:
Sony CFO Lin Tao claimed that PS5 is “only in the middle” of its lifespan, citing the high number of active users who continue to play on PS4, more than a decade after its launch.
“This year, in year 6 since the launch, PS5 has been growing its installed base, and our view is that, compared to the conventional console life cycles, and looking at the PS4 cycle, it seems to be getting longer and longer.
“Especially with the PS4, which was launched in 2013, it’s been over a decade since then, but there are many active users enjoying the console, and they’re enjoying the other consoles [too].
“And from that perspective, we believe that the PS5 is only in the middle of the journey, and we are really planning to expand it even further.”
As for its next-gen console, Sony would not comment on any plans. “And as for the future launches and successors, we are not in a position to make any comments about that, and that’s all we have,” the CFO said.

Year six? The PS5 was released in 2020, not 2019 so it's 5 years old today actually lol. Honestly I prefer my Series S to my PS5, I can play more Sonic games on my Xbox compared to my PS5.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well.
Gaben's new $500 million superyacht, read from pcgamer:
"the global authority on superyachting," which has Oceanco CEO Marcel Onkenhout waxing lyrical about the glories of the Gabenboat. Leviathan is 111 meters long and the 50th largest yacht in the world. Onkenhout says the diesel-electric vessel is the "most comfortable yacht ever designed" by the company (you'd hope so!) and a feat of custom engineering.
You want cables? This baby's got 280 miles of them, powering everything from an on-board hospital (with live-in nurse), air conditioning, satellites, cavernous garages for tenders (small boats, not chicken) and submarines, and of course entertainment systems.
We're not done, not even close. Leviathan has two gyms, a 250 square meter beach club with a spa and bar, diving platforms, and whatever a "dedicated drinks pantry" is. The cherry on top: a room with 15 of the finest gaming PCs ever assembled.
Newell's own chambers include, per Luxury Launches, a large bathroom finished with parquet flooring and ash cabinetry.
"Working with the team at Oceanco is incredibly enjoyable and a lot of fun; everybody is professional, creative and dynamic," said Newell. "We knew we were asking for unusual things, and Oceanco embraced it with open arms. Not only have we designed a very unusual yacht that leans into Oceanco’s strengths of innovation and design, but the team has also been willing to collaborate with us on evolving the process."

- In the PS5 resale market for China, the mainland version has strict content regulations and very few playable titles, so the unrestricted Japanese PS5 sells at high prices.
- The decision to sell a Japan-only PS5 model began when Sony executives saw that Nintendo was preparing a Japan-only Switch 2. They decided "we should do the same", and the price cut was approved in only four months.
- This price reduction carries significant risk and may mean Sony is selling the console with a substantial loss.
- In the background, while global PS sales are growing, the brand has been losing share in Japan, as a result, there was an internal sentiment within SIE that "it is acceptable if the Japanese market continues to shrink".
- However, the new president Nishino, who is Japanese, feels a strong sense of crisis about the decline of the PlayStation brand in Japan, this sense of urgency shared by Nishino and the Japanese team helped push forward the Japan-focused measures.
