    Circana says the US console hardware market is in its most precarious position since the early 80s

    Market research firm Circana says the US console hardware market is in its most precarious position "since the early 80s." Year-to-date figures through August show Xbox hardware unit sales down 33% year on year and PlayStation down 25%, an all-time low for Xbox and PlayStation's lowest since 2013. Circana attributes the US price increases mainly to component shortages caused by AI data centers, with the average Xbox console selling for $529 in 2026 through August, 26% higher than a year ago, and PlayStation at $597, 20% higher.

    EU consumer authorities launch coordinated action against 10 game companies over virtual currency practices

    European consumer protection authorities announced a series of coordinated actions against 10 video game companies, accusing them of dark patterns that put minors and players at risk of gaming addiction. The action, coordinated by the European Commission, focuses on practices such as premium in-game currencies that obscure real-world spending, selling virtual currency in set quantities that force overspending, and insufficient parental controls. The article cites Destiny 2's Silver bundles of 500, 1,000 and 1,500 units against item prices of 600 to 1,500 Silver, and notes Fortnite will let players buy the exact amount of V-Bucks they need starting October 14, a change also coming to Rocket League and Fall Guys but not PlayStation for now.
