    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.

    This should be game streaming's moment. It's not | Opinion

    Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball debunked a report that GTA 6 streaming rights would be Xbox-exclusive, saying the game will not be streamed exclusively or to PC. With PS5 and Xbox Series X prices hiked and console shortages and scalper markups already reported more than a month before launch, GTA 6 should be a breakthrough moment for game streaming, but there is little interest. Microsoft recently placed strict caps on streaming usage for Game Pass subscribers, and the muted response showed how few consumers cared.

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

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.
