PlayStation 5 Shortage Likely to Get Worse in 2022
If you thought buying a PlayStation 5 had been difficult up until now, the situation would only appear to be getting worse going into 2022. According to Bloomberg, Sony has downgraded its forecasted production by one million units for the fiscal year, due “component and logistics constraints.” Sony had predicted manufacturing 16 million units of its fastest-selling games console by March, but has now cut that number to 15 million. The global shortage of semi-conductors has prompted the situation, with Sony’s Chief Financial Officer, Hiroki Totoki, stating in an investor conference call that any resurgence of COVID-19 would further impact the company’s supply of components. Back in July, the Playstation 5 became the fastest-selling Sony console of all time, hitting 10 million units in recor...
SecretLab’s April Fool’s Gaming Chair For Pets Becomes a Reality as Titan XXS
What started as an April Fool’s joke has now become a reality with SecretLab dropping a scaled down version of its TITAN gaming chair for pets or children. SecretLab first “teased” the TITAN XXS for pets as an April Fool’s joke but was quickly deluged with requests to add the pet-orientated product to its product offering from customers offering up photos of their pets taking over their chairs. SecretLab has now done so, producing the 1:2 scale version of the popular gaming chair as an option for pets or children in three different colors. The black and red Stealth option is covered in leatherette while Plush Pink and Frost Blue is upholstered in Softweave Plus fabric. The TITAN XXS has undergone the small testing and certification as the regular sized version and comes with the 5-year- wa...

HHW Gaming Review: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy’ Is A Flarkin’ Good Time
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Square Enix / Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Like the film of the same name, we hit the start button on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy with some very reasonable expectations but walked away, mightily impressed. Embracing The MCU A Little Bit Source: Square Enix / Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy When trailers for Eidos-Montreal’s Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy arrived, gamers, including us, were not blown away by what was shown. We immediately began thinking we were in for a second helping of mediocrity we experienced after playing Crystal Dynamic’s Marvel’s Avengers. We couldn’t help but think we are about to get another game based on a popular Marvel property that doesn’t accurately capture the feeling the Marvel Cinematic Universe films give its ...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Crystal Dynamics / Marvel’s Avengers: Spider-Man With Great Power Hero Event Finally, the web-slinger arrives in Crystal Dynamic’s Marvel’s Avengers. We knew for a long time that Spider-Man was coming to Marvel’s Avengers as a PlayStation exclusive, but we had no idea exactly how he would translate into the game. That was until Thursday (Nov.11) when IGN exclusively revealed the trailer for Spider-Man’s upcoming “Hero Event” titled With Great Power. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t show any gameplay, but we get a pretty decent idea of how Spider-Man will play in Crystal Dyanmic’s take on the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Like other games revolving around the Spidey, his complete acrobatic skill set will be available, including web-slinging and wall climbing...
