Sony just relanced their streaming service this month with on paper better spec than Microsoft (4K streaming)


Latency is 90% of what matters in these products. Does higher resolution impact the latency?


Except you’re using Indian numbers (that are used in Middle Eastern countries ) (Arabic numbers : 0123456789 Indian numbers : ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩)

But kindle is The cheapest e-ink afaik


Last time I looked the Nook simple touch (6 inch android eink tablet) was about £30 delivered 2nd hand. Love mine. I spent a long time (a few years ago) setting it up with all sorts of android fun, but now I just use it as a epub reader and it fits that niche perfectly for me.


The cheapest e-ink is a $5 2" Waveshare EPD plus an ESP32.


this remind me, our university use google workspace for managing emails for all the student, I'm using the iOS mail app to consult and send emails,

but last year google increased the price (or) reduced the storage so the IT in the university removed the inactive account, they removed my account so when I went back to the university to fix the issue in the console it showed him I didn't connect for more than 2 years (yet I show him the then last week email that the IT department sent it which talk about the new storage limitation


Yes, even HN have some issue


Wow, I just had exactly the same puzzle some hours early, when my Twitter account asked me to verify that I’m not a bot (connected using vpn)


That’s bs, you can’t say console war is over because we lost but still have the most anticipated game (for Bethesda fans at least) exclusive in the console market

I would believe them when I see Forza, Halo and other xbox games on PlayStation


The PS4 outsold Xbox One so badly that Microsoft stopped sharing the numbers.

The best we can tell right now[1], PS5 has outsold One S/X by about the same 2:1 ratio, and the Xbox didn’t spend a year struggling to stay in stock.

From a fan’s perspective, I can certainly see why a “console war” might be measured by how many good titles they have. But these businesses are generally interested in making money.

> …the Xbox didn’t spend a year struggling to stay in stock.

The Xbox Series X was nearly impossible to get at retail for two years, and is still difficult to find unless you pay $100-200 more for a bundle.

It's not at all surprising to me that a console launch is going to do poorly if it can't be purchased without dealing with scalpers.


That’s true. They sold a version that was basically a last generation console and apparently easy to manufacture and keep on shelves, but the X did struggle like the PS5.


While the Xbox Series X, like the PS5, was extremely difficult to obtain due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Series S was relatively easy to purchase. In fact, the Series S outsold the PS5 in Japan during the weeks when PS5 supply was low.


Wait the ratio is only 2:1? From the original article and your first sentence I was expecting Xbox to be on the verge of a death spiral, not getting as much as 50% of PS5 sales.


It’s still a console that sells an enjoyable experience. But the “war” is over if the top competitor is doubling the next top.

I don’t think the end of the “console war” necessarily means going out of business or abandoning hardware altogether.


They're saying they lost the console war because they're trying to get a big acquisition approved. They're trying to sell the story 'see how weak we are... we need this to remain competitive'.


It is a fact that Xbox One/Series has inferior sales to PS4/5 in almost all countries to varying degrees. In fact, other than the CMA in the UK, which has taken issue with cloud gaming, have regulators in other countries approved Microsoft's acquisition of AB on the basis that it would not reduce competition, based on Xbox's share of the console market? The UK should also be of the opinion that there is no problem if it is only consoles. I think Spencer's argument is rather counterproductive as a rebuttal to the CMA, since he is not talking about consoles, but rather about cloud games, mobile games, etc., which are the main areas of focus.


Most expected games inorder

1. TotK 2. Spiderman 2 3. Starfield

And each is exclusive and only Starfield comes on PC. What are you talking about?


TotK = The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

To save anyone else the googling I had to do....


not so expected after all if i can't figure out the acronym


Spiderman 2 will probably come on PC in a few years.


Starfield will come on pc same day as xbox. There's a difference there.


Are you really serious with your comment?


you can play the new Zelda game on PC right now though


Not officially though
