GameStop today reassured investors that the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic does not yet seem to be threatening the year-end launches of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
In a post-earnings conference call with investors, GameStop CEO George Sherman said there was no indication yet that the pandemic would have an impact on the planned fourth-quarter launches of the two consoles, either in when they go on sale or when GameStop takes delivery on them from the console makers.

Nintendo has requested that Sony remove user creations from Dreams that are based on its IP, including its most famous character Mario.
The news emerged from a Dreams player, who goes by the handle 'Piece of Craft' on Twitter, who shared a screenshot showing their model of Mario has been removed from the game.
The image shows a notice that the creation was moderated and removed from the game because it contains copyrighted material.
It's not yet clear whether this is an ongoing, Dreams-wide purge or if this specific user was targeted. GamesIndustry.biz has found there are still Mario-themed Dreams creations available in-game at the time of writing.

PlayStation 5 system architect Mark Cerny today delivered talking in detail about Sony's philosophy in putting together the hardware and some of the specs it believes will be key for developers and players alike.
Cerny began his talk by laying out the three guiding principles Sony followed in designing the PS5: listening to developers, balancing evolution and revolution, and finding new dreams.
On the first principle, Cerny said he makes a point every couple of years of touring roughly two dozen developers and publishers around the world to find out what they want out of new hardware. The most requested feature he heard from them was one of the first Sony revealed when it announced the PS5, a solid-state drive (SSD) for storage.
Cerny talked about the PS4 hard drive, saying "boot times and load times can get pretty grim" on the system, with developers able to load about 1GB of data in 20 seconds. By comparison, the PS5 can load 2GB in .27 seconds.

After cracking the PlayStation Vita wide open, and providing a litany of useful homebrew tools, it appears that TheFlow is looking to move onwards and upwards to the next Sony system: the PlayStation 4. As those in the PS4 scene are likely aware, there is a current webkit exploit for consoles on firmware 6.20, thanks to SpecterDev. According to a post made by TheFlow on Twitter, it appears that he has an exploit in the works for OFW 6.20 as well. Those interested in homebrew are being told to stay on that system version, with a vague comment of, "Also don't update past FW 6.20 if you want a kxploit". What makes this tease even more notable though, is the fact that it isn't just a webkit exploit--the term "kxploit" was specifically mentioned. While a webkit exploit is useful, a kernel exploit would allow modders to do more with a theoretical softmod, and would be the first possible kexploit available since OFW 5.05/5.07. There is very limited information as of just yet, but with a track record like TheFlow's, it'd be wise to stay on 6.20 if you're on it. As of December 2019, the latest PlayStation 4 system software version is 7.02.
Also don‘t update past FW 6.20 if you want a kxploit
— Andy Nguyen (@theflow0) March 11, 2020 UPDATE: Well, it appears he didn't actually have a vulnerability in mind when he made his first Tweet above, but after receiving a PlayStation 4 from a fellow hacker, TheFlow has confirmed he indeed does have a vulnerability for OFW 6.20.

This week saw the 20th anniversary of the launch of the PlayStation 2 in Japan -- the beginning of a remarkable era for console gaming.
The PS2 ultimately sold 155 million units worldwide, a record-breaking total that seems unlikely to be rivalled by any other console platform in the near future. Less commonly cited but even more extraordinary in many ways are the software numbers for the platform. Around 1.5 billion units of PS2 software were sold over the years, and though various estimates float around for the number of software titles released on PS2 -- complicated, I suspect, by different ways of counting SKUs and games with different names in various territories -- Wikipedia currently curates a list of almost 4,500 entries.
The 20th anniversary of the PS2 mostly serves to make those of us who were working in the games business at the time feel very old, of course, but it also serves as an opportunity to reflect on how things have changed since the March of 2000. It was an era when consoles ruled the roost; smartphones weren't even a twinkle in Steve Jobs' eye at that point, and the PC platform was going through one of the doom-and-gloom points in its cycle, as retailers reduced shelf space for PC games and digital distribution -- awaiting the arrival of Steam some years later -- remained an unfulfilled dream.
The PS2 launch and how the console and its market developed remain important things to study from a business perspective Things were simpler in many regards. Video games were all but synonymous with consoles at that point, and there was one business model to rule them all -- packaged games at a largely consistent price point. It's easy to be nostalgic for that simplicity, though it certainly had its downsides; not least the high barriers to entry that effectively prevented anything like today's thriving indie development sector from taking root.
It was also an era when territorial barriers were much higher in the industry. Japan, North America and Europe all had distinct line-ups of software, and even the launch date for the PS2 hardware itself was staggered across territories to an extent that would attract consumer outrage today -- the anniversary of the European launch, as a consequence, isn't for another nine months.
Rather than simply feeling nostalgic (or old), though, I think that the PS2 launch and how the console and its market developed remain important things to study from a business perspective. The world may have been different then, but the core of what it takes to launch a console and convince consumers to invest in it hasn't changed all that much -- and the PS2 remains the single most successful example of that in the industry's history. Moreover, for all that the market may be more complex and diversified today than it was 20 years ago, there are also some notable parallels between the PS2 and its rivals and the situation faced by the upcoming console launches.

As the PlayStation Vita is more or less an open book when it come to modding commercial games, numerous individuals have taken a jab at creating their own mods and now, Reddit user ‘Dasutein‘ has released a PC voices mod for Trails Of Cold Steel I and II.
 The Trails of Cold Steel titles received pretty good reviews when they were released and the series has quite a good fan base! (Image Source)
These pretty popular games, which form part of the JRPG genre, were originally released in 2013 and 2014 respectively in Japan and 2 years later in Europe for the PS3/Vita with later releases for Windows PCs and the PlayStation 4. This means that the PlayStation Vita is the only way to play these titles natively in a portable manner unless you have some form of Windows hybrid device with physical controls and now, Dasutein mod has made the Vita port even better.
From comments left by Dasutein on Reddit, this mod brings about 5000 extra English voice clips to both titles from the PC version. This results in the main character, Rean, speaking in many more scenes as the PC version has more voiced scenes than the PSVita and PS3 ports when it comes to the English version. Some of the scenes that received voices in the PC version can be found in .

Despite cloud saving being a pretty common feature nowadays and even the PSVita supporting it with PS Plus, Nintendo decided to leave the 3DS out of the party and as a result, you need to backup Checkpoint saves manually by reading them from the SDCard.
 Despite the 3DS being from the same generation of the PSVita, Nintendo didn’t give it cloud saving support but the homebrew community is here to fix that! (Image Source)
Now, things on this front have started to change thanks to Kyraminol’s 3DSync despite the console almost 9 years old.
As its name may suggest, 3DSync is a homebrew utility letting you upload Checkpoint save games to Dropbox although it’s in early stages at this point. Using it is pretty simple as it only requires you to:
- Install the CIA or a run a 3DSX fil
- Use this configurator website to generate settings in order to use the Dropbox API
- This generates a ‘3DSync.ini’ file which you should put in /3ds/3DSync/3DSync.ini on your SDCard
- Backup save games with Checkpoint
- Open 3DSync and have your saves uploaded to the cloud!
Its developer currently plans to add support for more platforms including more cloud services, a local PC client and the ability to transfer saves wirelessly between different 3DS consoles.

GrapheneCt has released yet another plugin for the console. This time around, the plugin is called BGFTP and as its name hints, it’s a homebrew utility letting you run an FTP server in background on your hacked PlayStation Vita or PlayStation TV.Through this, you can copy ROMs and other types of files to your console while playing games or using your favourite homebew without having to be stuck in VitaShell all the time. Other than simply being pretty convenient, BGFTP also comes with the ability to send you notifications relating to the status of your file transfers so that you can keep an eye of what’s going on.

PlayStation and Facebook Gaming/Oculus will not be attending this year's Game Developers Conference due to concerns around the novel coronavirus COVID19.
It follows a series of cancelled or postponed video game events, plus console manufacturing disruption, caused by the outbreak. The virus has infected over 75,700 people so far, killing 2,130. The majority of cases have been in China, with just over 1,000 cases reported in other countries (including 15 in the US).
Facebook says that it is still planning to make announcements at GDC around its Oculus business, but will now do that via digital formats with 'video, online Q&As and more'. The firm says it is removing its booth footprint and advising all employees to refrain from travelling to the show.
"Out of concern for the health and safety of our employees, our dev partners, and the GDC community, Facebook will not be attending this year's Game Developer Conference due to the evolving public health risks related to COVID-19," a Facebook company spokesperson said. "We still plan to share the exciting announcements we had planned for the show through videos, online Q&As, and more, and will plan to host GDC partner meetings remotely in the coming weeks.
"We continue to collaborate with UBM, GDC's parent company, and our partners, and thank them for their efforts."

The PlayStation 5 will cost around $450 per unit to manufacture, according to inside sources.
Speaking with Bloomberg, people at Sony with knowledge of the matter said the cost of high-end components -- especially around heat dissipation -- had driven up production costs.
Console manufacturing is typically a narrow margin or loss-leading endeavour; the PS4 launched with a price point of $399 in 2013, and market intelligence firm IHS Markit estimates manufacturing costs were around $381 per unit.
Historically, console launch price has proven a delicate topic, as evidenced by the PS3 introductory price of $599, which Sony exec Shawn Layden later described as a "stark moment of hubris" after the record-breaking success of the PS2.
Microsoft made a similar misstep with the Xbox One, launching the console at $499 in 2013.
As Sony one again enters a new generation after having dominated the previous one, the platform holder finds itself in a delicate position when it comes to pricing -- one source said the Xbox retail price will be a deciding factor.

A recently filed patent from Sony uses machine learning to help players overcome in-game challenges by directing them towards digital storefronts.
Filed through the World Intellectual Property Organization, the "in-game resource surfacing platform" operates by assessing the current in-game state and then making suggestions accordingly.
It will search for and identify in-game resources based on contextual player data, and additional data from the game's community; from there, it will make suggestions for how the player can progress.
Some of these recommendations will point players towards digital storefronts where they can spend money on DLC or microtransactions.
The system also suggests in-game resources, identifying data from other players' successful attempts and presenting relevant solutions.
In the filing, Sony suggested this patent was a response to the growing number of games, and the increased competition to hold a player's attention; it said that appropriate guidance to help players progress in-game has "not kept pace" with this increase.
"There is thus a need and a benefit to develop and integrate an in-game platform to match players with those resources... both within the game in question as well as across a plurality of additional games the player participates in," reads the filing.
"There is moreover, a need and benefit for game publishers and virtual store platforms to be able to identify specific in-game resources that would complement the player in their gameplay and communicate the same to them."
