Circana: Thinking AheadWhile Circana (formerly NPD) remains the gaming industry’s best snapshot of what’s moving and shaking up both physical and digital retail shelves across the country, it’s time for us to move on. Going forward, The State of Gaming will no longer report on Circana’s monthly sales estimates – unless there are specific newsworthy (i.e. sales related) items from them.
Everything ElseBut there’s more! Apple will officially allow retro game emulators on the App Store! The Atari 400 Mini is coming (surely,Jeff Minter is excited)! Will there be a PlayStation 5 Pro? Do we even need one? The Fallout TV series is almost here! No DLC for Baldur’s Gate 3, says its developers. IsGodzilla x Kong: The New Empirethe best videogame movie that’s not based on a videogame?
