Some controversial comments about the PlayStation 5 led to some unfair attacks on legendary game developer David Jaffe – and to the God of War creator defending himself. Users on Neogaf took offense at Jaffe’s comments that Sony would be relegated to “Nintendo circa Gamecube or N64”. Their first attack was on his relevance to the industry, and Jaffe was quick to hit back with some wise words. He said: “Most who talk about such things have yet to be…

With the initial wave of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S preorders done and out of the way, fans are wondering what is next...well at least fans who were not able to snag their preorders yesterday. While things in Europe seemed to work fairly well - outside of a few hiccups with some retailers - things in North America were terrible. Sites crashing, carts not loading, and some sites (Amazon) not even listing their preorder consoles until well after the 11:00 AM time that Xbox greenlight the process.

Xbox Series X sold out in less than 20 minutes on Amazon UK, with other stores also struggling to meet demand. Preorders for Microsoft’s most powerful console began at a little after 8am, instantly crashing the Amazon page when it appeared. Lucky gamers who managed to actually reach the purchase page didn’t have long to buy their device – it was reading “currently unavailable” by 8.20am. Elsewhere, Smyths and Game were both having issues. The two major retailers were the…
