PlayStation 5 sales go up; Sega and Rovio join hands | Kaser Focus

I leave for one week, and everyone gets all acquisition-y on me! Sega and Rovio are apparently linking up, as Sega desires to get on mobile and Rovio desires to get on consoles/PC, or so I hear. It’s not the pair-up I would have predicted, but that makes it even better. I look forward to seeing what happens after these two join together.

In other news, the PlayStation 5 is apparently on track to lap the PS4 in sales figures. Mat Piscatella of Circana noted on Twitter that, “PlayStation 5 hardware unit sales have now surpassed those of PlayStation 4 on a time-aligned basis (29 months in market).” While that doesn’t surprise me, it’s gratifying to know that gamers can get their hands on them en masse after supplies being short for so long. Also, Resident Evil 4 Remake sold like candy, which I find even more gratifying.
