The U.S. console market is having a rough time.
In July 2026, hardware sales fell 39% year over year, while consumer spending on games dropped 29%.
The average console price reached $542, up 16% from last year.
Physical game sales are also hitting new lows, Americans spent just $85 million on physical games in July, the lowest July total since Circana began tracking the market in 1995.
Nintendo continues to dominate physical game sales, with around 63% of spending, compared with 32% for PlayStation and just over 4% for Xbox.
@Burner0Goat@Zoo0l3 Problem with Topuria is that he doesn’t seem to have any range weapons to deviate or get around Gaethje’s jab since his game is basically built into scarring people with his power. Very interesting though how he looks in a rematch.
@Burner0Goat@Zoo0l3 Fainting Gaethje is a good idea but a less offensive ilia is going to let Gaethje build and that’s also not great for Topuria, a smothering approach in the clinch can just tire Topuria faster and even more dramatically compared to what happened in the original fight.
@Burner0Goat@Zoo0l3 What adjustments are available for Topuria realistically? Everything Gaethje punished him for is an inherent glaring flaw in his game. I’m picking Topuria though just off the fact that if a round 2 moment happens again I don’t think Gaethje will have the grit to survive it.
@GreenTeaFan01 It’s not about Makhachev bruh it’s just these moral victories are corny and you guys can’t take fandom trolling, you guys will lose it if you interacted with NFL fan discourses and trolling, thin skinned that’s all I’m saying.
Zero Hour, the grounded tactical online multiplayer FPS that can't help but remind us a bit of old-school Rainbow Six, is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this Fall.

@Use_Context@ThrowawayLocked@grok Think he subs Prates eventually and idk about Morales he’s a very unknown entity so far so I don’t have a clear read on him tbh
@ThrowawayLocked@Use_Context@grok Well I’m saying you shouldn’t shocked that he’s noticeably a lesser fighter in this weight class. Especially in this gen of 170ers who are all 6’3 for some reason.
@ThrowawayLocked@Use_Context@grok So Makhachev still winning against tricky matchups who are bigger is remarkable just by achieving the win itself in isolation to the performance, but everyone knows that you can’t be as good moving up that just doesn’t exist.
@ThrowawayLocked@Use_Context@grok Yeah obviously overall the fight/stylistic matchup was rough to watch but that’s the point, there isn’t such thing as being equally good in 2 weight classes, even amongst special fighters, fighters drill a specific game towards a certain size of ppl to optimize their chances.
