This Week In Gaming (April 29)
NPD Report came out and the single biggest takeaway in my mind is that Xbox is the top selling console by dollars, which is great to see Xbox once again doing great after their dedication. The Nintendo Switch is still the best selling console of 2022 by units.
Activision Blizzard announced their earnings report and the missed projections with 1.77 billion in the quarter which is down almost 35% from 2021 but they did officially announce the next call of duty will be Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to the best selling cod ever.
Microsoft announced Xbox + Bethesda Games Showcase will be once again be happening this year around when E3 used to take place. This year the showcase will take place on June 12.
Rogue Legacy 2, the sequel to the 2013 genre reinvigorator, came out of early access and into 1.0 release on Xbox and PC and the reviews are great. Average currently sits around 91 and as we are about halfway through it, that scores seems very accurate.
Switch Sports, the sequel to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort finally made a return and even though it only sits around 74 review average, most people say it captures the magic of the original. No one played Wii Sports all the time, but it was great when friends and family would come over and this fills that gap.
