In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore gaming devices that were adopted by the US military including Xbox 360 controllers that were used instead of an outdated periscope control system and PS3s that were combined to create a very efficient supercomputer.
The handheld market is heating up with Sony looking to potentially make a splash in the largely Steam Deck and Switch dominated space. If this device does make it to market, will it run the entire PS5 collection? Or will it have its own library like the PSP and PS Vita?
Xbox avatars are being sunset, a feature that used to have a lot of prominence in the Xbox 360 era, but is now largely forgotten. Avatars were re-released after their original implementation on the Xbox 360 and have never quite been the same. Honestly we kept forgetting they even existed so they will not be missed.
When you use the PS app you're able to purchase games from the PS Store, but this is not the case on the Xbox app. According to Sarah Bond, this is because Microsoft is waiting for the courts to make a final decision in the "Google Play is an illegal monopoly" case. This is yet another bit added to the saga that Epic began when it took on Apple's and Google's ~30% cut of their app store revenues.
