Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

Japanese Sony hardware sales dip as pre-orders for Hatsune and Persona head up

Most of Japan is on holiday for Golden Week, so sales did some funny things with huge ups and downs, but no new releases, so not much action. After last week's Vita and PSP leaps, both dipped a bit, which isn't great news.

Hardware:

3DS 91,868
PS3 23,478
PSP 20,033
Wii 15,789
Vita 10,583

Looking further ahead, and taking a look at Amazon Japan, both Hatsune Miku and Persona 4 Golden are both high in the sales charts, several months before their release, suggesting that the big names are doing a good job of stirring up some interest in the Vita.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
