Cyber Monday gaming deals are offering both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on sale for next to nothing. If you haven’t had the chance to pick up either console yet, the remaining hours of Cyber Monday are the time to do so. Best of all, with the hardware having been on the shelves for a while now, these prices won’t drop lower until well into Black Friday 2020, if ever, so there really has never been a better time to add a new console to your gaming arsenal.

PlayStation needs to embrace Nintendo as its next ally
PlayStation Portal and the switch on a table.

As the walls of exclusivity begin to crumble and development costs soar ever higher, PlayStation is looking to every possible market to grow. PCs were the first obvious target since they aren't generally considered a direct competitor to dedicated hardware and give PlayStation a way to entice those players into its own ecosystem. While there are still growing pains to work out there, specifically with the forced PSN accounts even for single-player games like God of War: Ragnarok, PlayStation has more to gain in its budding relationship with Nintendo hardware.

I imagine it was a harder pill to swallow given the history between these two companies, which is why it took so long. We've only seen one example so far, but PlayStation embracing the Switch (and eventual Switch successor) could end up being an even bigger boon to business than PC.
The best of both worlds
While I believe it is somewhat overblown about how similar PlayStation first-party games have been since The Last of Us, we can at least agree that the PS5 has a distinct lack of family-friendly games. After Sackboy: A Big Adventure at the system's launch and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart not long after, first-party titles have been aimed squarely at older teens and adults.

You can snag a rare discount on one of Nintendo’s best strategy games this week
A red Pikmin looks around in Pikmin 4.

Pikmin might be one of the most underrated Nintendo series because the note it tries to hit is so specific. Its charming visual style and cute alien antics need to excite casual Switch players while not turning off strategy game experts, while the actual puzzles in the game need to be challenging enough for advanced players, but solvable for players who just want to pluck little colorful dudes out of the ground and ride an alien dog. It's quite the balancing act and Pikmin 4 absolutely nails it.

If you haven't jumped into the world of Pikmin before, Pikmin 4 is one of the series' strongest entries — it captures the charm of the previous installments while rebalancing the game's sometimes frustrating control scheme and rewriting the story a bit to make it easier to follow for new players. Straight-from-Nintendo titles rarely get solid discounts, and it's not uncommon for them to remain at launch-day prices for years, so it's an absolute joy to see right now.

This 4-year-old PlayStation game is topping the sales charts

Mat Piscatella, executive director of games at consumer tracking firm Circana, posted his monthly analysis of games sales on Monday for May 2024. His findings show that spending on video games and hardware are down 6% compared to May of last year, but overall year-to-date spending is 2% higher. So video game sales are generally stagnant, trending downward.

However, there is some good news here for PlayStation. Ghost of Tsushima, which came out on May 16 for PC, hit the top spot on the top-selling games chart, beating other new releases like Homeworld 3 (at No. 14) and F1 24 (at No. 18). Other Sony games in the top 20 include Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
