Following hardware price hikes across Xbox and Valve’s new Steam Machine, Sony Interactive executives have hinted that their upcoming console may depart from the industry’s traditional "loss leader" strategy. In a recent Q&A, the company stated it does not intend to sell hardware at "significant losses," while also dropping major hints that its next system could feature portable capabilities similar to the Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, we look at the legendary indie title The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, which just set a new record for concurrent users on Steam following a massive 90% discount in the platform’s Summer Sale, marking a historic win for a critical darling that has famously been snubbed by major awards for over a decade.
