For those who need a quick reminder, Chrissy was accused of cyberbullying Courtney, who uses they/them pronouns, when they were 16 years old. Back in 2021, Courtney told the Daily Beast of Chrissy: “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap,’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’”Before long, Chrissy’s since-deleted tweets were unearthed by internet users, prompting the mom-of-four to issue a public apology. “I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel,” she said at the time.

“You’re not the same person that you were before. You change head to toe,” she continued. “And I think there was a minute where I kept really hyper-​fixating on getting back to what I was. And then I had to go through that acceptance of, I’m not going back. So it’s really about how do I want to move forward? Who do I want to be?”

I’d so desperately like to do a graphics card review without the fug of a wider controversy (or cacked-up market conditions), but the RTX 50 series hasn’t been particularly cooperative in that regard, so why should the RTX 5060 be any different? This time, the sadness cloud comes wafting from Nvidia themselves, amid accusations of engineering dodgy RTX 5060 previews and attempting to trade access for greater coverage of its Multi Frame Generation (MFG) capability.

, posted 23 hours ago / 3,964 ViewsThe PlayStation 5 was once again the best-selling console in the US in April 2025 in terms of units sold and dollar sales, according to figures from Circana (formerly The NPD Group). Circana includes the dates for the four-week period of April 6 to May 3.
The Xbox Series X|S came in second place in terms of units sold and dollar sales. The Nintendo Switch came in third place in terms of units sold and dollar sales.
In terms of dollar sales, the PlayStation 5 is down five percent year-on-year, the Xbox Series X|S is up eight percent, and the Nintendo Switch is down 37 percent.
Digital SKUs for April accounted for 66 percent of Xbox Series X|S sales and 48 percent of PlayStation 5 sales.
Hardware revenue had its worst month since July 2020’s $163 million with a total of $186 million.

Overall spending on video games in March decreased three percent year-on-year from $4.19 billion to $4.07 billion. Spending on video game content decreased two percent from 3.82 billion to $3.73 billion, while video game hardware sales decreased eight percent from $203 million to $186 million. Spending on accessories decreased two percent from $170 million to $166 million.

He added, “April video game content spending declined by 2% compared to a year ago, to $3.7B. 18% YoY growth in non-mobile subscription spend and a 16% gain in Console digital premium downloads were offset by declines in other content segments.”
The PlayStation 5 Dual Sense Wireless Controller Midnight Black was the best-selling accessory in terms of units and dollar sales in April.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was the best-selling game in April and instantly became the third best-selling game of 2025. It was the best-selling game on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered sold more units in April 2025 than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sold in its first 15 months following its March 2006 release and generated more dollar sales than the original’s first 14 months.
Xbox releasing two of its bigger releases on PlayStation 5 helped drive sales. Forza Horizon 5 shot up from 42nd to second place, while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle jumped from 118th to sixth place.
Four of the top five, and five of the top seven, best-selling games on PlayStation were published by Microsoft.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the 19th most played game on Xbox in April and 21st on Steam. It was in the top 35 best-sellers for the month and top 25 for PlayStation. Only the physical release was counted towards the units sold charts.
