Bitcoin (BTC), ornery and red-eyed, dropped below $115,000 with the grace of a broken tractor, a far cry from that July 14th peak when it strutted at $123,000.

To give you a better understanding, the game Ready or Not has sold over nine million copies on PC by this past April. This number grew after it launched on Steam in December 2021.

It’s possible that positive word of mouth contributed significantly to the success of the console versions, as strong pre-orders suggested even before launch.
In an interview, Zampella stated that EA does not have plans at the moment to release Battlefield 6 on the Nintendo Switch 2. The reason being, the main platforms for the game – PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S – are where the primary audience for the Battlefield series resides. However, he expressed his personal fondness for the Nintendo Switch.
To make a fair comparison, the company has given sales figures for both hardware and software from its earlier home and portable consoles. For instance, the Wii U managed to sell approximately 13.56 million units in total, while software sales reached 103.60 million units. On the other hand, their previous handheld device, the Nintendo 3DS, sold a much higher number of 75.94 million units and had software sales amounting to 392.28 million units.
