Nintendo's mega-popular Switch handheld-and-console duo will outsell Sony's PlayStation 4 in 2019, multiple analysts predict.

The PlayStation 4 will hit 100 million units sold this year, but the system's lifecycle is ramping down to make way for the ultra-powerful next-gen PS5. Nintendo is in a unique position to capitalize on this wind-down throughout 2019 and most of 2020. The company has already dominated the dedicated handheld gaming market for two generations in a row, first with the 3DS, now with the Switch and the portable-only Switch Lite, and this new hardware tag-team is expected to conquer 2019.

Analyst firm DFC Intelligence expects the Switch to make up 45% of the Big Three's console sales, with the PS4 trailing close behind at 39%. This culminates in roughly 17 million Switch sales throughout calendar 2019, which is just one million units over Sony's sales forecast of 16 million PS4s. Conversely, Nintendo forecasts 17 million total sales throughout the fiscal year itself up to March 31, 2020.

Respawn's new action-adventure Star Wars game is punctuated with huge boss fights straight out of Dark Souls.

Back in 2016, Respawn said their third-person action Star Wars game would deliver "larger than life action," and the latest game trailer made good on this promise.

Jedi: Fallen Order will put players through all sorts of trials, including facing off against titanic hulking beasts and rushing through cinematic chaos right out of a Star Wars movie. Perhaps the most captivating part is we won't just be fighting Sith and stormtroopers; the very flora and fauna are out to get you. The game is built around exploration and Uncharted-like traversal with slight Metroidvania elements, with varying planets that feature some giant monsters to battle.

Intel will soon be launching its new Core i9-9900KS offering 8C/16T with all-core 5GHz boost, but we don't have a firm price -- the only indicator to price we have is a new listing that sees it dropping in at around $600.

According to a new listing with Australian e-tailer Mwave, which had it listed for AUD$899 which converts to around $605 (remember Australia has a 10% GST so this price will vary).

Don't go thinking this is some next-gen CPU at all, as it is a binned 9900K that offers a higher base CPU clock (4GHz versus 3.6GHz) and all-core Turbo at 5GHz (versus 4.7GHz). The single-core boost is identical to the 9900K, with the new 9900KS rolling out with 5GHz single-core boost.

Correction: OBS and Streamlabs OBS are different. Many people reached out to me about this mistake, I'm sorry and the article below has been amended. Streamlabs is built on top of the foundation of OBS, but is not OBS.

Logitech has just announced that it has acquired Streamlabs OBS, used by millions of gamers and professionals for live streaming.

Streamlabs OBS has grown considerably over the years becoming a key tool for streamers so they can get their game stream blasted out to the likes of Twitch, Mixer, Facebook or YouTube. OBS has been an instrumental part in growing big streamers, and will be an important acquisition for Logitech.

AMD must be enjoying all of these custom Navi graphics cards in the wild, with some truly great custom Radeon RX 5700 series cards on the market now from the likes of MSI, SAPPHIRE, ASRock, XFX, ASUS, and especially PowerColor.

PowerColor is now teasing what should be the very best Radeon RX 5700 XT with its new custom "Liquid Devil" which if you guessed from the name, should be a water-cooled Navi. In the image below you can see an EK logo on the card, so it seems PowerColor is using a high-end EK WaterBlocks cooler on the new RX 5700 XT Liquid Devil.

EK's cooling solution on the PowerColor RX 5700 XT Liquid Devil will connect into an existing watercooling loop, so this is for enthusiasts only I'm afraid. We should expect the lower temperatures on any custom RX 5700 XT card, and another few percent performance but don't expect this to be 10-15% faster because it's watercooled.

Alright... it looks like we should ALL be paying attention to Microsoft's new Flight Simulator game, something that I had a close eye on from its first footage but in its new footage it just looks mind blowing. Check out the latest Insider Update video:

Seriously, in some of those shots in that video there is no way you'd be able to tell between real life and Flight Simulator. Some of those shots over the rain forests, the cities (that looked insane) and then the flowing water of the ocean... absolutely breathtaking.

I want to see how much detail is retained the closer you go, though. It might look good from the sky but I'm sure when you get lower the detail would go down, it surely can't match the level set from what we've seen here. But... it is a flight simulator, so most of your time playing the game will be, you know, flying high in the sky looking at those amazing graphics from the clouds.

The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is only a few weeks from us and as developers Infinity Ward seem to be on the home stretch, the community on subreddit doesn't seem to be making it any easier on them.

Infinity Ward's Studio Art Director, Joel Emslie has taken to the Call of Duty subreddit to address the community regarding their hateful comments of the recent announcements that occured this week. Many of the Call of Duty fans were up in arms about Activision and PlayStation announcing that the survival mode will be exclusive to PS4 for one year. Emslie's post is titled "A developer POV" and asks the community to really think about what they are posting before they post it.

"Take a second and think about who on the production side comes to this sub and reads through the comments, IW Dev. We are a mixed bag of nerds, jocks, and everything in between. Its amazing but we all get along and come together every day to build something that we believe in. We've dedicated our careers to being the best at what we do and to making the best possible game we can make." Emslie also states that everyone's feedback regarding the recent drama has not gone unheard and that actually "all of it" has been taken on board. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare releases on September 12th, the full response is located in the entirety of this article.

Collider has reported that writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Morbius) to write a brand new Spider-Man spin-off movie titled "Madame Web".

For those who don't know who Madame Web is, here is a quick history lesson on the character. Writers Denny O'Neil and artist John Romita Jr introduced Madame Web to the world in The Amazing Spider-Man #210 back in 1980. Madame Web's actual name is Cassandra Webb and she is usually drawn as a blind women who is suffering from a neuromuscular disease that makes it almost impossible for her to move or breathe. Due to this disease she is hooked up to a elaborate life-support system which resembles a web. Madame Web is a clairvoyant and assists Spider-Man in finding kidnapped victims.

At this point there is no solid 'title' for the movie, no director, no official announcement, no actors casted or producers. Collider does say that Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are likely candidates for being producers, as they produced Venom and Morbius. As more information is released about Madame Web, I will be sure to update you.

Astrophysicists out of the College of Charleston have issued a new paper that has been published in The Astrophysical Journal suggesting something can move faster than the speed of light.

One of the core principles of physics is Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which states that no object can move faster than the speed of light. This is because when an object is moved it requires energy, and as an object is moved faster and faster its mass grows becoming 'heavier' requiring more energy. So when an object reaches close to the speed of light (299792458 meters per second) its mass is almost infinite making it impossible to surpass this speed.

Jon Hakkila and Robert Nemiroff aren't going against Einstein's established ruling, but what they have found is that gamma rays that are blasting out of a blazar (an active galactic nucleus with a relativistic jet. Above image) surpass the speed of light in surrounding gas clouds. This would make these gamma-ray jets superluminal. It was found that this isn't the case in a vacuum, meaning that Einstein's theory still holds solid cosmological ground. Here is what Hakkila said "Standard gamma-ray burst models have neglected time-reversible light curve properties. Superluminal jet motion accounts for these properties while retaining a great many standard model features."

Overwatch is set to go through one of its biggest changes ever, with developer Blizzard Entertainment set to launch an exciting new "remaster" update to the game.

The new v1.41 patch for Overwatch is currently in the Public Test Realm (PTR) weighing in at around 8GB, which is one of the largest updates Overwatch has ever received. Blizzard has tweaked (both in buffing, and nerfing) a huge slate of heroes that will shake up the entire meta of the game.

Here's what you can expect:

Microsoft has teamed with Google to bring Google Assistant to the Xbox family of consoles, so now you can just sit on your couch and yell 'Hey Google' to get things done on your console.

You can now use Google Assistant to turn your Xbox on and off, start up an app or resume paused games, as well as take screenshots. It's virtually identical to the Xbox skill available for Alexa, but now it's all-Google baby.

Funnily enough, Microsoft supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant -- culling Cortana from the Xbox in its last update. Microsoft itself explained that it was "moving away from on-console experiences to cloud-based assistant experiences".

Nugget Noggin is a YouTuber that dives to the bottom of rivers to find lost, sunken treasure -- where his latest expedition involved finding an iPhone inside of a trashed waterproof case... and it still worked! Check out the video below:

Michael Bennett is "Nugget Noggin" who has videos on him diving into various rivers to find all sorts of goods, but his latest adventure to the bottom of the Edisto River in South Carolina saw him discovering a sunken iPhone, retrieving it, and returning it to its rightful owner.

Bennett was interviewed by local news outlet WDAM 7 where he said: "I came across something that looked kind of like a rope maybe attached to car keys, and when I pulled it up, I seen a phone inside of a waterproof case and I'm like, 'No way, this is unbelievable!"

It wasn't too long ago the world was shocked to hear about the announcement of The Matrix 4, but now mega star Keanu Reeves has chimed in saying he's read the script.

Reeves said that The Matrix 4 will start shooting in 2020, and during a special screening of Semper Fi (a movie made by his sister) he said he was "absolutely" excited about Neo's new adventures. He said in regards to the story for The Matrix 4 that "it's very ambitious, as it should be!".

The Matrix 4 is expected for a 2020 release with the Wachowski bros (now sisters) continuing to direct their franchise, while Reeves will be in John Wick 4 which is going to drop in 2021. Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell have co-written The Matrix 4 with the Wachowski's.

**DISCLAIMER: this is a prototype and does not reflect an actual product. This is a technology demonstration and eventual product specs will differ.**

That's right friends, we have a pair of TweakTown boots on the ground in Seoul Korea. Today at Intel Memory and Storage Day, Intel showed something that can only be described as HOLY S*&% fast.

Intel had a demo rig, with a prototype version of new OPTANE DC Persistent Memory modules. This was not just for show as the modules had plenty of GO! Now we have to temper our expectations for this as this is purely a tech capabilities demo which is why we added the above disclaimer. With that out of the way, I will mirror the words of our soldier on-site Mr. Jon Coulter who passed this info along and observed the demo first hand.

There are people out there that get triggered (no, really) when their social media posts don't get as many likes as they wanted, or less likes than someone else. Facebook has a solution -- remove all Likes.

Starting tomorrow in Australia, Facebook will hide Like counts on posts. We knew Facebook was working on this a little while ago, but now we'ere here and while the Likes will be hidden from the public the author can still see how many people Liked their posts.

Instagram is also testing something similar by hiding its Likes, and remember Instagram is owned by Facebook so we're seeing similar internal changes being made across both platforms. The end goal here from Facebook is they want you to not feel like you can't express yourself, and not have people judge posts by the stories you share, or the amount of Likes there are.

NVIDIA has just announced its new RTX Broadcast Engine, a new gaming-focused feature that taps the Tensor Cores available on Turing GPUs inside of the GeForce RTX series of graphics cards.

RTX BRoadcast Engine will be capable of live filters, greenscreening, and other game-focused features for Twitch streamers. NVIDIA is doing some impressive stuff here as it can fully remove the background from your stream with RTX Greenscreen, replacing whatever is behind you with gameplay, or something else entirely.

NVIDIA explains in a press release: "The RTX Greenscreen AI model understands which part of an image is human and which is background, so gamers get the benefits of a greenscreen without needing to buy one".

Today's Outbreak Day, and Naughty Dog celebrates by discussing tons of info on The Last of Us Part II.

The Last of Us Part II is Naughty Dog's most ambitious game, and coming from the team that made Uncharted 4, that's saying a lot. The sequel will be the largest title the studio has ever made (it'll span two Blu-ray discs on PS4) and makes some big changes to core gameplay, including going 100% singleplayer. "It's definitely the most ambitious in scope game that we've ever made," said co-game director Anthony Newman.

Simple things like traversal have been amped up with more emphasis on verticality, climbing, and the overall action-adventure exploration avenues set forth by Uncharted. Ellie is more agile, fluid, and stealthy in the sequel: she can jump, climb, long jump across wide spaces, dodge-roll, go prone in high grass, and stealthily sneak. Naughty Dog also added a nifty "squeeze through" feature that lets you slide through tight spaces.

Nintendo's new Mario Kart mobile game is immensely popular on iOS and Android, amassing 20 million downloads in its first day.

Mario Kart Tour is Nintendo's quickest-downloaded mobile game of all time, eclipsing Super Mario Run by over 13 million downloads. Nintendo's new free-to-play racer also sped out of the gate with over $1 million in revenues in the first 24 hours, proving its lootbox monetization model is working. Comparatively, Nintendo's breadwinner mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes raked in a considerable $4.3 million in its first day.

There's a fly in the ointment, though: Nintendo packed in a controversial paid subscription within the free-to-play Mario Kart game. Dubbed the Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass, this $4.99 a month subscription gives extra bonuses like cosmetics and an exclusive 200cc mode. This aggressive over-monetization could harm the overall sticking rate of paid gamers, at least in North America.
