TryingSomethingNew@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple acquires RAC7, its first-ever video game studioEnglish2·29 days agoSony has sold approximately 150 million PS4/5. Assuming they’re ALL being played, and that Microsoft sold roughly the same number, that means that if roughly one in every five iPhone owners play games, there are equal numbers.
But A lot of it, I’m sure, comes down to what everybody considers gamers/games. Balatro? Unquestionably a game, does it count for your statistics? I don’t know. From my phone on a brief search, the total market was somewhere around 180 billion last year, and $90 billion of that was mobile, and Sony made $17.5 billion in services, though I’m not sure if that includes the actual consoles.

They just memorize patterns really well.English10·30 days agoNot when large swaths of people are being told to use it everyday. Upper management has bought in on it.
Interesting concept, here’s hoping. They could definitely take a bite out of the progressive market, especially for people who buy a pair of dedicated reading glasses. Comes down to how much lenses cost, how much/many options the frames come with… I suspect this will be a super niche thing, but on board for it

TryingSomethingNew@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own appEnglish82·2 months agoNo, that’s quite literally the reason that Apple is so big. They successfully made MP3’s easy to get from CD, add to device and play. , I owned an early MP3 player, and ripping mp3s from CD and loading sucked compared to the first iPod/iTunes. Of course, over time it got better on the PC side, but it was trivial to teach somebody like your parents how to get their music on an iPod.
It’s why Slashdot still gets mocked for their iPod review. While there were other MP3 players that had more storage or battery life, the cohesiveness of iPod/iTunes was unmatched, and that’s why few remember the nomad but every one remembers the iPod

In my experience the publisher Manning Books earns their cut. They’ve done interesting books, allow early access and update books online, provide digital copies if you buy the physical, etc.
