Hands-on with Sony’s DualSense Edge, the $200 PS5 gamepad

/ Battery life will take a hit, but everything else seems just as good — if not better — than the original DualSense.

How do you build a better controller than the best gamepad that’s come along in years? Sony’s strategy with the DualSense Edge — arriving January 26th for $199.99 — was familiarity. Instead of changing how buttons feel or where they’re located, Sony’s designers took an entirely additive approach, making a highly configurable version of its original PS5 controller that does more while feeling practically identical.

The ultimate PS5 controller? For now, perhaps.

Fails of 2022: the Nintendo Switch really showed its age

/ We’ve had five years of great games and sluggish performance. Nintendo’s console is pulling in the opposite direction of its software, which is bigger and better than ever before.

The Nintendo Switch’s lousy performance is as enduring as the console itself. Grainy, stuttery graphics are synonymous with playing games on the 2017 system, which hasn’t gotten a spec upgrade to boost how games look and run. And in the five-plus years since the Switch was released, remarking on disappointing visuals has been a fixture in our reviews of the console’s best games.

Continuing to sell sluggish 2017 hardware is a blunder.
