Reports soon surfaced, suggesting that PlayStation was excluding Sony’s home turf. Reports also indicated that Japan was being sidelined from the new console’s promotional strategies, and more interest was being placed on the West. As a result, PlayStation 5 was also slated as the worst-selling console in the history of its country of origin. Jim Ryan, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO, tried to end such rumors, but the news spread like wildfire....

Sony did object, but while the matter is in court a federal judge is allowing consumers to buy the $49 software package. As to whether the program works, the answer is yes, surprisingly well. NEWSWEEK tested the Virtual Game Station on a spanking-new 400MHz G3, and our game testers were delighted that once the program was installed (a process requiring a mere two mouseclicks), simply inserting a PlayStation disc into the CD-ROM drive would boot up the game–just as if the Mac were a Sony unit....

Sancho signed his first senior professional contract with Dortmund in 2017 after the German club lured him from Manchester City for a fee of £8 million. Ever since his move to Germany, he has got the playing time he was craving for and has been the reason for other English talents’ move to the Bundesliga. Reiss Nelson is enjoying his loan spell at Hoffenheim from Arsenal while Callum Hudson-Odoi is the latest youngster who is eyeing a move to the Bundesliga....

At the forefront, of course, were a loud-mouthed, boisterous off-spinner and one of the best batsmen of that generation. Harbhajan Singh and Ricky Ponting have always been at loggerheads whenever India has taken on the mighty Australians, and more often than not, the Punjabi spinner has emerged triumphant. The two gave us (the cricket fans) the bitterest of rivalries at a time when India was slowly establishing itself as one of the top cricketing nations....

After TPC Sawgrass allowed the lowest second-round scoring average in tournament history Friday, Saturday saw the second-highest third-round average as players struggled with the quick greens and gusty winds. MORE: PGA Tour winners of the 2015-16 season Yet, somehow, Ken Duke, who started the day on the back nine at 3-under, shot an unrivaled 7-under 65, including five consecutive birdies on the front nine. Duke is at 10-under, tied for second with Hideki Matsuyama, four shots behind leader Jason Day....

Earlier this week, at a roundtable interview hosted at Valve’s head studio, Valve founder Gabe Newell stated that, since the game’s release a year ago, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had grown to become the third highest grossing game on Steam since the digital distribution platform was first created. Newell attributed the game’s success in part to Valve’s ever-expanding hardware and technology research, which he described as an “investment in the future.” He went on further to state that it is this research, and developers’ access to it, that allowed PUBG to become such a successful title in the short space of time that it did....

Greenberg took to Twitter to confirm that the Miramar desert map would be coming to the Xbox One version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in May. Greenberg didn’t provide an exact date in May, but one should come within the next few weeks. In the meantime, some fans may be wondering if the release of the Miramar map will also signal the game’s exit from early access. After all, when the PC version of PUBG received the Miramar desert map back in December, it also marked the game’s official launch....

As has become customary with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC fighters, the game’s director, Masahiro Sakurai, spent some time today showcasing Sephiroth, showing off the character’s moves, accompanying music tracks, and a new stage. While Sakurai typically opts to showcase DLC fighters by using them against different CPU opponents, he decided to show off Sephiroth in the game’s Classic Mode this time, which gets a special twist when playing as the new character....

The physicist posing this hypothesis is Melvin Vopson, who lectures at the University of Portsmouth in England. He points to evidence that 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last 10 years alone. From there, he assumes a growth of 25 percent data increase per year, which makes sense, considering how much data we can move through things like Google Stadia. Using these numbers, he shows that the world could be mostly data by the year 2245....

Pierce suffered the injury in the first half of the Nets' Friday loss to the Houston Rockets. So far this season, Pierce is averaging 12.4 points and 4.8 rebounds, despite taking a far less aggressive approach on offense than he has in the past. Pierce isn't the first significant Nets player to go down. A number of injuries have hurt the Nets' chances of gaining chemistry within a new collection of stars....

Cleveland dropped to 1-10 to start the season when they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 95-86 on Wednesday. Pierce, the former Boston Celtics star who is now an NBA analyst for ESPN, said he believes the Cavaliers would fall to a college team if they played a game. “Y’all see that Duke game?” Pierce asked during a segment on NBA After the Buzzer. “They could beat Cleveland. You heard it here first....

A Delta spokesperson reportedly said the unnamed off-duty flight attendant hijacked the plane’s public address system to speak to passengers about their oxygen masks during Flight 1730, which prompted a dramatic tussle with passengers. “This is the captain speaking. We’d like all strong males to come to the front of the aircraft to handle a problem passenger,” the pilot told passengers mid-air, according to NBC Los Angeles. A 38-second video shared to Twitter shows several male passengers wrestling with the man at the front of the plane....

A breach in the reservoir, which previously operated as a phosphate processing plant, forced hundreds of evacuations over the weekend as officials worked to prevent a full-scale deluge. Public safety representatives expanded a mandatory evacuation order for Manatee County residents on Saturday, when an unmitigated breach could have caused almost 400 million gallons of waste water to inundate the land surrounding Piney Point. With emergency crews endeavoring to transfer water from the breached reservoir into Tampa Bay, the number fell to about 340 million gallons on Sunday....

Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for the area, and officials warned residents in the evacuation zone that they should leave their homes because of an “imminent uncontrolled release of wastewater.” Evacuation orders were expanded on Saturday and about 316 households are within the full evacuation area, according to the Manatee County Public Safety Department. “Thankfully the evacuation area does not include any major residential areas, and the homes within Artisan Lakes are not in the evacuation area,” Public Safety Director Jacob Saur said in a statement....
