The US video game industry records growth after years of lull

Aug 31, 2023

The US video game industry has endured a period of under-par growth in the aftermath of the pandemic. It however seems the industry is now turning the curve. The improved growth numbers of the industry have been driven mainly by improved hardware supply and blockbuster new games.

The US video game industry this decade began with a surge in players and investments. This was then disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which limited the influence of video games. This also coincided with the hardware supply constraints experienced in the market. There were also numerous game delays from the software aspect. The supply of new-generation hardware has added a fillip to the release of blockbuster games, coupled with enhanced player engagements. These factors have cascaded to stabilize the US video game industry after several months of yo-yo movement.

It is projected that the US video game market will achieve a 3% growth at the end of 2023. This translates to about $58.3 billion in revenue. New hardware products accounted for $7 billion of the total video game spending of $57 billion in the past 12 months. This translates to a year-on-year growth of 19%. The impressive improvement in hardware sales was driven by a surge in demand for the PlayStation 5 console in the market. The overall spending is marginally higher than the previous year and also 13% better than the pre-pandemic period up to July 2020. It is expected that the PlayStation 5 will remain relevant in the market until 2025.

Apart from PlayStation 5, the older consoles like PS4 and PS3 also had decent performances. Other consoles like Xbox (Series, One, and 360), as well as Switch also performed strongly this year. There is a reported shift in the consumer base for new video game hardware and this is driven by high-income households. Growth has also been recorded in digital full-game downloads which accounted for much of the growth in the segment.

Furthermore, sales in blockbuster new games may have offset declines in mobile spending. Subscription gaming services have also experienced a surge within the last 12 months. The outlook on the US video games market remains bright and we could see further growth in 2024.

JBL new Authentics-branded smart speakers support Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa

Aug 31, 2023

Audio accessories manufacturer JBL has demonstrated its new smart speakers with support for both Alexa and Google Assistant. The new JBL Authentics-branded smart speakers are the first smart speakers from Harman that simultaneously support the two Voice Assistants.

The new JBL retro-style smart speakers were part of the impressive products announced by JBL at IFA 2023 Berlin. The JBL Authentics 200, portable Authentics 300, and Authentics 500 are priced between $329.99 and $699.99. You can use any of the assistants intermittently without any hitches and this is remarkable. It is noted that the latest Sonos speakers do not feature this dual voice assistant support.

The integration of Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa on the JBL Authentics smart speakers is remarkable. The trajectory of Google and Amazon has been one of stern competition. So the new speakers could mark a departure from the previous non-cooperating stance of both tech giants. The integration of the two independent voice assistants is helped by the Multi-Agent Experience (MAX) Toolkit. The smart speakers feature an audio focus software that prevents both assistants from speaking simultaneously. The speakers offer premium functionality including Dolby Atmos, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The implication of dual functionality of Alexa and Google Assistant with the Authentics speakers means easier integration in multi-assistant households. The JBL Authentics smart speakers will arrive in Europe on September 15 and in America on September 17. The new speakers can be purchased via JBL.com while other sales outlets will follow subsequently.

The ninth-generation console wars are in full swing. Both Sony and Microsoft are continuing their efforts to attract gamers with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. However, if you think there’s a clear race so far, you’re mistaken because the competition is about to get even tougher. Nintendo, which broke record after record with its Switch console introduced in 2017, is gearing up to unveil its next-generation handheld device. Moreover, according to the latest information, the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be revealed in 2024 and was secretly showcased at the Gamescom 2023. Here are the details…

Mysterious Nintendo Switch 2 Showcased at Gamescom 2023

The Nintendo Switch has been available for over six years, and its successor is eagerly anticipated by gamers. Although a new version is on the way, we previously reported various leaks about the next-generation Switch, including details about its hardware, pricing, and developer kit. Now, it turns out that Nintendo secretly showcased the next-gen Switch hardware to select media and developers during Gamescom 2023.

Heard some rumors recently that Nintendo maybe showed/maybe discussed the new Switch behind closed doors to select press/devs @ Gamescom.

Full reveal/leaks may be relatively imminent.
— Jez (@JezCorden) August 29, 2023

If the rumors turn out to be true, we could soon hear an official announcement about new Nintendo Switch 2. This fits with previous leaks suggesting that Nintendo’s main partners have already received developer kits and plan to release games in the latter half of 2024. Earlier this year, Nintendo stated in its financial reports that they expect sales for the current Switch model to slow down.

As of June 30, the Switch has sold over 129.5 million units worldwide. A report from the international gaming news site GamesIndustry.biz states that as of July 2023, the Switch has even outsold the Wii in the U.S. In terms of U.S. sales, it’s now less than 1 million units behind the Xbox 360 and fewer than 5 million units behind the PS2.

What to Expect from Nintendo Switch 2

Based on recent rumors, the upcoming Nintendo Switch will be priced at $399.99. The new console is expected to have a custom Nvidia Tegra T239 processor and a 1080p or 720P display. It will also support 24 Gbps HDMI 2.1, 10-bit HDR, and 4K output at 60 frames per second. However, it won’t have a 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of memory and storage, the console is rumored to come with 16 GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage.

From Dependency to Independence: China’s Pursuit of Homegrown HBM Technology

By

Oğuz Çakır

-

Aug 30, 2023

Artificial intelligence technologies are gaining popularity with each passing day. For this reason, tech companies from around the world are working to develop their own AI models and benefit from the popularity of ChatGPT. Additionally, these companies all have something in common: they all purchase the necessary components for developing their AI from US companies like NVIDIA. However, China is preparing to change this situation by producing its own High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Here are the details…

Can China Break the US High Bandwidth Memory Chip Monopoly? The Long Odds and High Stakes

The technology war between China and the United States continues at full speed. Despite their mutual dependency, both countries are striving to outpace each other and maintain superiority. This is also true in the area of artificial intelligence chips. One of the critical components for this technology is high bandwidth memory chips. HBM allow for high-speed data transfer, making them indispensable for sectors that demand rapid processing, such as autonomous vehicles, AI-driven analytics, and more.

China’s top DRAM maker, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), is actively exploring avenues for producing HBM chips. However, experts speculate that it may take up to four years for CXMT to bring HBMs to the market. One of the significant obstacles CXMT faces is the U.S. sanctions on China’s tech companies.

These restrictions have forced Chinese chip makers to resort to less advanced technologies for producing DRAM chips. Despite the challenges, industry insiders suggest that China may be able to produce HBM chips without using cutting-edge lithography technologies such as extreme ultraviolet tools.

The demand for HBM chips is expected to grow by almost 60% in 2023. Breaking into this market would not only lessen China’s dependency on foreign suppliers but also offer a considerable stake in a rapidly growing market. The move would be a significant milestone in China’s broader tech and economic strategies, helping to insulate it from geopolitical tensions and contribute to its goal of becoming a global tech leader.

Garmin has today launched the new Venu 3 and Venu 3S smartwatches with several improvements. Although the smartwatches look similar to Venu 2 and 2S, they bring new health-tracking modes, including one that lets you track your naps. The wearables bring up to a 14-day battery life and AMOLED touchscreens.

The Venu 3S measures 41 mm and the Venu is 45 mm. Garmin is introducing new health and fitness features for the Venu 3 series, including nap detection, sleep coaching, and meditation. These features are designed to help users track their sleep, improve their mental wellness, and recover from workouts.

Garmin is also making the Venu 3 more inclusive by introducing a dedicated wheelchair mode and incorporating new workouts tailored for wheelchair users. The Venu 3 boasts a 1.4-inch AMOLED display with a crisp 454 x 454-pixel resolution, while its counterpart, the Venu 3S, features a slightly smaller 1.2-inch AMOLED display with a native resolution of 390 x 390 pixels.

Notably, Garmin positions its extended battery life as a distinguishing feature. The company claims up to 10 days of battery life for the more compact Venu 3S and an impressive 14 days for the Venu 3. It’s worth noting that these battery life estimates do decrease significantly when GNSS location services are activated. For instance, with all-systems GNSS mode engaged, the Venu 3 is rated for up to 20 hours of use. The Venu 3 series also comes with 8 GB of built-in storage and an NFC chip for making contactless payments.

The Garmin Venu 3 series is available for purchase at a price tag of US$449.99. This is for all finishes and sizes.
