With sales this good, your pile of shame's about to become a colossal pillar of discounts.

Let’s cut straight to the gems lighting up the digital shelves this week. It's the usual case of grab 'em before they're goneski.
This Day in Gaming ?
In retro news, today's a day of sombre remembrance for two consoles. 28 years ago, we witnessed the discontinuance of Sega's Game Gear, a battery-guzzling beast that sold 10.62M units and I fondly remember for its Sonic games and extravagant TV Tuner attachment. It's also been 23 years since we bade farewell to the Nintendo 64, which delivered phenomenal four-player action, groundbreaking 3D AAAs, and a highscore of 32.93M units sold. I am not shedding a sentimental tear over it. That's just...Control Stick dust in my eye.
