Nex Playground - Dark Jaguar - 23rd December 2025
Console sales aren't doing so well, but one breakout hit was something called the Nex Playground, which honestly has a very "old Nintendo" feel to it.
It's definitely not a graphical powerhouse, and it's basically a Kinect, but somehow it really took off. Let's not forget that for a certain subset of the casual gaming public, the Kinect was actually very popular for a while. It just wasn't moving huge numbers. It looks like Nex is tapping into that forgotten market with something that ONLY does that at an affordable price point, and they came in and outsold the XBox Series, by a pretty safe margin. I still can't imagine intentionally playing a 2D platformer with gestures, but hey, they found their niche.
