Small leapReportedly the PS4 Pro made up 14.5m of the PS4’s 117m units shifted, around 12%. Some units would have been double dippers, so I’d say 10% is fair. The PS5 Pro will be about the same percentage as well. Although I don’t think there’s much crossover between Sony’s hardware and software divisions the complaints about the former due to the lack of the latter is to be expected.

Mattel has been forced to apologise over an x-rated gaff on new Wicked dolls. The iconic toymaker has released a series of dolls to tie into the beloved musical’s upcoming blockbuster film adaptation, but eagle eyed customers noticed a rather unfortunate mistake on the packaging. Instead of directing people to the official Wicked movie website, there was actually a link to Wicked.com, which is actually a site for a porn studio’s new offering. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Mattel said: ‘Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold…

Strictly Come Dancing stars Tom Dean and Nadiya Bychkova are said to be comforting each other after their own break-ups. The pair became the first to be eliminated from this year’s competition, but still remain close, according to reports. Olympian Tom, 24, split from his girlfriend Charlotte Phillips, just two weeks into his Strictly experience, it’s claimed, while Nadiya, 35, suffered her own heartbreak after splitting from her boyfriend of two years and fellow pro Kai Widdrington. It’s now been claimed Tom has been a ‘rock’ for Nadiya and they’ve been enjoying lunch dates together, with a source saying: ‘Nadiya…

First ever single, ‘Cardboard Box’, firmly placed them on our playlists with 2022’s EP The Lead securing festivals, TV appearances, and a Brit Award…

It was an eventful Saturday night for Katie Price, who surprised London fans by taking the stage to perform her 2017 track I Got U – and reignited a feud while she was at it. The former glamour model, 46, looked to be in good spirits as she took centre stage at Clapham Grand during a drag competition night, flaunting her impressive singing capabilities. However, it was her reported comments about Emily Atack that had fans talking. Wearing tight camo print leggings, a matching tank top and a cap, the star paired her look with black heeled boots and bounced…

Leonardo DiCaprio was surrounded by his long-time Hollywood pals as he celebrated turning 50 this weekend. The Titanic icon ditched the club on Saturday and hosted an intimate dinner at his Los Angeles home, reportedly catered by celebrity favourite Nobu. Guests included Katy Perry, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, Robin Thicke, Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton, Paris Hilton, and Brad Pitt. Spiderman’s Tobey Maguire, 49, was also said to be in attendance, hardly surprising given how close the duo are — they even spent a summer travelling around Europe together. This fancy dinner was followed by performances from Anderson .Paak and DJ…
