News - Nintendo Switch Closing In On PS2's Sales Record

Nintendo's latest earnings report has arrived, and while Switch sales were down dramatically, the console is now even closer to reaching the PS2's high watermark of an estimated 155 million units sold. Through the quarter that ended on June 30, Switch sales stand at 143.42 million units.

Nintendo sold 2.1 million Switch consoles in the past quarter, which was down significantly from the 3.91 million it sold during the same period last year. Nintendo said the downturn can be attributed to a difficult comparison. Indeed, during the same period last year, Switch sales benefitted from the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Nintendo said sales during the same quarter last year were "extremely high" due to those factors. For this year, however, "there were no such special factors in the first quarter of this fiscal year, and with Nintendo Switch now in its eighth year since launch, unit sales of both hardware and software decreased significantly year-on-year," Nintendo said.

News - Until Dawn's Peter Stormare Will Reprise His Role In The Movie

Earlier this year, Sony Pictures announced the upcoming film adaptation of the Until Dawn video game. Now, Peter Stormare, one of the stars of the horror video game, is confirmed to reprise his role in the movie.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Stormare will once again play Dr. Hill, a therapist who makes increasingly unsettling appearances in the game. This casting decision suggests that the movie's script will remain close to the source material. For that reason alone, it's too much of a spoiler to say how and why Dr. Hill is a part of the story. But the primary focus is on a group of friends who reunite one year after a tragedy for a vacation in the mountains that soon goes horribly wrong.

Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli have also joined the cast in currently undisclosed roles. In June, Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, and Odessa A’zion were the first performers lined up for the movie. The video game's cast included Oscar-winner Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Brett Dalton, among others. So far, Stormare is the only actor from the game confirmed for the film.

News - Police Reveal Anti-Human Trafficking Sting At Comic-Con

While the crowds at San Diego Comic-Con were trying to get into panels or find the latest collectibles, the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force had more important goals during the event. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has revealed that a massive anti-human trafficking operation was conducted at San Diego Comic-Con that led to 14 arrests.

Bonta made the announcement through California's official news site, which noted that nine potential adult victims and a 16-year-old girl were rescued during the sting. Police and other personnel pretended to be sex buyers to catch the catch the suspects in the alleged act. Law-enforcement officers also posted ads that solicited sex in order to lure out and arrest sex buyers.

In his statement, Bonta noted that sex traffickers often "capitalize on large scale events such as Comic-Con to exploit their victims for profit." San Diego Sheriff Kelly Martinez added that "There is no more insidious crime than human trafficking. The coercion and violence which enslaves people for profit and places them into forced labor or sex is criminal. As the Sheriff I support the efforts of all our justice partners in holding perpetrators accountable. I appreciate the focus that was placed on the recent convention to identify and rescue victims of human trafficking."
