Sony says reports of a 90% drop in PlayStation disc production were a misinterpretation: the expected decline is 10% in 2028, not a collapse to 10% of volume.

Houston will host the 2028 Republican National Convention.
Sen. Jon Ossoff intensifies his anti-Trump messaging—stomping a Columbus rally with Mark Kelly and delivering sharp, viral remarks—while repeatedly insisting he has zero interest in a 2028 presidential bid and wants only to win reelection. The feud underscores renewed national attention on Ossoff’s future ambitions, even as his Georgia race remains competitive and well funded, aided by bipartisan GOP endorsements, with polls showing momentum that could bolster his national profile if he prevails.
Trump told reporters that while he'd love to run in 2028, the law is very strong and would block a third term under the Twenty-second Amendment; the piece notes he has teased a run in the past, but constitutional scholars say there’s no viable path to bypass the term limit, including via a vice-presidential route, and the debate highlights the constitutional guardrails around a potential comeback.
