PlayStation's Big Plan to Defy the Switch 2 Is a Wireless Fight Stick for PS5 and PC
Sony's in a strange state now that the Switch 2 has finally seen the light of day. In an effort to claw back some of the spotlight, PlayStation declared it's making its first wireless fight stick, called 'Project Defiant.' At first glance, the controller seems like a solid option for fighting game fanatics. The main issue is that Sony is holding it back for an entire year. Project Defiant, a name that seems a little too on the nose considering the other big gaming hardware hitting the scene today, is a full-on fight stick complete with the typical PlayStation-centric layout you know from the DualSense controller. It's a device made with the hardcore fighting game player in mind. The pad has toolless interchangeable restrictor gates that sit inside a compartment whenever you need them. Restrictor gates sit underneath the stick to create a physical sense of the stick's orientation. PlayStation's new controller supports the Japanese-style square restrictor gate as well as a circle and octagon. The buttons are built on mechanical switches, which should hopefully offer a tactile feel. Project Defiant is still a PlayStation controller, and you can access touchpad functions along the top of the controller. Sony's stark black and white design lends itself well to the typical fighting stick design, especially the glowing LED accent where the pane with the stick meets the raised button panel. Like its more recent headsets, the controller uses Sony's own PlayStation Link for low-latency connectivity, which means you'll need to use a special USB dongle. Sony says Project Defiant should be compatible with both PS5 and PC, but if you want to avoid the dongle, you can connect it via USB-C. The controller even includes its own carrying case. So you're probably wondering how much it costs or when you can get one. Unfortunately, Sony hasn't revealed anything about release timing beyond a planned launch in 2026. The company does tend to reveal peripherals months before launch, even before offering the device's official names, like Sony's 'Project Q' which eventually became the PlayStation Portal. There were only three months between the reveal of Sony's odd streaming handheld and its launch. Sony is hankering to claw as much spotlight away from Nintendo's Switch 2. The technology giant dropped trailers for a few key games at its latest PlayStation State of Play, though videos for big games like Ghost of Yōtei and Metal Gear Solid: Delta didn't include much to chew on. Yōtei was merely a teaser trailer for yet another State of Play set to debut in July. The more landmark announcements, like the new trailer for IO Interactive's 007: First Light alongside more footage of Silent Hill F. At the very least, the return of Final Fantasy Tactics with the new title The Ivalice Chronicles built up some buzz from longtime fans. We'll have to wait and see if there will be any more gaming hardware news that can burst the Switch 2's hype bubble. Sony is reportedly working on a handheld to rival the Switch or Steam Deck, but it has yet to materialize beyond rumors. We're still waiting to see if the Xbox-branded Asus gaming handheld can take our eyes away from either Nintendo's or Valve's latest devices. Last week, Windows Central reported Microsoft reportedly sidelined its own Xbox handheld so it could work on a version of Windows 11 made for handheld form factors.

Here's My Top Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to Buy in June
The growing demand for AI servers and personal computers should be a big tailwind for this tech giant in the long run. The company's latest results were solid, and its guidance points toward an improvement in growth. This AI stock's valuation and earnings growth potential make it a no-brainer buy right now. 10 stocks we like better than Dell Technologies › Shares of Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) have underperformed the broader market in the past year, losing 20% of their value while the tech-laden Nasdaq-100 Composite index recorded 14% gains during the same period. However, Dell's poor returns in the past year mean that it is trading at a very attractive valuation right now. Throw in the fact that the company is witnessing a gradual uptick in growth due to a recovery in the personal computer (PC) market and a sharp increase in the demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) servers, and it could very well turn out to be a solid buy right now. Let's look at the reasons why Dell looks like a top AI stock to buy this month. Dell released its fiscal 2026 first-quarter results (for the three months ended May 2) on May 29. The company's revenue increased by 5% from the year-ago quarter, while non-GAAP earnings per share increased at a faster pace of 17%. The top-line growth isn't exactly eye-popping, but that's set to improve going forward due to the gradual recovery in the PC market. Dell's revenue from sales of commercial PCs increased 9% year over year to $11 billion. However, the 19% decline in consumer PC revenue to $1.5 billion weighed on this segment's growth. The good part is that there are bright spots within the consumer PC market, such as the growing demand for AI-enabled PCs and the Windows 11 upgrade cycle. These factors helped Dell's client solutions group (CSG) report much stronger growth in Q1 of fiscal 2026, compared to the 1% growth it saw in this segment in the previous fiscal year. Importantly, PC shipment volumes are expected to pick up over the next couple of quarters, according to market research firm IDC. So, it won't be surprising to see Dell's CSG revenue growth rate improving going forward. At the same time, its AI server business is in fine form. The company received orders worth $12.1 billion for its AI-optimized servers in the previous quarter. This number was higher than Dell's AI server revenue in all of fiscal 2025. The company is now sitting on an AI server order backlog of $14.1 billion, indicating that the revenue from its infrastructure solutions group (ISG) should also pick up momentum as the year progresses. Dell's ISG revenue increased 12% year over year in fiscal Q1 to $10.3 billion, and the tremendous backlog is one of the reasons why the company is now expecting even faster growth in the current quarter. The midpoint of Dell's fiscal second-quarter revenue guidance points toward a year-over-year increase of 16%. Though the company has maintained its fiscal 2026 revenue growth guidance at 8%, it won't be surprising to see it do better than that, due to the improving prospects of the PC and server markets. Sales of AI PCs are expected to increase at an annual rate of 42% through 2028, according to IDC. The AI server market, on the other hand, is expected to clock a 34% annual growth rate through the end of the decade. Dell, therefore, is sitting on a couple of lucrative growth drivers that could ensure years of outstanding growth for the company. Analysts have raised their earnings expectations for Dell over the next couple of years, though don't be surprised to see those estimates head higher as its AI-fueled businesses gain momentum. But even if Dell achieves $11.84 per share in earnings in fiscal 2028 and trades at 27.5 times earnings at that time (in line with the tech-laden Nasdaq-100 index's forward earnings multiple), its stock price could hit $325. That points toward a massive jump of more than 192% from current levels. The important thing to note here is that Dell is trading at just 17 times trailing earnings and 12 times forward earnings, which means that investors are getting a terrific deal on this AI stock right now. They should consider grabbing this opportunity with both hands as the gradual improvement in its financial performance could lead the market to reward it with more upside and send shares higher in the long run.
