In its recent third-quarter earnings conference call, GameStop (NYSE: GME ) treated investors to some juicy details surrounding the battle between the Sony (NYSE: SNE ) PS4 and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Xbox One. So just what did management at the nation's largest video-game retailer have to say about the PS4 and Xbox One?
Aquiris Game Studios’ Horizon Chase 2 races onto consoles delivering one of the best arcade racing experiences ever that surprasses the original game in every way.
During Summer Games Fest four new characters were announced for Street Fighter 6 Season 2 including Fatal Fury and KOF characters.
Capcom made excellent decisions there with all 4 characters but due to everything else in SF6 I stick to my choice to buy the game when there is the complete edition. won't be milked by capcom ever again.
TheGamer Interviewed Naoki Yoshida: "A lot of people have been playing together with me and they don't even realize it."

The PS4 sold 1Million in NA alone, while the X1 sold 1Million In 13 territories.
Gives you a perspective of whats to come.
"The Death of the PC
The days of paying for costly software upgrades are numbered. The PC will soon be obsolete. And BusinessWeek reports 70% of Americans are already using the technology that will replace it. Merrill Lynch calls it "a $160 billion tsunami." Computing giants including IBM, Yahoo!, and Amazon are racing to be the first to cash in on this PC-killing revolution. Yet, a small group of little-known companies have a huge head start."
That is a stupid prediction btw. PC gaming will never die. Steam Proves that easily.
But even with this being the case we have the apologist still proclaiming that the Xbox1 has preformed some unattainable feat by selling a console worldwide to garner 1 million sales! If Sony had released worldwide Microsoft wouldn't have had a chance! It actually would have been pretty funny how Microsoft would have tried to make comparisons.
We at Microsoft pride ourselves with delivering the most powerful console and content with 300,000 servers providing unlimited cloud potential from the planet Krypton empowered with the life giving rays of our yellow sun.
When a store gets 100 ps4s and 30 Xbox ones then of course the ps4 is going to outsell. It's basic math. Ms just hasn't produced enough consoles to meet demand. Why do you think all those Xbox one kiosks are just shells playing videos. They literally dont even have enough consoles to fill demo units. And if you truly believe the demand is higher for ps4 just go to your local GameStop and hang out for about 15 minutes and count how many phone calls they get asking about Xbox ones. I promise you'll be surprised. I'm not biased I have both consoles but I'm tired of people making it sound like Sony is better because they have more units.
No suprise here considering the Ps4 is a Beast and the competition is a pet
