LATEST CALL OF DUTY SALES NUMBERS SHOW GAMERS WILL BUY ANY OLD CRAP ACTIVISION MAKES Santa Monica, CA – Gamers tend to be a fickle bunch, alternatively hating and loving the same things over and over again. For a brief period Activision was the chief whipping boy for fan boy rage, becoming everything that gamers despised about gaming, big corporations with no imagination and no common touch. That has resulted in a lot of controversy for the company, the kind that in most areas would be a PR disaster. PLAYSTATION PLANS 10-YEAR CYCLE FOR VITA NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE BUY IT Tokyo, Japan – When the first PlayStation system appeared on the market in the mid-1990’s video gaming was much different thing than it is today. For the most part, gaming was the domain of geeks and nerds. There were no television shows dedicated to gaming, no awards shows, and certainly no multi-billion dollars companies in the field.

SONY MAY KILL OFF PS VITA IN LIGHT OF SLUMPING SALESTokyo, Japan - Back in 2004 the gaming world was a different altogether from what it is today. Games were popular, raking in billions of dollars a year, but they still had not gone mainstream. Yes, people would lay computer solitaire or minesweeper but that, for the most part, was it. Now just about everyone plays games, whether robust
complex titles on expensive hardware or cheap and even free simple titles on their phone or Facebook account. More people than ever are playing games, yet games are starting to suffer. NINTENDO EXECUTIVES CONSIDERING RITUAL SUICIDE AFTER POSTING FIRST LOSS IN THIRTY YEARS Kyoto, Japan – Pretty much everyone who follows video games knows the story of how Nintendo redefined the industry back in the 1980’s. They know the tale of how they rescued a flailing industry from near ruin and made it viable almost by themselves and how they continued to innovate and revolutionize throughout their life, even up to the modern day almost thirty years later. It’s a great story and one worth telling, especially now that it appears all that may be coming to an end.
