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.

SONY MAY KILL OFF PS VITA IN LIGHT OF SLUMPING SALES Tokyo, 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.

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.
