Playstation Vita does not show up in the last selling charts

The last global hardware selling charts just came out, and the Playstation Vita does not seem to be performing well.

The Nintendo 3DS is stable at 51.1M, followed by Sony’s PS4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One. The Wii U is further away from his rivals, standing at 9.2M copies sold. What really strikes though is the fact that the PS Vita is nowhere to be seen in the charts, leading fans to speculate if the portable console is doing well at all.

Sony has yet to release any official statements, but it was pointed out already by multiple fans that the lack of sales may or may not be directly correlated to the lack of exclusive Yu-Gi-Oh games for the system.

Phil Spencer pretends Kinect never happened during interview

During a lengthy interview for Official Xbox Magazine UK, head of Microsoft’s Xbox division Phil Spencer has been repeatedly asked about the future of the Kinect peripheral in relation to the Xbox One, to no avail.

Here are a few bits from the interview (which can be fully viewed on the Official Xbox Magazine website):

“I was personally surprised to see that the Master Chief Collection was not gonna feature kinect controls in any forms, but in the end I enjoyed the game nevertheless.”

“Controls what now?”

“Kinect controls.”

“What’s a ‘Kinect’?”

“I’m talking about Microsoft’s motion-tracking device for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.”

“I’m afraid I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.”

Microsoft later released an official statement that reported “Kinect never happened, guys“.

Something big seems to have happened in WoW, but no one seems to care anymore

A rumor is circulating around the internet that there is some big, big news about the most famous mmorpg ever, World of Warcraft.

For whoever want to check out what this news is about, they can always try googling it.
