I softened up some of the colors to be the following, as it doesn't seem as harsh on the B3D Dark theme.

#00ff80 for MS Green
#0080ff for Sony Blue

Heh, I made it darker to make it easier to read on the theme I'm using. Oh well.

Ah yeah, the blue isn't too bad on both but the green seems too soft on white, but the other green was too harsh on dark. It was practically glowing.

Maybe there needs to be a pink or purple background for all colored chart listings. ;)
 
Italicised and underlined bundles as that's what we're really interested in and they didn't stand out enough to my eyes.
 
Yeah dark theme ftw, anything white = dead eyes during the afternoon/night! On that note, i would also recommend flux for those caring about their eye health/quality of sleep :p

Tune monitor brightness and use lamp.

White letters on black burn in on my retina.
 
ZhugeEX has an article claiming Xbox One is best selling console in Latin America through "official channels", meaning the large gray market in that area is not accounted for.

In Latin America the Xbox One was the best selling next generation console in 2014 through official sales channels.

In Latin America there are three key gaming markets, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Mexico is by far the leading market for official console hardware and software sales thanks to much laxer laws on taxation of gaming products compared to Brazil and Argentina. Mexico entered the North American trade agreement in 2003 which allowed imports of console hardware and software with little to no import duties allowing for the price of entry for official consoles to be lowered. Microsoft started to target this market very strongly and with the price advantage over the PS3 led to Mexico becoming one of the top 5 markets for Xbox and allowed the 360 to have a huge lead over the PS3.

He goes on to talk about how Xbox is cheaper in Brazil as well. At least officially.

While there's interesting stuff in there it's the usual problem I have with Zhuge content, he appears to be claiming these as fact yet cites nor alludes to no sources that I can ascertain nor reveals his methodology.

The sources are disclosed at the bottom of the article.

This is basically me going through a huge amount of market research data (Some public and some not) in order to draw conclusions about the market in Latin America.
 
Good news!

Been expecting this for some time and it looks like it's finally happening.

This will help Sony to reach their internal targets for sure.
 
Activision pulls Black Ops 3's digital pre-order from Xbox Store

Activision pulls BlackOps3 digital preorder from Xbox Store.

"Activision pulled the standard version at least 6 days ago and the deluxe edition 4 days ago from the Xbox One Store. Now even the description says "Available at your local retailer for pre-order." Customers who already bought the game when the pre-order was live won't have any issues. New customers just can't buy it digitally on Xbox One"


"We contacted Amazon Customer Support and they said there wasn't any error. The product was removed by the seller. Activision and Microsoft state that they're working together to bring the digital pre-order back to the store. If that's the case then why did Activision remove the season pass from other retailers? What's really going on? "

US console sales battle for the last quarter of 2015 just got much more interesting.

Things got a lot less interesting. Without a drop to $299 on Xbox One, Sony handily wins the rest of the year in NPD.
