Hello everyone.

The same day Sony announces that the Playstation 4 sold 2.1 million units worldwide, Microsoft took the opportunity to hit back with their own success story.

Microsoft on "Xbox Wire" said that the Xbox One is seeing an "unprecedented demand," noting that retailers are "working around the clock" to re-stock the system.

Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi states...

"We are humbled and gratified by the overwhelming response from our fans to the launch of the Xbox One. Eleven days in we are seeing record-breaking sales and are selling every Xbox One we can make,"

 Microsoft has not released an updated sale figure for the Xbox One, but they did release some new statistics that are relevant to the device.

-Over 90 millions miles driven in Forza Motorsport 5
-Over 186 million enemies defeated in Ryse:Son of Rome

My Thoughts

 Starting with the PS4 article...

Good Sony.....now please send more stock to Hemet retail stores so I can buy the PS4!!!!

2.1 MILLION UNITS!!!

No wonder I can't buy the console here, everyone else is buying it!!!

No one can argue that Sony lost the PR battle, they clearly did. Gamers really liked Sony's advertisement for the PS4.

As for the second article...

I don't mean to be a jerk about this, but I can't help but think that the reason for the "unprecedented demand" is because so many people hated the Xbox One and Microsoft for the way they were advertising  the console; they were surprised people actually still wanted the console.

I kid Microsoft though. No, it's probably  because they have never had a demand this high for their past consoles.

Seems like both consoles for Sony and Microsoft are very popular with gamers today.

I hope everyone who actually own one is enjoying them, as to the people like me who haven't had the opportunity to buy the consoles.

Don't worry, we'll get one soon.

Thanks for reading.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro
