Xbox One vs. PS4 I love the Xbox One (“Xbox”) when compared to the PlayStation 4 (“PS”)because the Playstation seems a little confusing. The two consoles are both good but they don’t have things that the other console does. One thing that is kind of a big deal is that the Xbox has a whole game series called Halo.

Other guitar skins can be bought, and even personalized, on Ebay.com. The…

Yet despite its high sales figures, ten years after the release of the Nintendo DS to the wider mainstream market, little research has been done about the effects of the Nintendo DS’s technology on the…

Case study 1: Nintendo It is interesting to consider the video game industry as an example of strategies used by the different firms to compete and stay among the greatest sellers of video games and consoles since those strategies evolve as technology evolves. However, despite the fact that this industry seems a bit different from the more classic cases, it is safe to say that like any other type of firm, the goal of video game producers is to increase their sales and thus, gain a certain kind…
