Playstation 4 Sold 40% More Xbox One

The eternal dispute based on the sales figures of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One is more alive than ever. Those responsible for Ars Technica decided to shed light on the controversial issue by publishing an ad hoc report.

World statistics were steady in April 2014, when the Playstation 4 was able to increase to nearly seven million units sold, up from five million Xbox One. The document includes the data updated in September 2014, once again being led by Sony, thanks to 10.56 million of gaming machines sold, while Microsoft has been able to place 7.42 million units.

Ars Technical thunders then a gap of sales by about 40% between the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, although of course we are faced with a range of estimates reported by other industry experts.
There are certainly facing unexpected data. Playstation 4 continues to sell due to several factors. The more powerful hardware, the presence of several different bundles and the presence of well-supported service Playstation Plus are only some of the elements that are making tip the balance in favor of Sony.

Microsoft will really be able to reverse this trend or will have to resign themselves to the way of eternal second? Only time will answer this question.

Sony Reportedly Set To Launch a 12-inch Tablet In 2015

According to sources in the Taiwanese supply chain, Sony is preparing to enter the ultra-size tablet market, as are a selection of other unspecified mobile vendors. Sony is apparently set to launch a 12-inch tablet in the first quarter of 2015.

Being such a large size, it’s likely that Sony will pack the huge tablet with a high resolution display and will have to accompany that with a beefy processor and other high-end specifications. This will be the case according to the sources, and Sony will be targeting the 12-inch tablet at markets with a high demand for graphics-related applications.

However, this tablet isn’t expected to experience very high demand, as only a limited supply is apparently heading through the supply chain. Instead, Sony could be testing consumer appetites for larger tablets with a smaller roll-out before deciding if it’s a market segment it would like to commit to in the long term.

Sony’s 12-inch tablet will likely be targeted at laptop users looking for something a little more portable. Think Microsoft’s 12-inch Surface Pro 3 or Samsung’s 12.2 inch Galaxy Note PRO. It will be interesting to see how successful Sony’s tablet turns out to be.
