Microsoft ‘insider’ responds to PS4 – Report

February 1, 2013 6:45AM PST

Unnamed source says “victory will go not to those who make the most noise, but those who make the most impact.”

A “Microsoft insider” speaking to CVG has responded to Sony’s next-generation tease. This unnamed person said future platform supremacy will be awarded to the company with the most substance, not the most flash.

“Victory will go not to those who make the most noise, but those who make the most impact,” this person said.

In addition, a Sony insider told the site that the company is not focusing on outperforming the Xbox 720 in terms of raw power. Previous reports suggested the PS4 and Xbox 720 would be feature the same graphics card.

“The war won’t be won by producing the most powerful system,” the person said.

Sony last night invited gamers to “see the future” of the PlayStation brand on February 20 at 6 p.m. EDT. The company will hold an event in New York City that evening where the PlayStation 4 is to be revealed, if a report from The Wall Street Journal proves accurate.

Xbox 360 sales reach 75.9 million

February 1, 2013 7:19AM PST

Microsoft home console hits new sales milestone, with Xbox Live membership above 40 million.

Microsoft has now sold 75.9 million Xbox 360 consoles across the world, according to an updated sales chart from the company. This is up from 70 million sold by October last year.

Xbox Live membership stands at north of 40 million users, the same figure Microsoft announced months ago.

By comparison, the PlayStation 3 has officially sold-in (i.e. shipped) 70 million units as of November 2012, though a new report states as many as 77 million units have been sold.

Microsoft may soon usher in its next-generation Xbox. A previous report suggests the company will hold an Apple-style event in March to announce its new machine. Sony is rumored to reveal the PlayStation 4 at a New York City event February 20.
