While 2014’s holiday season certainly wasn’t a disappointment, many are well aware that the really good stuff isn’t set to drop until the first quarter of the year, 2015. Needless to say, this is primed to be a really important period, with 8th generation consoles just now hitting their stride with all sorts of super-charged

The console market is unpredictable, having the right release date can be a massive factor for the overall success of a console. Both Sony and Microsoft are currently in a battle for sales, with the PS4 leading by a large percentage. There has been plenty of speculation recently that Nintendo were secretly working on a
