Xbox One trails behind PlayStation 4 for 9th straight month
The 4th quarter for gaming has official started with multiple releases to shock up the virtual world. Electronic Arts is already out the gate for another holiday takeover with the release of their AAA-title, Destiny. During the month of September, Bungie’s first ever major release away from the HALO series topped all games selling over $500 million in profits for its first 24 hours. While the Activision Blizzard struck gold in September, the company is preparing for the launch of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – which will likely be the biggest seller among all games to cap off another 12-month span of fresh content.
