It’s early days in the next-gen console war, with retailers struggling to keep either the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4 in stock for longer than minutes at a time, but that hasn’t stopped both Sony and Microsoft from claiming sales victory from the same set of industry data. NPD’s much-anticipated November sales stats have […]
The console wars are ones that know little bounds, and in them are all sorts of claims and proclamations. Sony fans have a reason to cheer, according to a report just released by NPD Group: the PlayStation 4 is reported as having the highest first-month sales number for any hardware platform. This goes for sales […]
Certain games are exclusives for select consoles, and will remain that way for a long, long time to come. Well, there are pros and cons to that particular situation, and with Rayman Legends, what used to be an exclusive title for the Nintendo Wii U is no longer the case, as come February 2014, it will also be making its way to both the Xbox One and Sony PS4. After all, why keep a good thing to yourself, right? So why not make sure that everyone too, will be able to get a share of the fun. Rayman Legends has been confirmed by the folks over at Ubisoft that both of the next generation versions will be arriving in North America some time in February 2014 – or February 24th, to be exact.
For those of you who own a computer, there is a PC-based demo that is readily available for you to give it a go. The next generation console versions will ultimately come with additional exclusives as well as benefits compared to the Wii U version. For instance, you will find special Splinter Cell, Far Cry 3, and Assassin’s Creed outfits, while the Xbox One version will see Splinter Ray, Ray Vaas, and Globox Vaas, with Assassin Ray replacing those on the PS4.

Microsoft’s two million Xbox One sales are likely to grow by another million before the year is out, it’s predicted, assuming retailers can keep stock on hand, though questions remain about the longevity of the next-gen consoles in the new year. The sales figure – an average of 111,111 units sold per day, Microsoft highlighted […]
The Xbox One received a mandatory system update last night that makes some improvements to some issues it had regarding its multiplayer as well as SmartGlass. It appears the Xbox One isn’t the only next-generation console on the block that has received an update as Sony announced the PlayStation 4 has received system update 1.52 earlier today. (more…)

If its predecessors are any indication, the PlayStation 4 will eventually be released in a variety of colors and finishes. It probably won’t be released in faux wood though. That’s where dbrand comes in. The Canadian company sells gadget skins made from 3M vinyls. One of their newest products is a mahogany skin for the PS4.
I don’t like how the vinyl looks on the Dualshock 4, but the console looks sweet. If you’re of the same opinion, don’t fret because the skins for the console and the controller are not bundled. In fact the skin for the PS4 is actually made of several pieces, which again can be bought separately.
You can order the mahogany vinyl for the PS 4 from dbrand. It will set you back $45 (USD) if you choose to buy skins for the entire console and one controller. You can also mix and match your order with other types of skins, such as carbon fiber and several metal finishes. Dbrand doesn’t have skins for the Xbox One yet, but I don’t think that will be the case for long.

Both the Sony PS4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One seem to be tangled in a bitter fight with one another, and there will be different victors in various regions around the world. What I can say about the Xbox One is this, in Australia, it seemed to have emerge as the victor in the first sales round against the PS4. This particular bit of information was gleaned from the statistics department of retail sales research firm NPD Group, where they claimed that 65,917 units of the Xbox One console actually moved within its first three days in Australia, which is a whole lot less than the 1 million figure we saw Stateside. Still, the Australian Financial Review claims that this 60-plus thousand consoles sold happen to be a new record where console launches are concerned in that part of the world, doubling the amount of its previous record holder, the Nintendo Wii, which launched in 2006.
Sony has preferred to remain mum about the number of PS4 units sold in its first few days after release in Australia, and chances are it is less than the Xbox One. How much less, we do not know, but if it is more, we are quite sure that Sony would not miss out on this gilt edged chance to make such an announcement.
