It was in May last year when Bethesda made an announcement concerning Wolfenstein: The New Order, where it will arrive on the PC, PS3 as well as next-gen platforms (back then). The thing is, the game itself has been delayed to this year from the last, which is not a bad thing entirely if it means being able to roll out a polished game at the end of it without any bugs accompanying its release. Well, it does seem as though Wolfenstein: The New Order on the Sony PS4 as well as Xbox One will be able to feature native 1080p/60fps on both consoles, achieving parity regardless of the platform that you have affiliated yourself with.

When it comes to gaming, here are two groups of people – the first would be the casual gamer who does not mind not going without his or her daily fix of Flappy Bird or Candy Crush, while the hardcore gamer would be one who ensures that every single secret is uncovered across all levels, and in record time, too. Well, audio in games have played a very huge role over the years to complement the improved visuals, so much so it is now an indispensable part of the game. Polk knows this, and with four decades of sound, engineering and design expertise, the company has announced its latest 4 Shot Headset for Xbox One. The 4 Shot Headset is set to hit the market to accompany the latest generation Xbox One console this coming March 6th.

It will also hold the title of being the first Xbox One compatible headset which will arrive in stores, where the 4 Shot Headset was specially developed in collaboration with Microsoft Studios at 343 Industries and Turn 10 Studios, who happen to be the creators of the “Halo” and “Forza Motorsport” franchises. With such strong backing from various industry leaders, the 4 Shot Headset will bring listeners to the next level with real, balanced audio representative of the virtual world. It will boast of proprietary Polk Optimized Electro-acoustic Tuning (POET), so that users will be enveloped in immersive and realistic sound for a truly game-changing experience.

Apart from that, the 4 Shot will also be able to hook up to gamers’ wireless Xbox One controllers, offering them the additional freedom of moving around. It boasts of dynamic, loss-less wireless technology that translates to a lower incidence of latency issues, ensuring that you will be able to make those crucial split-second gaming decisions that could mean either victory or defeat. Not only that, there is a retractable near-field microphone so that you can carry out conversations or take calls at any point in time. Prepare $159.95 this coming March 6 and you can pick up the 4 Shot Headset at select GameStop locations and polkaudio.com.

I think we all knew that eventually the Xbox One would see its price cut to closer match the cost of the PS4. That was especially clear when developers started saying that the PS4 was the better console on top of the fact that it was $100 cheaper here in the U.S. Microsoft has now cut the price of the Xbox One in the UK, where it started out costing £80 (~$133 USD) more than the PS4.

Effective this week, Microsoft has cut the price of the console to £399.99 from £429.99 (or about $50 USD). Gamers can even wait a bit and get a bundle with the anticipated game Titanfall for the same price once the game is released in March. Even at the new price, The Xbox One is still quite a bit more expensive than the Xbox One sells for in the U.S., with the U.S. dollar equivalent being about $668 at the time of this posting. In contrast, the PS4 sells for £349.99 in the UK, or about $584 (USD).

Microsoft wants us to believe that the price cut doesn’t mean the system wasn’t selling well. I don’t know who they are trying to fool, all the numbers have the PS4 outselling the Xbox One. No business slashes prices on products when the products are selling well at the higher price. The price cut came only 94 days into the Xbox One’s life.
