||The First Order only wants to see that Xbox deleted from the lists forever…||
First order..sorry for this. But you are out of date. Xbots are dead. at 3rd march.. only Memories remains now…and soon……THEM TOO.
||I still see Xboxes being sold so no, they aren’t dead…||
Xbox fans love you too NC.
The Nintendo Direct will be interesting, at the very least, and yes, I will be watching live, at 11pm UK time.
The Ps4 is in a fight for its life in Japan. The Nintendo systems are the legendary titans of the Japanese gaming industry.
Just like the UK sales list, Destiny 2 came along & bitch slapped everyone away from the #1 spot for it’s debut week.
