Sony Confirmed The Last of Us PS4
Everybody has known about The Last of Us PS4 for, well, quite a while. It was turning up for pre-order in stores at the beginning of the year, and development was confirmed by a senior Sony employee last month. Stores were even accepting pre-orders and offering bonuses.

GameStop Says New Generation Doing Better than Expected
Retailer GameStop reckons the new generation has been better than anybody could have expected, going so far as to outsell the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in store in their first 15 months on the market.
