Xbox One console breaks sales record

Xbox One console breaks sales record

Xbox One

 Microsoft has sold more than 1m Xbox One consoles in 24 hours, smashing previous records, and enthusiastic gamers are already putting their machines to the test.
The third version of the US firm's best-selling console, and the first new design to appear in eight years, made its debut in the UK and 13 other markets on Friday, but is already sold out in most retailers.
Microsoft statisticians estimate that owners of the new console have already dispatched more than 60m zombies, driven 3.6m miles and earned 43m fit points as they explore some of the 22 titles available at launch.
"Xbox One is now sold out at most retailers," the company said in a release. "We are working to replenish stock as fast as possible to meet the unprecedented demand from our customers."
I think that the new Xbox is a big improvement from the last one and will affect technology for the better, as their are new features inside the console, however  I think that its improvement in sales but i think that the new PlayStation 4 will break sell and will break Xbox's sales as well, breaking world record sales, this is all due to the new feature in the console and that is more appealing to a certain mass audience, as Xbox is now a entertainment console more for family, all due to the new feature but play station is for boys and men

You tube’s engineers have created a new and technology to identify videos made by paedophiles. Google has been working with Microsoft to identify pictures of child pornography.
Google’s chef executive has announced that a 200+ strong team where they are going to clean up on their Google Search to target 100,000 terms that can  be used to locate child pornography.

I think that this is very good as the government is taking an action against child pornography, as they are getting the two top leader search engines in the world to help out against this problem. As they are using new technology to stop this happening.
