Not 
sure what to buy someone? It’s hard to go wrong with technology.
Gadgets are a perennial topper on holiday wish lists. The Consumer Electronics Association, in fact, estimates 74 percent of holiday shoppers will purchase some form of consumer electronics as a present. But determining what’s worth your money can be tricky if you haven’t kept pace with the industry for the past year. Here are a few can’t miss suggestions for your tech-loving friends or loved ones.
Sony 
has a hit on its hands.
In its first 24 hours of availability, the PlayStation 4 sold more than 1 million units in North America. That’s nearly five times the number of PlayStation 3 units the company sold in that system’s first two weeks on shelves.
You 
didn’t think Nathan Drake was going to miss the next generation, did you?
Sony and Naughty Dog announced plans for a new Uncharted game that will run on the PlayStation 4 during last night’s PS4 All Access Launch Event on Spike TV.
The 
PlayStation 4 is finally in the wild – but finding one is nearly as hard as it was three days ago when the system had yet to launch.
Several retailers are reporting sell-outs of their initial stock – in both major metropolitan areas as well as more rural areas. And, even though the system has only been on sale a few hours, some stores are preemptively shutting down inquiries when you try to check.
Trevor, 
Michael and Franklin might be particularly vicious criminals in Grand Theft Auto V, but they’re heroes to the video game industry.
Grand Theft Auto helped propel the industry into positive growth for the third consecutive month in October. Software sales at brick and mortar retail stores were up 12 percent compared to the October 2012 figures, coming in at $482.5 million.
Temple 
Run, the endless runner game that captured people’s attention nearly two years ago, is sprinting toward the big screen.
Warner Bros. is reportedly in negotiations to turn the hit mobile title into a full-blown movie.
The 
PlayStation 4 doesn’t officially launch until 12:01am Friday, but Sony’s already dealing with its first possible crisis.
A tweet from Shuhei Yoshida, president of PlayStation Worldwide Studios, confirmed the company was looking into reports that there were hardware issues with the new console.
Professional 
football players do it. White House officials probably come closer than they should to doing it. But could your “sweet” kid also be involved? Or, even more heartbreaking, be a victim?
The digital world has become a haven for cyberbullying—bullying that takes place with the help of smartphones and computers and via methods including email, social media and text messaging. What’s more surprising is how widespread this behavior has become—and the gravitational effect it has on children who might otherwise not be part of the bullying process. While parents may think they understand how modern bullying works, their kids beg to differ.
The 
months leading up to a console launch are filled with talk of system specs and features. But the minute those consoles hit shelves, the focus shifts squarely to the games.
No matter how fancy its internal components and capabilities may be, the success or failure of a console ultimately comes down to its software. Historically speaking, launch lineups aren’t great – it takes a while for game makers to get the hang of new hardware – but some have been better than others. Much better, as it were.
The key ingredient in any launch lineup isn’t quantity, but quality. One system-selling game is worth more than 20 forgettable ports. As you debate whether the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 has the better initial lineup of games, take a look back at the five best and five worst day one lineups of past home consoles.
While 
the initial slate of games for the PlayStation 4 is commanding the spotlight right now, things really start to get interesting next year.
Launch titles are often underwhelming. Developers haven’t had a chance to get to know the hardware’s capabilities, and often don’t receive final specs on the system until just a few months before their games release. But things start to shine with that second round of games.
Sony and its publishing partners are taking pains to ensure there’s a steady flow of titles for the PS4 in the months to come. They’ve all got a ways to go before they’re fully baked, but here are a few you might want to keep in mind for next spring and early summer.
