Smart means of delivery, if you move to the Next Generation , The Games will move With You .

In The Past , it is an obsession, was to be sold, how many units in the opening weeks and months of life, a new console. In view of the pandemic, don't you think to measure that The Best way to the success of the introduction of This Time ?
