2017 will be an exciting year for gamers across all platforms. But industry analysts are already struggling over one prediction: will Red Dead Redemption 2 or Call of Duty be the best-selling game of 2017? Call of Duty is a best-selling game every year. Love it or hate it, Call of Duty continues to top the charts – even after experiencing slipping sales figures in recent years. As testament to the appeal of Call of Duty, last year’s Infinite Warfare was still the best-selling game of the year – even though it had lower sales figures than the previous year’s Black Ops 3. The fact is: Call of Duty leads sales charts every year. The last year that Call of Duty didn’t top sales charts was in 2013, when Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto 5.

Microsoft is waving the white flag on its target of reaching 1 billion Windows 10 installs by 2018. Microsoft had initially planned to reach 1 billion Windows 10 installations across all its devices by 2018. Now, after an interview with ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft admits that their goal is not attainable. Instead, Microsoft described how they’re happy with the progress of Windows 10 but due to “the focusing of” the company’s phone hardware business, it will take longer than originally anticipated to reach the one billion monthly active devices goal. Microsoft is attributing the missed target to a changing of focuses: back when Microsoft first made the target at Build 2015, their goal was to spread Windows 10 installations across desktop PCs, tablets, notebooks, Windows Phones, Xbox One consoles, HoloLens headsets, Surface Hub conferencing systems, and various internet of things / smart devices.
