My group is covering consumer technology/electronics and news related to them. This includes things such as tablets, laptops, smartwatches, google glasses, game consoles, smart phones etc. With such a wide array of technologies out there we deiced to narrow our focus down to the release of the new iPhone 5s and 5c, the release of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and Twitter going public. The topic that I have been focusing on is the release of the X1 and the PS4.

The PS4 was released in Nov. 15th in the US  and sold over 1 million units in the first 24 hours. Leading up to the release there were many different news outlets covering the “War of the Consoles” and many of the articles were feature articles filled with more opinion then anything else. However, news outlets such as Forbes, and The Post mostly  refrained from releaseing articles until they were able to try the PS4 and give a more object review.

The X1 will release on Nov 22nd. Despite not being released yet there still has been a ton of articles written about the console. Many of these are more akin to feature articles and opinion blogs then an actual news story.
