/// Xbox Boss to Speak at Microsoft’s February Gaming Showcase!
Microsoft will host a gaming-focused global media showcase in San Francisco on February 25.
According to NeoWin, attendees will be able to “hear from Head of Xbox Phil Spencer and get hands-on with the best games and platform experiences launching this spring on Xbox and Windows 10″.
This talk of the spring line-up makes me hopeful we might see some new game announces or updates as well, but history does not favour this prediction.

/// EA Not Trying to be “a Corporate Beast”, says CEO!
The Aussie executive spoke at the B.C. Tech Summit on Tuesday and made an interesting comment about EA’s reputation and aims.
“If you understand the video game business, EA — the branding is this corporate beast that just wants to take money from them while people play our games,” Wilson said, as reported by Vancouver 24 Hrs.
“That’s not actually what we’re trying to do.”
If Wilson said what EA is actually trying to do, it was not reported.

Adding fuel to the fire was a marketing survey posted by research company GfK, which appears to detail some pertinent information relating to the Nintendo NX and its purported features. From 4K streaming to 60fps support, the alleged info dump teases the way in which the gameplay will “flow between Nintendo NX console and [its] handheld device.” | Source
