Microsoft Reveals New Video Game Lineup Ahead of Game Console Release
Video game play during the coronavirus pandemic is already at a fever pitch, and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) looks like it wants to raise temperatures even further. There were 20 new games in all, and the showcase follows Sony's (NYSE: SNE) release several weeks ago of over two dozen titles for its upcoming PlayStation 5 system. Market researcher NPD Group said recently sales of video game hardware, software, accessories, and game cards surged 26% to $1.2 billion in June, the single biggest amount recorded for June since 2009.
