Microsoft just unveiled their latest next gen console, Xbox One, which they claimed as the new all-in-one entertainment system. Meanwhile PS4 fight back with their RSVP invitation named "See it first June 10th" - an event take place in E3 Press Conference live June 10, 2013.

I will not talk about how mighty is this 2 gaming console, since I'm not the tech expert. But in case you are curious which console is the mightiest, BGR has a post showing Microsoft Xbox One vs. Sony PlayStation 4 Spec comparison.

Now what I want to show you here is the battle of popularity between this 2 console. Which product is more attractive for users? Which is the most awaited gaming platform? Is it PS4 or Xbox One? On this post I use several online media as my benchmark metrics.

Youtube
Youtube as the most popular video-sharing website in the world provide an open public access to each Xbox and PlayStation subscribers and view counts. I will use this as one of the metrics.

Console	Subscribers	Video Views	Register Date
PlayStation	1,076,788	211,000,323	Dec 16, 2005
Xbox	228,708	42,321,821	Oct 31, 2005

Subscribers: PS dominated Youtube by owning 4.7 times bigger subscribers compared to Xbox, despite they registered on the site 46 days later after Xbox.
Video Views: PS has 4.99 times bigger in view counts.

Winner: PS4

Twitter
Twitter, online social networking and microblogging service site can also be use to measure each product competitiveness.

Console	Followers	Register Date
PlayStation	1,891,499	27 November 2007
Xbox	1,192,488	16 March 2009

Followers: It is no secret that modern world indicator of popularity is pretty much represent by the number of followers you have in Twitter. In my table here, PS wins 1.6 times bigger than Xbox. An additional note here: PS registered 475 days before Xbox.

Winner: PS4

Facebook
Facebook, the most popular online social networking service, also have some data that can be use by me.

Console	Likes	Talks
PlayStation	32,536,236	291,444
Xbox	21,662,059	129,067

Likes: Likes pretty much works like followers in Twitter, but the number also represent those user who like a product, despite they are not willing to subscribe to product latest news, update, and promotional stuff. Based on my table above, PlayStation win 1.5 times over Xbox in Likes, and 2.26 times in discussion.

Winner: PS4

Verdict
Based on data from 3 top Internet sites, I conclude PlayStation 4 as the winner. Sony leads in term of likeness and number of fans.

Gran Turismo 6 is real, and it's coming this holiday to PS3. Here's everything you need to know.

GT6 for PlayStation 3 will see many enhancements, improvements and additions to the game. bringing new levels of authenticity to ‘the Real Driving Simulator’. Features revealed include stunning new tracks and cars and an overhauled user interface. There’s also a new engine, which will improve game operation.

The cars and tracks from Gran Turismo 5 — which has now sold over 10 million copies since launching in 2010 — will return in GT6, but notable new additions will bring the car lineup to over 1,200. Players will also be able to customize their rides to a greater extent than ever before.

Amongst the track line-up, the UK’s famous Silverstone Circuit will be just one of seven new locations in Gran Turismo 6, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available — 19 of them brand new. This already impressive lineup of cars and tracks will be added to by future DLC drops beginning after launch.
Enhancements and improvements also extend to a much-improved course maker function, which will provide several kilometers of gorgeous scenery, including the magnificent backdrop of Andalucía. The course maker will also include a new GPS data feature, which will increase the freedom of track creation in the game.

“It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, during the announcement at Silverstone Circuit. “Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT 6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments.

“I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will only be the beginning for GT6. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of Gran Turismo!”

Further news about Gran Turismo 6 will be revealed at the forthcoming E3 and Gamescom events.

Iron Man 3 Extra End Credit Scene

Forgot to stay until the very end of Iron Man 3 movie for the credits scene? Don't worry, here's the recap for you, plus some good guy managed to record the after credit scene for us. Sorry for the bad quality though.

Iron Man fans! How long have you waited for this film?

“Nothing’s been the same since New York.” – Tony Stark

Ending of Iron Man 3
On the platform, Tony goes to save Pepper, as James saves the President. Tony calls in every Iron Man suit from his ruined Malibu house, controlled remotely by JARVIS, to provide backup. James secures the President and leads him to safety, while Tony discovers Pepper has survived the Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses around them and she falls to her apparent death. Tony is forced into confronting Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit which self-destructs, but fails to kill him. Pepper, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her fall, intervenes and finishes Killian once and for all.

After the battle, Tony overcomes his anxiety issues and orders JARVIS to destroy each Iron Man suit remotely, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Pepper and upon realization of the fact that he does not need them anymore, because he is the Iron Man himself. The Vice President and Slattery are arrested. Pepper undergoes surgery to remove Extremis, while Tony has the circulating shrapnel embedded near his heart, removed as well. He pitches his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he will always be Iron Man, even without his armor.

During credit
Additional clip with selected scene in comic style.

After credit
Since many of you Iron Man 3 (2013) extra scene, so here it is. Spoiler alert for the plot & video below.

The extra scene supposedly starts with Tony Stark on a couch talking about his various traumas. As the camera moves back it reveals that the person he’s talking to like a shrink is Bruce Banner aka The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who has fallen asleep because of how boring Tony’s story is. Tony remarks that Bruce has been sleeping during most of his story and starts complaining to him, while Bruce just mumbles “You know, I’m not that kind of doctor!” The scene ends with Tony recalling another memory and Bruce being shown starting to fall asleep again.

Oblivion Movie Ending

Some of you may have been missed Oblivion (2013) ending and credits of the movie. Spoiler alert for the plot below.

Ending of Oblivion
Jack enters the space station and confronts "Sally", who is revealed to be a monolithic, amorphous being. Sally is disappointed when Jack opens the sleeping capsule, revealing that he has not brought Julia as promised, but a wounded Malcolm Beech, who had previously expressed his desire to be there at the moment the nuclear device was triggered. (Julia, unbeknownst to her, has been delivered to Jack's forest retreat; a lakeside cabin where he has stored keepsakes and mementos of human life, such as books and vinyl records.) With Sally growing hostile, Jack urgently recites stanza XXVII of Horatius (The Lay), a poem about Horatius' defense of a Roman bridge, and triggers the device, destroying the space station. By doing so, the remaining drones on the Earth are deactivated.

Three years later, Julia is living a peaceful life in Jack's forest retreat, and has given birth to a daughter, although she is still grief stricken by Jack's death. Through the surrounding forest, members of the former resistance appear, having visibly eschewed their armour and weaponry for more natural clothing. As Julia recognises them, "Jack", the clone of team 52, steps forward and the two hold each other's gaze.

During & After Credits Scene

How To: Sign In Web WeChat

Have you use WeChat? Do you find it useful? Well, if you haven't, I suggest you try it. It's probably one of the best IM app out there. In my opinion, WeChat is better than WhatsApp Messenger, Line, or KakaoTalk in terms of speed, user interface and features.

Okay back to the topic. A lot of my friends are asking the same question when they want to try PC/ web version of WeChat. How do you login? there's no email, phone, password or whatsoever. You only get a QR code when you try to access the web version. The answer is: Damn Easy!!

So, here's how you do it.

1. Go to WeChat web version (some people call it PC version), use this link. You will get this page:

2. On your device, open WeChat app, sign in and tap/click on this icon:

3. Enjoy your chat session!

Hope this help. Let me know if you have any feedback or problem, thanks.

* WeChat is an instant messaging application that available in almost all platforms, you name it no matter you are using Android, iOS, old BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Nokia, PC or Mac.

** Until this post were published, I have not heard about WeChat app for PC or Mac, right now there's only web version.
