However, while having gamers talk about Destiny and show interest in Destiny should presumably be a good thing for all platforms (save for PC), Sony apparently doesn’t see it that way. Rather, they believe that Destiny is their big system-seller this fall season and are almost treating the game like a first party exclusive. Obviously, Xbox gamers are not locked out of purchasing Destiny, but there’s no denying that Sony’s exclusivity deal with Activision has paid off....

This share comes down to a total of $19.7 billion spent by gamers, which is split between hardware, software, and service markets. Apparently, Sony is also estimating that this domination of the console market will continue into 2017, and the company is even predicting that its sales will reach above the $20 million mark, placing this additional rise on the continued expansion of the digital gaming market.

Despite being without a host of first-team players due to injuries and suspension, United managed to overturn a 2-0 first-leg home defeat to reach the quarter-finals, winning 3-1 in Paris. Romelu Lukaku scored twice in the first half, either side of Juan Bernat’s equaliser, putting United in a strong position. It looked as though United were going to fall short, but in second-half stoppage time Presnel Kimpembe was contentiously penalised for handball after a VAR review and Rashford blasted the resulting spot-kick beyond Gianluigi Buffon, much to Solskjaer’s delight....

Sunday’s trip to Leicester will see United face Harry Maguire, a centre-back Jose Mourinho wanted to sign before the start of this season. The club’s refusal to sanction a move for the England international deepened divisions between Mourinho and the board, the fallout that ended with the manager’s sacking in December as the team struggled. Caretaker manager Solskjaer, publicly at least, appears less concerned than Mourinho about the lack of defensive signings this season but a shortage of quality in that area remains an issue....

Their comments came Tuesday, despite video evidence and first-hand accounts showing a non-hostile crowd that was dispersed by riot shields, rubber bullets, police horses and what appeared to be tear gas so the president could walk across the street to pose for a photo with a Bible in his hand.
