It comes as the album sets a new record for first-week sales with just over 4 million equivalent album units, breaking Adele’s long-held streaming-era record.

It seems reports of the Xbox console’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Microsoft has confirmed it is not exiting the hardware market following stories of Walmart and Target removing Xbox products from their stores. The reassurance comes after a weekend of online speculation, retail confusion, and fresh doubts about the future of the Xbox Series line.

There have long been rumors that Microsoft is transitioning away from traditional home Xbox consoles in favor of cloud streaming for playing anywhere and on multiple devices, as well as handhelds such as the upcoming Xbox ROG Ally/Ally X.

Apple’s next-generation M5 chip may not deliver major performance leaps over M4, instead it’s a sign that the company is doubling down on what it does best: controlling every layer of its hardware stack. The incremental approach allows Apple to maintain predictable year-over-year refresh cycles while refining battery efficiency, neural processing, and graphics performance.

Apple is preparing to debut its next generation M5 processor later this month. The new chip will anchor several upcoming products, including the latest iPad Pro and the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, both expected to be unveiled in the coming days.
