Months after pulling in tremendous revenue for parent company Take-Two Interactive, the online juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down and has pushed GTA V to console gaming's top spot for June 2017.

Grand Theft Auto V dominated console revenues for June 2017, analyst firm SuperData reports, driven by strong revenues from its powerhouse online component GTA Online. Rockstar and Take-Two have successfully driven up engagement and spending in GTA Online with new content updates such as the recent Gunrunning patch, and the publisher plans to support the game well into 2018 with new content updates.

"On GTA Online, we have said that plenty of more content is coming. More announcements will be made by Rockstar in the future. The title (GTA Online) is absolutely being supported by the label. Consumers love it, and it remains an enormous focus of everyone's attention and we remain very excited by it even though our financial results are expected to moderate,"Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a recent company fiscal earnings call.

Nintendo Switch software sales sit at 13.6 million units, meaning most Switch owners have 2-3 games.

Massively popular PC gaming juggernaut PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is getting paid cosmetic crates, but only for a limited time.

On August 3, PUBG players will have the option to temporarily buy special cosmetic loot crates--aka Gamescom Invitational Crates--for $2.50 a piece. The crates are part of a fundraising initiative to help pay for its Gamescom PUBG Invitational event, not unlike Blizzard's recent War Chest for StarCraft II and Valve's Battle Pass program for DOTA 2. Bluehole also says that a portion of the proceeds from the paid crates will be donated to charity.

The developers affirm that this move will allow them to test out the finalized crate system that will be implemented in the game's final release outside of early access, and that the paid crates aren't here to stay. Gamescom Invitational Crates will be sold from August 3 through August 27 for $2.50 a piece, and will contain five special cosmetic outfits. Following August 27 the game will revert to its free-to-open crate system.

Apple's and Samsung's flagships for this year won't come cheap. According to the rumors, Samsung's Galaxy Note8 should be priced at around $1,000. We also heard that Apple's iPhone 8 should be the most expensive iPhone so far.

According to sources close to the company, the iPhone 8 might come in two versions, with 128GB of storage and 256GB. The iPhone 8's price should start from $1,100 to $1,200.

Back in May, we reported that global iPhone 7 prices generally vary from $815 to $1,200, meaning that the new iPhone 8 could cost up to insane $1,600 in certain countries.

Investment firm EagleTree Capital now owns the majority share of leading PC peripheral-maker Corsair, corroborating recent reports from Reuters.

In a transaction valued at approximately $525 million, EagleTree Capital has finalized a purchase agreement with Corsair's current management to purchase a majority stake within the company from its current owners Francisco Partners.

Corsair founder Andy Paul will retain his position as CEO in the company following the transaction, and key execs from EagleTree are keen on expending into new markets for the brand's fleet of premium peripherals and PC components, as well as possible acquisitions in the future. Corsair remains a private company, and it will be interesting to see if the new stakeholders will explore IPO plans in the coming years.

Google's Daydream has struggled to compete with the likes of Samsung's Gear VR even though it came out with much promise late last year. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, there will be only eleven devices by the end of this year that will support Google Daydream.

When you consider how many manufacturers there are out there and how many devices each of them make, eleven really isn't much. In fact, Samsung can claim eight Gear VR devices today, and they're probably about to launch their ninth with the Note8 coming next month.

HMD Global is pretty eager to bring back the days of old fame to the Nokia brand. They already announced a modern version of the Nokia 3310 and three Nokia smartphones. The company should announce its flagship, Snapdragon 835 powered, Nokia 8.

Evan Blass leaked the Nokia 8 last week, giving us the best look at the device so far, and now the company has finally revealed the launch date - August 16th. It seems that August will be a busy month. Samsung will launch the Note8, LG will unveil the V30, and ASUS should also reveal its ZenFone 4.

The Nokia 8 should be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 and come with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The phone is expected to feature a 5.3-inch QHD display and run Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Some sources report that the device will be priced at $675.

Nintendo kicks off its new fiscal year with strong earnings in net sales, operating income, and total profits, solidifying the company's return as a major player in the games market.

Nintendo today announced its first quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2018, showing massive year-over-year growth and strong earnings potential for the rest of the year. In the 3-month period from April 1 thru June 30 the Kyoto-based games-maker pulled in net sales of 154.069 billion yen ($1.37 billion), up a mighty 148.62% year-over-year thanks to tremendous Switch adoption, continual 3DS earnings, and growing mobile revenues from its smartphone gaming segment.

The Japanese titan's Q1'17 operating income saw the most dramatic spike, however: Nintendo reported operating profit of 16.208 billion yen ($144.915 million), up an incredible 415% year-over-year from Q1'16's dismal -5.13 billion yen operating income figures. Total profits are up to 21.260 billion yen ($190.085 million), seeing another big boost by 186.65% year-over-year from Q1'16's -24.53 billion yen.

Nintendo's first party shooter Splatoon 2 is a juggernaut in domestic sales, and is now the top-selling Nintendo Switch game in Japan.

Splatoon 2 has sold 670,995 units in Japan in just 3 days, Famitsu reports. This number, which doesn't digital sales, is over 300% more than the original Splatoon game sold on Wii U at launch. In fact, Splatoon 2 has eclipsed launch sales of other massively popular Nintendo Switch games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which sold 284,823 physical copies during its debut in late April.

Splatoon 2's debut sales have a huge 55.67% attach rate, meaning more than half of every Switch owner in Japan bought the game. The Japanese games magazine reports the Nintendo Switch install base has grown to 1,205,087 units in the region, up from the previous 1 million sales estimate from last month.

AMD has been enjoying success after success throughout 2017, bringing excitement to the CPU world with the release of not just Ryzen 7 1800X - but the entire Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 family of processors.

The company continued that upward trajectory with Ryzen ThreadRipper teases all year, with AMD's return to HEDT not just some lukewarm release - but a huge ass kicker to Intel who has been dragging their ass along the ground for years now. AMD's upcoming Ryzen ThreadRipper 1950X flagship processor is a 16C/32T beast for only $999, with Intel's closest processor costing nearly DOUBLE that.

Well, this has all turned into AMD making some massive strides on the books and in the market with AMD shares spiking 8.2% to $15.27 in extended trading on Tuesday. AMD is now expected to have an annual revenue increase of "a mid to high-teens percentage" compared to previous estimates that saw low double-digit percentage revenue growth. AMD is expected to push Q3 2017 revenues by 23% over the previous quarter.

USB 3.2 is on its way, with the official USB 3.0 Promotor Group that is a team effort between Apple, HP, Intel, Microsoft, and other companies, have announced the USB 3.2 specification.

USB 3.2 is an exciting leap over USB 3.1, with USB 3.2 being an incremental upgrade that will define multi-lane operation for USB 3.2 hosts and devices. USB Type-C already supports multi-lane operation, but USB 3.2 makes it easier by allowing hosts and devices to be created as multi-lane solutions, which will provide 2 x 5Gbps lanes, or two lanes at 10Gbps each.

The current-gen USB 3.1 cables can only drive 10Gbps, but this new upgrade will see USB 3.2 to USB 3.2 devices have up to 2GB/sec of bandwidth. USB 3.2 cables will be backwards compatible with other USB devices, with USB 3.0 Promoter Group Chairman, Brad Saunders, explaining: "When we introduced USB Type-C to the market, we intended to assure that USB Type-C cables and connectors certified for SuperSpeed USB or SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps would, as produced, support higher performance USB as newer generations of USB 3.0 were developed. The USB 3.2 update delivers the next level of performance".

While autonomous car technology excites millions of people across teh world, the future of driver-less cars means one of the biggest job sectors in the world - transportation, is going to be heavily affected, with millions of jobs lost.

India is cutting this future off by not supporting self-driving cars so that there aren't major job losses, with India's Transport and Highways Minister, Nitin Gadkari, telling reporters: "We won't allow driverless cars in India. I am very clear on this". He continued: "We won't allow any technology that takes away jobs. In a country where you have unemployment, you can't have a technology that ends up taking people's jobs".

Gadkari continued, saying that India needed 22,000 commercial drivers and that the government is opening multiple new training facilities to train 5000 more professional drivers over the next few years.

We've had so many custom GeForce GTX 1080 Ti cards released this year, but Colorful isn't stopping, with the announcement of their new iGame GTX 1080 Ti Kudan graphics card.

Colorful has carefully selected each GP102 chip from 100 chips to ensure it has maximum OC out of the box, with the company including their own iGame Pure Power and Silver Plating Technology. We have GPU clocks of 1657/1784MHz for base and boost GPU clocks, respectively - while the 11GB of GDDR5X sticks to its 11Gbps frequency. But that's not all.

Where this card takes a hard spike to the right, is that Colorful ships the iGame GTX 1080 Ti Kudan with a new cooler: Waterspout Cooler II. It's a massive integrated pump, water block and cooling fins, with Coloful using customized high air pressure fans to keep the card nice and cool. The radiator isn't as big as some out there, so you don't need to worry too much about fitting it in your case - and let's face it, anyone buying Colorful's new iGame GTX 1080 Ti Kudan would be making sure it'll fit before purchasing it.

EVGA has finally announced its new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N graphics card, which is the company's latest flagship GTX 1080 Ti that is better than the already great GTX 1080 Ti SC2 and GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 graphics cards.

EVGA has included its impressive iCX cooling technology, and then unleashed professional overclocker K|NGP|N and given him GP102 and I'm sure countless hours of working and tweaking to make the GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N. EVGA sets the GPU base and boost clocks at a respectful 1582/1695MHz, but I'm sure you're going to hit the same 2.2GHz ceiling that GP102 is known for.

The company is providing a guaranteed 2025MHz GPU overclock with the GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N, a sleek dual-slot profile and single-slot capable with the Hydro Copper Waterblock. EVGA has placed the 8+8-pin PCIe power connectors on the end of the card, which is such a great move - as it keeps the annoying PCIe power cables tucked away and out of sight.

You'd think one of the best looking games on the market would be on the PC, but that award might be going to console exclusive Kingdom Hearts III later this year, which features CG rendering that's at times better than the original Toy Story movie.

Kingdom Hearts III features some of the characters and locations from the original Toy Story, so comparisons have been made between Woody and Buzz Lightyear, as well as the various environments in and around Andy's room. Toy Story was released in 1996, and at the time featured state of the art CGI, but now this is all being rendered in real-time, and at times better graphics/effects on a freakin' PS4.

Unreal Engine 4 powers Kingdom Hearts III, with some beautifully realistic lighting effects, and CG-level quality graphics that bring the world to life. Digital Foundry did one of their awesome breakdowns of Kingdom Hearts III and Toy Story, reporting: "Looking to the garden next, the lighting model in Unreal Engine 4's influence is felt heavily. Everything has a sense of depth; with grass properly shaded across the lawn. In fact, each tuft of grass moves underneath Sora's feet dynamically, a big upgrade over the static, rigid foliage geometry of the film".

Motorola has finally announced the Moto Z2 Force Edition.

The Z2 Force features a 5.5-inch display with ShatterShield, which is a layer of shatter resistant coating on top and runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor and comes with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage, expandable with a microSD card. On the back of the phone is a new dual camera system, consisting of two 12MP f2.0 cameras. The front shooter comes with 5MP.

Back in June, Huawei introduced the Honor 9 smartphone, and customers' feedback is mostly positive. It seems that the company wants to make another, improved version of this device.

The sources from China claim that Huawei is working on a phone named Honor Note 9. A photo of the alleged device has leaked showing a beautiful edge-to-edge display with a slim top and bottom bezels.

The phone doesn't appear to have a physical home button and dual rear camera setup. According to previous reports, the Honor Note 9 should feature Huawei's yet-to-be-announced Kirin 970 processor and come with 6GB of RAM, and at least 32GB of storage.

Japanese electronics-maker Sharp is planning a big TV-driven comeback in the United States, sources say.

In a bid to increase sales and expand market reach, overseas tech giant Sharp will roll out a new lineup of high-end TVs in North America. The new brand will consist of a premium line of television sets with new sound and image technologies, including LCD displays at resolutions up to 7680 × 4320 (8K). Sharp, who was the first to bring 8K TVs to market in 2015, affirms its new deluxe TV brand will sit above its previous Aquos and will only feature sets with 60-inch or larger screens.

The company has filed trademarks for the new brand and plans to roll out the net sets to North America in its Fiscal Year 2018 timeline, which begins in April 2018. Sharp has forecasted worldwide TV sales of 10 million units by the end of its fiscal 2018, and predicts the new premium line will bolster sales.
