Though the PS4 didn’t make the list, it’s worth noting that this doesn’t necessarily give an indication of popularity. The difference could be the result of any number of factors, such as larger game downloads for exclusives. Whatever the case, it’s an interesting tidbit.

There is even a collection of free essays on cultural identity by Eduzaurus, and some of these free essay samples state that there is a huge connection between culture and Technology and that Technology influences cultural identity as much as culture influences the advancement of Technology. Technology has shrunk the globe and entwined culture with the internet, which resulted in the loss of culture....

The device itself was released back in September 2015 and was among the last Nokia branded Lumia. By time Verizon picked it up, the carrier had replaced Nokia with Microsoft. Either way, the company was not giving the modest handset a big sell, and only offered it in black....

The stats say three made up an impressive 86% of the market in the third quarter of 2017.
