    American cutting flights from NY, DC after merger

    DATELINE: DALLAS

    DALLAS (AP) - American Airlines and US Airways will drop year-round, daily nonstop flights from Washington's Reagan National Airport to Detroit, San Diego and 15 other cities because of the deal they made to win government approval of their merger.
    They will also end nonstop flights from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Atlanta, Cleveland and Minneapolis but will add service from LaGuardia to 10 other cities.
    The combined company, American Airlines Group Inc., announced the changes Wednesday.
    American and US Airways agreed in November to give up the space at Reagan and LaGuardia and a few gates at five other major airports. In exchange, the U.S. Justice Department dropped an antitrust lawsuit that threatened to derail their merger, which created the world's biggest airline operator.
    Slots at Reagan and New York-area airports are limited, making them valuable when they become available. Southwest Airlines and Virgin America won the rights to buy the LaGuardia slots. An announcement is expected soon on who will get the Reagan slots and what cities they'll serve with them.
    American and US Airways will remain major carriers at Reagan and LaGuardia.
    Henry Harteveldt, a travel-industry analyst for consulting firm Hudson Crossing, noted that American is pulling out of several nonstop routes also flown by rival Delta Air Lines Inc., including Reagan to Atlanta, Detroit and Minneapolis and LaGuardia to Atlanta. At the same time, American will add a second daily nonstop between Washington and Los Angeles, and start new service to New York from secondary markets.
    "This is American creating a truce with Delta," he said. "It's a smart move ... where you're not as strong, move your assets."
    American's chief marketing officer, Andrew Nocella, said the changes were designed to minimize the effect of slot losses on service to smaller cities. He said the new combined airline "will fly more customers to more places than ever before."
    Besides Detroit and San Diego, daily nonstops by American and US Airways will end between Reagan and Minneapolis; Montreal; Augusta and Savannah, Ga.; Fayetteville and Jacksonville, N.C.; Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola and Tallahassee, Fla.; Islip, N.Y.; Little Rock, Ark.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Nassau, Bahamas; and Omaha, Neb. It will switch from year-round to only seasonal flying to Fort Myers, Fla.
    The company said dates for the changes would be announced in coming weeks. Travelers in those cities will have to fly through another American or US Airways hub city - or take another airline -to reach Washington.
    Service will be added beginning April 1 between LaGuardia and Charlottesville, Norfolk, Richmond and Roanoke, Va.; Little Rock; Dayton, Ohio; Louisville, Ky.; Greensboro and Wilmington, N.C.; and Knoxville, Tenn.
    Shares of American Airlines Group Inc. fell 3 cents to close at $28.84.

    Xbox One Outsells PS4 in U.S. on NPD Report, Sony Claims Otherwise

    BYLINE: Lorenzo Tanos

    Jan 17, 2014 (Highlight Press:http://highlightpress.com Delivered by Newstex)
    http://www.highlightpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/0114-Xbox-One1.jpgAlthough recent sales figures suggest that Sony's PlayStation 4 has outsold the Xbox One so far, recent figures from market research firm NPD suggest the opposite, at least as far as the U.S. is concerned.

    According to NPD, Microsoft's video game consoles had a successful December 2013, as the Xbox One sold a total of 908,000 units, while the previous-generation Xbox 360 sold 643,000. Together, Microsoft's two newest consoles took up 46 percent of the video game hardware space in the U.S., collectively outdoing Sony's PlayStation consoles. In addition, NPD revealed this week that Xbox One titles made up six out of the top ten best-selling video game titles for the month of December.
    As it turns out, it looks like the Xbox One and PS4 are on a similar path as the Xbox 360 and PS3 before them; in the previous generation, the PlayStation 3 was a better seller in Europe and the dominating console in the Japanese market, while the Xbox 360 was more popular among American consumers. While this all adds up to the PS4 still leading the Xbox One on a global level, largely due to its slight specs advantage and cheaper price point, it looks like Microsoft has a bit of an edge in home territory.
    Quite expectedly, that's not the way Sony sees it, as a company spokesperson told GamesBeat recently that the PS4 was the 'cumulative leader for next-gen console sales in the U.S. since its (release date) on November 15.' According to Sony's Dan Race, Sony 'sold every PS4 available at retail in the U.S. and were out of stock in December due to overwhelming consumer demand.' At any rate, the main takeaway from all of this is that the Xbox One and PS4, regardless of which console you prefer, have both revitalized the console gaming space since their release.
