The results of our semantic analysis are shown below using the website's language.

They are the main concepts covered by gamespot.com.

Each concept has a confidence score. The higher it is, the more important the topic is relative to the page.

Topics
Xbox One Confidence: 91% Arrow up

The Xbox One is a home video game console developed by Microsoft.

Announced in May 2013, it is the successor to the Xbox 360 and the third console in the Xbox family, and was released in North America, Europe (in some countries), Australia, and Brazil in November 2013, and in Japan, China, and other European countries in September 2014.

It is the first Xbox game console to be released in China, specifically in the Shanghai Free-Trade Zone.

Microsoft marketed the device as an "all-in-one entertainment system".

The Xbox One mainly competes against consoles such as Sony's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo's Wii U as part of the eighth generation of video game consoles.

GameSpot Confidence: 91% Arrow up

GameSpot is a video gaming website that provides news, reviews, previews, downloads, and other information on video games.

The site was launched on May 1, 1996, created by Pete Deemer, Vince Broady and Jon Epstein.

It was purchased by ZDNet, a brand which was later purchased by CNET Networks.

CBS Interactive, which purchased CNET Networks in 2008, is the current owner of GameSpot.

Nintendo Switch Confidence: 91% Arrow up

The Nintendo Switch is the seventh major home video game console developed by Nintendo.

Known in development as the NX, it was unveiled in October 2016, and was released worldwide on March 3, 2017.

Nintendo considers the Switch a "hybrid" console; it is designed primarily as a home console, with the main unit inserted onto a docking station to connect to a television.

Alternatively, it can be removed from the dock and used similarly to a tablet computer through its LCD touchscreen, or placed in a standalone tabletop mode playable by several people.

The Switch's most distinguishable features are the Joy-Con wireless controllers, which include standard buttons and a directional joystick for user input, motion sensing, and high-definition tactile feedback.

The Joy-Con can attach to both sides of the console to support handheld-style play, connect to a Grip accessory to provide a traditional home console gamepad form, or be used individually in the hand like the Wii Remote.

The Switch supports both physical flash ROM cartridges and digital content for games and software, and does not use region locking.

PlayStation 4 Confidence: 77% Arrow up

The PlayStation 4 (abbreviated as PS4) is a home video game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment.

Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 3 during a press conference on February 20, 2013, it was launched on November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, South America and Australia, and February 22, 2014, in Japan.

It competes with Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox One, as part of the eighth generation of video game consoles.

Google Confidence: 73% Arrow up

Google is an American multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products.

These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, software, and hardware.
