Emmett joins me again this week to discuss a HEAVY episode. We have some Sony financials to discuss, the Xbox business update, and a lot more. Hiroki Totoki, interim Head of PlayStation, has some straightforward and clear messaging about what he thinks about the PlayStation division. Xbox tells us how they are justifying going to a third party. And Switch 2 may have been delayed past this year. Finally we have some deep conversations around these topics like overspending in the games industry to the point many high profile games are afraid to start original and instead go for an adaption to help spike the initial sells and interest. Its funny I have barely touched on what is in the episode so I will leave you to watch and think about. Make sure, if you have the time and inclination, to leave a comment or talk to me on Twitter about your thoughts on the show and any disagreements you may have. Thank you for your time today and I will see you next week!
