This is Episode 71 of the Pretty Good Gaming Podcast, which went live early to our Patreon Supporters on Thursday, July 12th. This week, the lads discuss Sony’s next moves with Playstation after what has been an excellent couple of years for Microsoft with the Xbox. Also, what’s next for Nintendo? Will they continue to revolutionise their consoles after the Switch, or stick to what’s been a success, and how do our gaming habits change as we age?
