TJ Beckham @PvttJebus: With recent news on how Jedi: Fallen Order surpassed sales expectations, EA may be looking to bring the Galaxy far far away to new genres.

What style of game would you like to see a star wars adaption, similar to how Fallen Order took a 'SoulsBorune' approach.

Ben @deadlock_2121: With the new Xbox being the more powerful of the two next gen consoles how much of a price difference do you think there can be and Microsoft still be competitive?

Edward Varnell @thatretrocode: Do you miss the first party sports games and what do you envision them if they were still around?

Secret Friends Unite and Co-op Mode @SecretFriendsU: Every generation sees new innovations in genres. This gen we had roguelikes, battle totaled and shared world games.

What genres would you like to see really take off on Super

Edward Varnell @theretrocode - Could Mixer be bigger on Switch or would Mixer push more Switch sales faster?

Todd Oxtra @toxtra What enhancements you like to be added to the Series X controller? I think bottom buttons should be a standard input next gen. Power A has already added them to the Switch wireless controllers along with the DS4 attachment. I don't think it needs to be stranded on a $180 device.

Donnie [PSVG] @PlayinNintendo: Have you guys seen these rumors suggesting the SSD in the PS5 is twice as fast as the SSD in the Series-X? If true do you think it will hold games back on Series X or be a point of contention when the boxes inevitably are compared against each other later this year?

Cruise Control - Topic of the Show

What is the REAL need to upgrade on launch day for Series X. Is there something Microsoft isn’t telling us? A new feature that will be exclusive?
