From backwards compatibility, to dissension among their studios, to allowing players to download broken games, things aren't all sunshine and lollipops in Playstation land. Are they feeling the heat? Is this turning into a replay of the Playstation 3 launch, where they stumbled out of the gate? Or are they too powerful for any of this to matter? Let's talk about it.

For some reason, there's an ass load of 'Studio X is working on a secret game' news this week, so we talk about it. On one hand, having only rumour and speculation sucks.

Amazon is getting into gaming! Is it going to work? I think it'll be better off than the Google Stadia, anyways. We look at what they're bringing to the table on this week's show. We also talk about how CD Projekt Red is telling their employees to work overtime leading up to the release of Cyberpunk 2077, and what a polarizing move it is among gamers.

Microsoft owns Bethesda, and I suppose we should talk about it. I actually dedicated the first section of the show specifically to that news. I break down the story, what we know, share your thoughts, and tell you what I think this means for gaming. Once that's done, we get into the rest of the news. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S preorders went live and broke the internet. Sony will allow most PS4 games to run on the PS5, and some PS5 games to run on the PS4... Also, expanding your memory on the Xbox Series X and S might not be cheap. Nintendo is retiring the 3DS/2DS, so we share some memories of the little clamshell that could.

So the good news is that Microsoft gave us lots to talk about. Nintendo has some news as well, and there's a bunch of multi-console stuff to look at. The bad news is that if you're a Playstation fan, the cupboard is pretttttyyy bare this week. We have pricing and release dates for the Xbox Series X and Series S, so obviously we're focusing on that. EA Play is being added to Gamepass, which is insane! Nintendo announced a prequel to Breath of the Wild (kinda) which is cool, and there's more fallout from the Mario 35th Anniversary Direct from last week. And Playstation is releasing a remote to work streaming services on the PS5. Naturally, we don't know how much it will cost.
