A new report from a trusted gaming industry analyst projects PlayStation 6 to launch in 2028 and sell only four million units in its first calendar year on the market. When you consider that even PS3 managed to sell three and a half million units in a mere four months, well, it might be a tough row to hoe. And when you take into account that this analysis assumes PS6 will sell for between $600 and $800, Sony may be in for a rude awakening indeed. We discuss. Then again, other analysis paints a far rosier picture, at least as far as Grand Theft Auto VI pre-sales are concerned, where Sony will be raking it in by the many hundreds of millions in royalties alone. Other news this week includes EA's reversal on its controversial College Football 27 microtransactions, the dominance of Call of Duty: Black Ops I and II's PSN release, the delay of the upcoming first party fight stick FlexStrike, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation in dire need of a spokesperson? Does Crunchyroll's new approach with its subscription portend a dicey future for PSN? Have we ever lent a physical game to a friend (or someone else) and never received it back? Could Episode 420 mean throwing all caution to the wind?

From new finds to ongoing playthroughs, the duo breaks down what's been keeping their controllers busy. The news segment kicks off with Microsoft's latest legal setback as the company lost a lawsuit in a Brazilian court, raising questions about regional regulation and platform responsibility. They then shift to Steam's refund policies for games under the one‑hour return limit, highlighting a recent developer's experience that sparked debate about fairness, abuse, and consumer protection. Next, the conversation moves to Japan, where scalpers purchased One Piece magazines en masse due to a promotional card — another example of collectible culture colliding with opportunistic reselling. The guys then explore a big speculative question: Is the PS6 going digital‑only because it will be a handheld? They break down rumors, hardware trends, and whether Sony's future might lean toward a hybrid device. To wrap up the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features a review of Popcorn Rocket on PS4, as John and Ryan evaluate the quirky title's gameplay, charm, and current market value.

Sony streicht die Disc, Verbraucherschutz juckt niemanden, Hardware und Spiele werden immer teurer, und das alte Mantra "Disc rein und losspielen" gilt sowieso schon lange nicht mehr. Haben Konsolen wie die PS6 und die Xbox Helix überhaupt noch einen Daseinszweck - oder werden sie die letzten ihrer Art sein?

Tonight's questions: Will the PS6's price affect hardware sales? What advancements could next-gen consoles introduce? Should Xbox Game Pass change its pricing? Are gaming protests effective? How long will Nintendo manufacture Switch 1 for? Which studio should spin off from Sony? What is the meaning of Sharma's role in the Fed? What is your favorite Ace Combat 8? Which game has excessive lore? What hobby could replace gaming for you? Thanks as always to Shawn Daley for our intro and outro music.

Because honestly it does for me a little. I think it's wild GTA6, a digital-only game with no gameplay footage, is selling preorders like crazy. It's not gonna run out of stock. What if it comes out and is just mid or janky? If IGN gives it a 7 will someone burn down their offices? If GTA6 leads to more PS5 and Xboxes being sold, what's even the point of releasing a PS6 or Helix?jtlawbass: Has your favorite character or IP been made into a good game? If so, what was it? If not, what would your ideal game for that character or IP be? Daredevil is my favorite character, and obviously we've yet to have a good Daredevil game. My ideal DD game would be a mix of the new Spider-Man games with some investigation/detective work thrown in. It would be fun to have some Ace Attorney elements where you get to play as Matt in the courtroom, too.Tatertot96: What kind of gamer are you when it comes to getting stuck?

La polémica sobre el formato digital en los videojuegos está más recrudecida que nunca, pero... ¿pueden coexistir lo físico y lo digital? ¿Qué ventajas y desventajas tiene cada una? ¿De verdad tiene que desaparecer el formato físico? En este directo especial de crossover con la revista Pixels, José Luís Sanz entra al atrapo para darnos su versión. ¿De qué lado estás tú?
Does your dog buy digital? No? That's why. 0:00 - Gameplay footage? No, what's important is you pay full price for GTA VI now! 24:45 - The Steam Machine is expensive but hey, what else is new? 36:45 - To buy or not to buy a Switch 2. That is the question.

Sony und Microsoft haben die letzten Wochen viel dafür getan, Konsolen-, aber auch PC-Gamer gegen sich aufzubringen: Keine Sony-Single-Player-Spieler mehr für PC oder Xbox, keine Spiele auf Bluray-Disc mehr bei PlayStation ab 2028 (und damit die PS6 nur noch digital?) und bei Microsoft fliegen Tausende Entwickler und ganze Studios raus. Wohin die Marke Xbox (neu: XBOX) aktuell strebt, schein völlig offen. Wie schlecht ist die Entwicklung für Spieler? Max und Fabian haben ihre ganz eigene Meinung. Und wie seht ihr das? Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

It seems that no matter where one looks in the gaming industry, there's bad news on the horizon. Such is certainly the case with Sony, as the Japanese company announced two pieces of bad news concurrent to one another: That beginning in 2028, PlayStation hardware will no longer receive disc-based releases, and that by next summer, you will no longer be able to buy digital PS3 and Vita games. All things considered, the latter is a more understandable decision (after all, Sony tried to do this back in 2021 before pulling back), but the former situation has set the PlayStation fanbase alight in a way we've not seen since perhaps 2011, if not 2006, both extremely ominous years in the brand's history. We discuss both topics in great detail, incorporate a ton of your inquiries, and try to make sense of what's happening from every conceivable angle. There's other news this week, too, including Sony's stance on hardware subsidies, PlayStation's continuing commitment to the games-as-a-service sector, new roster additions for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Exodus' scrapping of its in-game character creator a sign of things to come? Why are some publishers and developers so secretive with sales figures? What potential ideas could emulate the interplay between EVE Online and Dust-514? Did Dustin answer the Dustin-signal that Colin sent into the atmospheric ether?

Sony has confirmed that beginning in 2028, new PlayStation releases will no longer receive physical disc versions. We discuss what this means for collectors, game preservation, retailers, and whether this is the first step toward an all-digital PlayStation future. We also break down Bungie's massive layoffs following the end of Destiny 2's content roadmap, what the studio's future looks like under Sony, and why Marathon has become one of PlayStation's biggest challenges. Plus, we discuss reports that Xbox has dropped funding for IO Interactive's Project Fantasy, PlayStation's next-generation hardware strategy, concerns surrounding PS6 pricing, declining PS5 sales, and what all of these developments mean for the future of the gaming industry. Join us for another week of PlayStation news, industry analysis, and everything happening across the world of gaming.

¡Apoya Reconectados, decide y participa en todos los sorteos! ✅ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/reconectados Tal vez, uno de los programas más tristes sobre videojuegos que hemos hecho nunca, y también de los más importantes. PlayStation ha decidido terminar con sus juegos en formato físico. El anuncio se ha producido a través de una nota de prensa que ha pillado a todo el mundo por sorpresa, incluidas, seguramente, divisiones periféricas de la compañía alrededor de todo el mundo. Tras el anuncio de que Rockstar no iba a sacar GTA VI en disco en las cajas, PlayStation decide que a partir de enero de 2028 dejará de ofrecer videojuegos en disco, aunque todavía se podrán adquirir sus títulos en las tiendas en una manera caja de plástico vacía con un código de descarga en su interior. Con esta decisión, PlayStation encabeza el fin del formato físico tradicional y priva a sus jugadores de elegir, también con PS6 que vendrá sin lector, cómo, de qué manera, en qué tienda y a qué precio comprar sus videojuegos. Y Xbox no se queda corta estos días tampoco, a los tan probables cierres de Double Fine, Ninja Theory o Compulsion Games, ahora se suma el estudio de Dishonored, Prey y el nuevo Marvel's Blade, los franceses Arkane Studios, también en la cuerda floja junto a muchos otros que os comentamos. Malos tiempos para la industria del videojuego y para los consoleros, ¿tú también lo eres? Cuéntanoslo en comentarios. ¡Hasta la semana que viene!

As the video game world digests Sony's shock decision to kill video game discs on PlayStation consoles starting January 2028, analysts believe it sends a strong signal about the PS6 — including when it will come out. Plus, Microsoft is sending notifications out to Xbox Game Pass members reminding them that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 won't be in the subscription service this year. So if they want to play the game at launch, they'll have to buy it. Daemon has all that and more on your Daily Fix!

Introduzione e Location Speciale Il trio composto da Pierpaolo, Alessio e Francesco si ritrova in una location insolita: uno stabilimento balneare a Passo Scuro, sulla costa laziale. La puntata speciale del "Cortocircuito" si svolge durante un pranzo a base di pesce, tra scherzi sull'audio basso e problemi tecnici di connessione legati allo streaming all'aperto.Aumento Prezzi Apple e Strategie Microsoft Il dibattito si accende sull'improvviso aumento dei prezzi dei prodotti Apple (MacBook, Mac Mini, HomePod) avvenuto senza preavviso. Si discute della legalità di cambiare i preventivi già emessi e si confronta questa mossa con gli aumenti di Microsoft per le console Xbox e le strategie di prezzo di Nintendo, analizzando l'impatto sul mercato PC e console.Il Futuro dell'Hardware e del Gaming Viene analizzato il mercato dell'hardware PC, con particolare attenzione ai prezzi delle RAM e alla crisi di componenti che non accenna a tornare ai livelli pre-2025. Si parla di Steam Machine, dell'ottimizzazione del software come alternativa alla potenza bruta e delle prospettive per le console di prossima generazione (PS6, Project Helix).Cinema, Serie TV e Reality Il trio condivide opinioni su film recenti come "Marty Supreme" (giudicato molto negativamente) e serie TV. Il discorso vira poi sui reality show italiani come Temptation Island e Amici, discutendo sulla loro veridicità, sul ruolo degli autori e sulla percezione sociale di questi programmi, includendo aneddoti personali su provini falliti.Intelligenza Artificiale e Sviluppo Videogiochi Un tema centrale è l'uso dell'IA generativa nell'industria del gaming. Si discute dell'etica delle "etichette AI" su Steam, della scomparsa dei ruoli "junior" sostituiti dall'automazione e di come l'IA cambierà radicalmente la produzione di asset (come alberi o texture) e il doppiaggio nei giochi futuri.Crisi degli Studi e Acquisizioni Si analizza la situazione critica di studi storici come Bungie (licenziamenti massicci e futuro incerto per Marathon), Double Fine e Obsidian. Il gruppo riflette sulla sostenibilità dei "Live Service" e sugli errori di gestione di Sony (era Jim Ryan) e Microsoft nel gestire i propri team interni.Consigli Finanziari e Chiusura In chiusura, Alessio e il gruppo analizzano l'andamento dei mercati finanziari e delle criptovalute. Si parla del crollo di titoli tech come ARM, delle prospettive di SpaceX sotto la soglia dei 150 dollari e dell'instabilità del Bitcoin, il tutto mentre la batteria del PC che trasmette la live sta per esaurirsi.
The Gi crew talk the Steam Machine's pricing, GTA 6 being $100, PS6 being over $1000, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Xenoverse 3, Beast of Reincarnation and more!

Email us your questions and topic ideas to the podcast here.Support Boss Rush on Patreon.Gaming hardware pricing might be entering a new reality where $1,000 consoles are no longer unthinkable. In this episode of the Boss Rush Podcast, Corey Dirrig and LeRon Dawkins break down Valve's shockingly expensive Steam Machine and what it signals for the future of PS6 and Xbox Helix pricing, including whether next-gen systems could realistically cross the four-figure line. They also dive into Rockstar's decision to ship GTA 6 without a disc version at launch and what it says about the industry's accelerating shift to digital-first distribution. Finally, they explore Shinji Mikami's comments on game design in the streaming era and whether modern games are losing the “must play” factor. It's a wide-ranging discussion on where gaming hardware and design philosophy are headed next.This and more on the Boss Rush Podcast.

Welkom bij Gamekings Daily. De gaming vodcast waarin twee hosts van Gamekings de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van de videogames bespreken. Het is vandaag maandag en Koos en Jasper nemen plaats achter de desk. Zij bespreken samen het laatste nieuws. Zo was daar een bekende insider die veel weet van PlayStation en de hardware. Hij gaf aan dat de prijs voor het produceren van de PS6, naar de huidige maatstaven, inmiddels al op 970 euro staat. Is dat het einde van de prijsverhoging en moet PlayStation het wel willen om zo'n dure console op de markt te zetten? Dit onderwerp en meer ga je zien en horen in de GK Daily van maandag 29 juni 2026. Gaan we straks inderdaad €1000 betalen voor een PS6 Een ander, een stuk vrolijker stemmend onderwerp is de veertigjarige verjaardag van Bethesda. Behoren de Amerikanen tot een van onze favoriete developers? En wat is de favoriete game van Bethesda van de beide heren? Een pittige vraag, want er zijn een hoop leuke titels om uit te kiezen. Wat denk je bijvoorbeeld van het rijtje The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3 en Fallout 4, Dishonored 2, Prey en DOOM? Geef in de comments vooral aan wat voor jou de beste Bethesda game ooit was. Scoor 15% korting op alle laptops van Lenovo met code GAMEKINGS Lenovo is de vaste partner van Gamekings Daily.

This episode is a discussion inspired by Mystic on Youtube. He recently made a video about why Sony can't/won't delay the release of the PS6. You can watch that video, here. What's it boil down to? Sunk cost. They already spent all the time and money to bring it to market, stopping now won't actually save them anything and can only cost them more. Personally, I think that's a fallacy, but Matt sees the logic of the argument. Additionally, we talk the steam machine, Xbox next gen, and more!

To start this off I need to thank all of you for listening over the years and being as supportive as you've always been. And to specifically thank Dave, Sarah, & Bryan. We have hosting costs coming up next month and their generosity has gone further than I ever expected to make that possible. This is what was talked about at the beginning of the show and before the first hour was done, we'd already made our goal – thank you each from the bottom of our heart and thank you all for your continued support of this show. As for the news, that's about the only happy news we have. I mean, yeah, we cover some more of all the games shown off last week, but then we talk about more closings and people losing their jobs – at both Ubisoft and Microsoft. That and what's to come for PC and console players alike – which is more price increases. And the outlook for how they'll go about selling you a brand new Xbox or PS6. While no one has announced prices yet, I think it's mainly because, right now, at this point in time with the way things are price wise, you'd be asking A LOT from your consumers. We're likely talking 4-digit prices or the whole 999 thing. I miss building PCs. That fun little hobby done every several years or so has evidently faded away as well given the prices of components. Oh, I completely forgot about the “no shows” of our big games reveal week – and at the top of that list you have ONE guess as to what I'm talking about. Ubisoft…it's been 4,682 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 3,300 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

The Game Deflators break down new pickups, big gaming news, PS6 backwards compatibility rumors, a Steam Deck price jump, and a retro review of Woody Woodpecker on PS2. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 03:34 Game Pickups and Retro Game Books 06:45 Magic Card Collection and Trading Insights 09:44 Valkyrie Profile Gameplay Experience 12:40 Saros Game Review and Gameplay Mechanics 15:33 Upcoming Game Releases and Personal Gaming Plans 18:51 Microsoft's Exclusive Titles and Banjo Kazooie Nostalgia 35:39 Nostalgia and Character Development in Gaming 37:38 The Future of Xbox Exclusives 40:46 Lenovo's Controversial Handheld Console 47:45 Steam Deck Price Hike and Market Impact 54:43 PlayStation 6 and Backward Compatibility 59:42 Woody Woodpecker Game Review and Nostalgia 01:11:12 Outro John and Ryan return with a fresh round of gaming talk, starting with new pickups from RetroGameBooks.com and a look at what each host has been playing. John is closing in on the finale of Valkyrie Profile, while Ryan celebrates completing Saros and shares thoughts on its final stretch. The conversation shifts to community sentiment as Xbox players voice a growing desire for a revival of Banjo Kazooie. The guys break down why the franchise still resonates and whether Microsoft might finally listen. From there, the episode takes a sharp turn into hardware drama. Lenovo has pulled a handheld device that shipped preloaded with Nintendo and Sega games, raising questions about licensing, oversight, and how something like this makes it to market. The Steam Deck also enters the spotlight after a major price hike that has players debating value, timing, and Valve's long‑term strategy. PlayStation rumors heat up as reports suggest the PS6 could support PS3 titles thanks to a new CPU design. John and Ryan explore what this could mean for backward compatibility and how it might reshape Sony's next generation. To wrap up the show, the Inflation Deflation Challenge features a retro review of Woody Woodpecker: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park on the PS2. The guys revisit its chaotic platforming, oddball charm, and current market value to decide whether it still holds up.

What a week! On the back of Colin's PSN account being temporarily hijacked by nefarious forces, we have an enormous amount to get through for our ever-eager audience. We dissect what happened, why it happened, how we've been communicating with Sony to try and convince them to fix the major issues plaguing their online service, and what we feel you should do to protect yourself. But understand this, and understand it well: PSN's security is a complete joke. All an outsider needs to get access to your account is an email address and mundane information like the date you made a random purchase, and they'll give your account to basically anyone. Your password doesn't matter, your 2FA doesn't matter, and your passkey doesn't matter. To repeat: Your password doesn't matter, your 2FA doesn't matter, and your passkey doesn't matter. And if you want more proof, someone in our audience reset two of his own accounts back-to-back with PlayStation's hilariously-deficient (and potentially-compromised) third world customer service call centers, just to make the point. Sony must make serious changes and reunite people with their stolen PSN accounts, and we intend on pressing until they do. We are your loyal and dedicated customers. Remember? Other news this week includes the announcement of a fresh State of Play in early June, confirmation that PlayStation will no longer release its single-player games on PC, the official end of Destiny 2, the renaming of Fairgames, rumors of a return of Infamous, an increase in PS+ pricing, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Could Shuhei Yoshida ever return to PlayStation? Why have mergers and acquisitions dramatically slowed down in the games industry?
