As Playstation announces (to its staff) that it is withdrawing from PC releases of single player games, the burning question regarding Xbox exclusivity rages on as Forza Horizon 6, the highest rated game of the year so far, that attains a massive 6 million players in just a matter of days, has people questioning whether Xbox even needs Playstation.

Forza Horizon 6 is an absolute dream and will be regarded as the best racer of this generation.

Playstation Woes 10.05.2026 2ч

Well contrary to the rather alarming leap in logic made by some corners of the internet, Playstation too is susceptible to market forces and component prices. Anyone with a working brain knows this but many were in denial. Now Sony has said that the PS6's fate is determined by the component prices. Add to that, Bungie's value continues to plummet marking just how terrible an acquisition it really was for Sony, Sony talks about really going all in on AI which is funny considering the vitriol directed at Microsoft for it. However, in other news, Saros reviews well, Mixtape is another critical hit but very divisive for some reason, Nintendo surprise reveals a new Star Fox game, Xbox has a new boot up animation and Forza Horizon 6 goes gold.

Xbox is taking 2026 very seriously. It looks like Asha Sharma is off to a good start by bringing Xbox Fanfest back.

Is Halo doomed again?!

Playstation Global Price Hike! 06.04.2026 2ч 16мин

I have been away for the last couple of weeks and boy has A LOT happened during those 2 weeks. The drama of this generation continues with all kinds of crazy developments. PlayStation has had a particularly tough week as it not only shuts down another studio it also rolls out a massive global price hike for its console that is almost 6 years old! This despite reassuring customers it wouldnt do so. Then the DLSS 5 debacle had the internet screaming "AI SLOP" almost in unison, Xbox ditched the This Is An Xbox campaign which was frankly, atrocious, Xbox had a partner showcase and Crimson Desert has divided everyone. Frankly, there are so many topics I'm not sure how I'm going to cover it all! Hence why today is a solo show. Brace thyself.

What an insane week for gaming! So much turmoil and drama.

Is PlayStation Phoning It In? 17.02.2026 2ч 35мин

The internet seems to suggest that Playstation's State of Play was actually a good show which is at odds with my impression of it and it suggests to me that Stockholm Syndrome has set in for many onlookers who have adjusted their expectations after successive bland Sony shows have now caused people to accept a lower standard from the market leader. But maybe I'm wrong? Playstation is getting more remakes and remasters of games and perhaps there is nothing wrong with that? Also God of War Sons of Sparda shadow-dropped and whilst this was a cause for much jubilation in the Playstation camp, perhaps the celebrations were premature? Well that's what the creator of God of War thinks. Join me to discuss all this and more!
