The Spectator Mode crew and guest Baron from LV1 Gaming discuss the major news from the gaming industry this week. First up is the Xbox podcast business update that addressed the state of Xbox, its ongoing plans for going multiplatform (not that they aren’t already), and what we thought about the podcast. Then we jump over to the PlayStation side of things, as they also had some big news this week regarding its plans for ramping up its PS5/PC games, the PlayStation 5 not selling as much as Sony wanted, and the state of PlayStation. Then we discussed more gaming stuff, including physical vs. digital games, retro collecting, Dark Souls 2, and more.
