console wars

Could this be the end of Xbox consoles? On this episode of 'A Gaming Moment,' hosts Daygon and WildTwinsFan discuss shocking reports that Microsoft is considering halting hardware production following abysmal Xbox sales. They analyze rumors that first-party exclusives like Starfield and Gears of War may release on PlayStation. What's the logic behind Microsoft's potential strategy shift? Tune in as our hosts debate whether focusing on game pass and becoming a third-party publisher spells the end of Xbox's future in console gaming. In banter, we give initial impressions of new game Project Quarantine and discuss the Epic Games-Disney partnership. The gaming and streaming community won't want to miss this bombshell episode!

Welcome to another episode of the RetroPod, where this week we conclude the SegaGuys "Console Wars" trilogy by sitting down with the author of the brilliant book and the brains behind the CBS documentary, Blake J. Harris.

We pack plenty into this hour long chat as we discuss Blake's gaming roots, his influences (and challenges) while researching and writing the book, delve into the artwork behind the documentary, and get the lowdown on how the SEGA (good guy) vs. Nintendo (bad guy) narrative came to be.

We hope you enjoy this episode, and many thanks to Blake for giving us his time. We look forward to welcoming you back on soon.

You can find Blake on Twitter @blakejharrisNYC.
