Episode 352: The Console Wars have ended
February 6th, 2025 | 1 hr 9 mins
AI, Dragon Age, EA, Hulu, MCU, Netflix, Star Wars, TV, Xbox, age of empires, avengers doomsday, battlefield, bioware, buffy, buffy the vampire slayer, capcom, captain america, chris evans, clair obscur, dice, disney+, dr disrespect, fantastic 4, forza horizon, forza horizon 5, forza motorsport, gaming, geek, indiana jones, jcvd, jurassic park, jurassic world, jurassic world rebirth, kickboxer, madden, mass effect, matthew lillard, mobile suit gundam, monster hunter wilds, movies, multiversus, nerd, nic cage, nintendo gamecube, nintendo switch 2, oscar isaac, playstation 5, pokémon, pokémon tcg pocket, ps5, scream, scream 7, simu liu, sleeping dogs, space world, squid game, steam, tariffs, video games, wb interactive, xbox game studios
Yes that's right, I'm declaring an end to the console wars, and its end comes with Forza heading to PS5. They end not with a bang, but a whimper. Also Multiversus fails to capture any market share from Super Smash Bros, and is shutting down after a year. Both Fantastic Four and Jurassic World Rebirth drop some serious trailers. And EA faces and interesting future. While Disney+ loses almost a million subs, and Buffy is returning to a screen near you.

How about that Superman Trailer....people need to chill. Is Bioware doomed? Is Xbox really going to change to publishing? The Oscars controversy continues, and Robert Eggers is heading to the land of Labyrinth, which I miss David Bowie even more. Also Fans need to chill, for real....
