Episode 352: The Console Wars have ended

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.
