Xbox shows its hand
Manage episode 272023956 series 1340359
This week, James, Brendan, Rebekah and Chris discuss the biggest news of the past week, which is, unsurprisingly, Xbox.
The platform holder announced its long-rumoured Xbox Series S model at $299, priced the Xbox Series X at $499, detailed the Xbox All Access payment plan for both models, gave a November 10 launch date, and revealed that the EA Play library will be added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate later this year.
With all the pieces in place for the launch of Microsoft's fourth console generation, we discuss how the platform holder is trying to reshape the business, who the audience for the Series S might be, and whether Sony might respond to the EA Play deal, among other things.
And then we somehow masterfully manage to steer the last third of the episode to talking about Nintendo.
As always, you can get the latest news, insight and analysis into the world behind video games at www.gamesindustry.biz.
