In this episode of the Nerd Nest podcast, we focus on Sony's shift from hardware to a platform-based model, the unique position of Nintendo, and handheld gaming by Xbox. We also delve into the impact of indie games, focusing on Mina the Hollower, a new title from Yacht Club Games. And we discuss the impact of leaks and misinformation in the gaming industry.

This episode is going to be a bit different, It's just me rounding up the news solo, but I figured since I put it on YouTube, I could drop it on my podcast feed as well, If you hate this idea, hop on the community discord and let me know.
