Description

On this episode of HfOH join Brandon, Kyle, Caleb, and Prince as they go over the budding (and never-ending) console war between Sony and Microsoft; discussing the history and tactics behind the conflict from the days of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Microsoft’s stance on innovating services in conjunction to Sony’s commitment to producing stellar exclusive titles, what the future looks like with ‘Games on Demand’ with Xbox Game Pass and the new tiered PlayStation Plus, whilst ultimately landing on the rampant acquisition of studios by Microsoft, and what this power play means to the future of the industry and beyond.
