Defining Duke, Episode 204 | Xbox vs PlayStation - The Handheld Wars Are ON!

Recently, it was confirmed that an Xbox handheld is in development, but now Bloomberg has suggested that PlayStation is working on their own too. With the rise of PS Plus and streaming, PlayStation is slimming down the gap between them and X...

Friends, we gather once more for a discussion of the ages! Oh, pardon me, I mean DRAGON AGES. Joining me (Matty) for this highly anticipated discussion is none other than Gene Park and Hoeg Law. What happens when a lifelong BioWare stan clashes with two fine gentlemen who ended up on the positive side of this otherwise controversial game? A three hour marathon of debates on all things across the game's myriad of "choices," its gameplay structure, and what an ideal Veilguard even looks like in...

I (Colin) am very, very pleased to welcome Eddie -- also known as Obsolete Sony -- to Sacred Symbols+, along with returning guest Sandeep Rai, a writer and entrepreneur with a growing catalog of Kickstarter successes. If you're not familiar with Obsolete Sony, it's Eddie's remarkable Twitter/X account (as well as a Substack, IG, and more) dedicated to the storied history of the Sony brand, and it has attracted a legion of followers because of the quality and depth of its output.

2024-11-22 17:01:32 +0000 UTC View PostSacred Symbols, Episode 334 | Kadokawacquisition?
The industry was recently set alight by a pair of articles from newswire Reuters indicating that Sony is interested in buying Japanese media conglomerate Kadokawa Corporation, and indeed, Kadokawa itself has since confirmed the reporting. Such a move has massive implications for Sony's increasing dominance in the anime and manga spaces, and it's likely this attempt at M&A is squarely focused on that first and foremost. But acquiring Kadokawa could be a huge boon for the PlayStation brand,...

Contrary to their usual behavior, Xbox's communication has left no room for guessing as of late. In a recent marketing campaign titled "This Is An Xbox," the team showed a plethora of devices that you can access the Xbox ecosystem from. Following our conversation about Phil Spencer's interview with Bloomberg, the message already seemed clear that multi-platform is the future. Now, that messgae is crystal clear and there is no going back. The Dukes dive into the meaning behind this ad and, of ...

With profits falling and first party game releases scarce, it seemed like PlayStation's positive commercial situation may have been softening. But Sony's newest financial report illustrates a rosy picture, with ballooning sales, impressive margins, and a brighter software-driven future that promises more of the brand's bread-and-butter: First party, single-player AAA fare. With a temporary PS5 price cut now instituted, rumors of Guerrilla's Horizon Online targeting a 2025 release date, and so...
