The Weekly Stuff #492 - The Future of Xbox, Fantastic Four, Persona, Like a Dragon & More!

After weeks of breathless speculation, Xbox unveiled some relatively minor details about the multiplatform future vision of the brand, which prompts us to have an in-depth conversation about where Xbox is going and why the current strategy feels at odds with their oft-stated long-term goals. We also discuss Marvel’s unveiling of their new Fantastic Four cast, Jonathan talks about watching Solo Leveling and playing Modern Warfare III, and we conclude with a check-in on the giant JRPGs we’re both playing, Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Enjoy! Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:07:43Stuff: 0:07:43 – 0:24:34Fantastic Four News: 0:24:34 – 0:45:21Xbox & Gaming News: 0:45:21 – 1:35:20Persona: 1:35:20 – 1:46:32Like a Dragon: 1:46:32 – 2:10:51Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffRead the book 200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
