Who Won the Console War? [S02E08]

from Grumpy Old Gamer

The lads are back and there are four of them this time. Ian, Al, Tim, and Lucas dig into the big question: who actually won the console war? Spoiler: it's not complicated. Then things get interesting as the crew unpacks Phil Spencer's exit from Xbox, the arrival of Asha Sharma with her AI background and no games industry experience, Sony's quiet 180 on exclusivity, and what Project Helix plus Steam on Xbox might actually mean for the next round of the console wars. The Steam Machine gets a look-in too. Nobody holds back.
