With the unveiling of the PlayStation 5 Pro and rumors that the long-anticipated Nintendo Switch successor and Xbox Series S | X follow-up are just around the corner, now seems like the perfect time to take a closer look at the future of these companies and console gaming as a whole.
In this week’s episode of Spot On, Tam and Lucy sit down to do precisely that, discussing not only their thoughts on the companies current trajectories, but what public opinion seems to be as well. Is the PlayStation 5’s $700 price tag an indication of what consoles will soon cost? Are the ROG Ally and Steam Deck reasons for Nintendo to be concerned about the success of its next console? And which company is more likely to release a console with a new “gimmick” if the Switch 2 forgoes introducing a new feature? The pair tackle all these questions and more as they speculate what the future of console gaming looks like.
