On this episode of Playconomics, Bobby and Matt breakdown the business behind your favorite video games and provide you financial context for this week's industry trends. Starting the show off with a major acquisition the boys discuss Sega buying the company that owns the Angry Bird IP. We discuss whether or not Sega has a billion dollars and why this purchase is 7-10 years too late. We switch topics to the rumored Call of Duty replacement Xdefinant. Will Xdefinant be 2023's best FPS, prob not, but honestly who knows (Bobby and Matt do). Bobby goes on a rant about how Nintendo ruins Gary Bowsers life (rightfully so? maybe, extremely ruthless? Definitely!). Matt discusses how unimpressed he is that an X-halo lead is joining Netflix gaming. The Boys close the show discuss Sony's purchase of FireHawk, and Matt explains the undisputed truth as to why Sony really doesn't want Xbox to purchase ABK.

In this episode of Playconomics Matt and Bobby discuss the hottest video game news trending today. The sales numbers are out for opening weekend of The Mario Movie and it was confirmed an absolute blockbuster of a weekend. Bobby coins the term NCU (Nintendo Cinematic Universe) as we discuss what Nintendo character will get a movie next. Staying on the Nintendo train, Bobby and Matt discuss the 3rd and final Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom trailer and what will ultimately be another massive success that under delivers on our hopes and dreams. Speaking of our hopes and dreams, Matt needs to come to terms with the fact the Redfall news continues to be grim as it will release at 30 fps AND compete with Zelda which releases 10 days after Redfall. The boys round the show out by discussing the absolute masterpiece that was shown during the Sony State of Play... Final Fantasy 16!

In this episode, Bobby and Matt dive into the latest news in the gaming industry. They discuss Amazon's recent layoffs in its gaming divisions and what it means for the industry. They also explore the rumors surrounding Sony's new handheld gaming device and what it could mean for the future of gaming.

In this episode of Playconomics the boys discuss all of the hottest gaming news that happened over the past week.

E3 has been canceled for 2023! Matt and Bobby discuss why this happened and what can be done to make E3 great again.

RE4 Remake has been selling absolutely staggering numbers and we tell you the good, the bad, and the undead about this almost flawless remake.

PSVR2 sales numbers are hilariously underperforming, what can Sony do to make this product sell? Paul Tassi from Forbes thinks that unless Sony drastically cuts the price, PSVR2 will continue to sit on shelves in stores. Netflix re-enters the video game conversation with a rumor about using your phone as a controller. As Blizzard once famously said… you have a phone right? Matt and Bobby discuss why Nintendo is in trouble if Netflix makes this break into the video game world.

Finally we end the show (as usual) with an Microsoft/ABK acquisition. Bobby Kotick is trying to save face and throw shade at Sony all at the same time. We also discuss some outlandish Gamepass comparison from Chris Charla, and end the segment with a little update on the Blizzard/Netease split.

Bobby and Matt give you a quick rundown of the latest news in the gaming industry. They start with the rumor mill surrounding the PS5 Pro and discuss what this could mean for gamers. Then they move on to the recent season 1 finale ratings of "The Last of Us" TV show and talk about the viewership numbers. They also touch on the topic of job market in the gaming industry, particularly with the news of Meta's massive layoff and the job openings at Nintendo for NFT knowledge. Lastly, they discuss Microsoft's confirmation of their absence at E3 and their recent deal with Activision for Call of Duty exclusivity, as well as the Boosteroid cloud gaming platform. Tune in for all this and more in this week's gaming news roundup!

The Playconomics Boys recep the biggest Gaming Industry news from the previous week and provide you SWEET SWEET Financial Context for these Industry Trends. Forspoken's sales numbers are finally out and Square Enix confirms that not only did this game review bad; it caused a developer to dissolve back into it's parent company. After being shown at the Sony State of Play, Suicide Squad is now being delayed in order to attempt to fix fundamental issues that were glaring low points during the presentation. Is this game redeemable at this point? How much money have they thrown away trying to make this game? Starfield FINALLY gets a release date (Sept 6th) and a dedicated showcase in June. Starfield being one of, if not the most anticipated games over the last few years will 100% be a make or break title Xbox this generation. Finally we close the show with the latest updates on the Microsoft/ABK acquisition and discuss the best and worst case scenarios. Bobby looks into his crystal ball and sees 2 futures, one where the deal goes through and one where it does not and things look starkly different for ABK depending on the outcome. Also we have to explain that Jim Ryan's comments about trying to block the merger are obvious because Microsoft is a direct competitor

Bobby & Matt break down Microsoft's recent press conference in Brussels, where they revealed exciting news about their plans for Activision Blizzard. We analyze the implications of this move for the gaming industry, including the video game console market in Europe.

Next, we examine the details of a recent hearing held by the European Commission, where Microsoft and Sony were both present. We discuss the potential impact of the hearing on the Microsoft Sony deal, and whether it will affect the business relations between the two gaming giants.

We also talk about the recent announcement of Call of Duty being brought to the Switch by Microsoft, Nintendo, and Activision. We explore the implications of this move, including its potential impact on the gaming industry and the competition between Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.

In this weeks episode of Playconomics:

We welcome back Bobby as he has finally broken free from the CIA black site that he was being held in. Somehow during his time locked up he managed to stay on top of video game news. The only thing that kept him going was the need to provide sweet sweet financial context for industry trends.

Matt makes a plea to the SEC to keep Faze clan listed on the Stock Exchange even though they have been under a dollar for (at time of recording) 17 days. Bobby doubles down on the fact that Faze does not provide a service/product and cannot win... Matt disagrees with his heart.

Nintendo gives employees a 10% raise as they are trying to keep their talent. As other tech/gaming companies are laying people off Nintendo knows it is literally indestructible and recession proof. They know that Matt will continue to buy endless copies of Pokémon/Fire Emblem/Zelda/ Metroid Prime/ and pretty much anything else that Nintendo makes at a sub par standard.

Finally what you have all been waiting for... Matt and Bobby weigh in with their expert opinions on the Hogwarts Legacy Drama. Despite the drama Hogwarts Legacy is doing absolutely insane numbers and people (expect for Wired) seem to love the game.

Microsoft has a choice to make... a long term deal with Sony/Nintendo/Steam to put Call of Duty on their platforms ooooooor sell off Call of Duty. Honestly it is disrespectful that no one is trying to get World of Warcraft on their platform. Please bring it to Xbox please... we are so close to WoW on console.

While Bobby is away Matt invites Sam from Xhibition Podcast to discuss all things Xbox and PlayStation. Matt and Sam discuss the 343 restructure and the future of Halo? With a focus on multiplayer rumored and an outside developer working on Project T (a Halo Battle Royal); will we ever get a Halo Co-Op Campaign Again? Sam provides a less bias opinion of the Xbox Developer Direct. The "directness" of this small showcase was refreshing, but Matt expresses his distaste for needing to level set his expectations. The Xbox Earnings reports are out and Matt discusses what these results mean for the future of Xbox and how they can move forward from declining in every metric besides Gamepass Subs. Sam reminds Matt and the Audience that all hop is not yet lost and the answer is in the Games themselves. Matt and Sam look at the fantastic Sony Earnings Report and discuss how important titles like God of War and Horizon Forbidden West have been for Sony in 2022 and early 2023. Closing the show with thoughts about PSVR2 rumors and the PS5 shortage being completely over.

Matt and Bobby start the show by discussing Matt's birthday and the addition to his Naruto, Funko Pop, and Controller Collection. The Boys transition topics to Faze Clan stock. At the time of recording FAZE is currently trading at 75 cents and is in danger of getting delisted from the stock exchange. What was once a huge win for the video game industry seems like a huge mistake. Matt and Bobby discuss The Last of Us Tv show and what Matt has been playing (hint it was 20 hours of Seikro... maybe) The Q2 earnings report comes out for Microsoft, and the report is extremely lack luster with, 1st and 3rd party sales, hardware sales, and many other metrics dipping from previous quarters. The only saving grace is that Gamepass subs are up, but how much of a double edge sword has Gamepass become? Xbox continues to be in the news cycle with a "you either loved it or hated it" Developer Direct. We see release dates for title like Minecraft Legends, Redfall, an ESO expansion, and the shadow drop of Hi-Fi Rush.

First up, we have a story about Ubisoft, one of the largest game publishers in the world. According to a recent report in The Washington Post, Ubisoft is set to release a new game called "Strike" that will feature a new type of gameplay that combines elements of both first-person shooters and massively multiplayer online games. The article states that the game will be set in a futuristic world and will allow players to team up and take on missions together. This sounds like a really exciting development and we can't wait to see more details about this game in the future.

Next, we're going to talk about the topic of game remakes. Recently, IGN published an article discussing the importance of remakes being more than just HD clones of old games. The article states that remakes should be more than just a simple graphical upgrade and should instead offer new gameplay elements, improved mechanics and updated stories. This is a valid point and we hope to see more game remakes that offer new and improved experiences for players.

We also have a story about the critically acclaimed game "The Last of Us." According to Forbes, the game has received an overwhelming response from both critics and audiences alike. The article states that the game has received near-perfect scores from many reviewers and has also been a commercial success. This is a remarkable achievement and it's a testament to the hard work and dedication of the developers.

Another interesting story is about Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, who recently spoke about the need for game companies to turn away from dividing players and creators. According to Video Games Chronicle, Spencer believes that companies should focus on creating a positive and inclusive environment for players and developers alike. This is a great point and we hope to see more companies adopt this philosophy in the future.

Lastly, we have a story about Activision Blizzard and NetEase, two major players in the gaming industry. According to GamesIndustry.biz, Activision Blizzard has claimed that NetEase rejected a proposal to extend their partnership in China. This is a significant development and it will be interesting to see how this affects both companies in the future.

On this week's episode, Bobby & Matt break down the business behind the world of gaming.

First up, we'll be talking about Sony's new accessibility controller, Project Leonardo, which was recently revealed for the PlayStation 5. Project Leonardo is designed to make gaming more accessible for players with disabilities, and we'll be discussing what this means for the future of accessibility in gaming.

Next, we'll be covering the release of the Xbox Adaptive Controller, which was developed in partnership with organizations that serve players with disabilities. This controller allows players to customize their setup and access a wide range of games, and we'll be discussing what this means for the accessibility of the Xbox platform.

We'll also be discussing the ongoing legal battle between Microsoft and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC has accused Microsoft of monopolistic practices, and although Microsoft initially accused the FTC of acting unconstitutionally, it has since walked back those accusations. We'll be discussing the latest developments in this case and what it could mean for Microsoft and the gaming industry as a whole.

We'll also be discussing the recent approval of the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard merger in Chile, and the reported cancellation of at least five games by Wizards of the Coast. And finally, we'll be discussing the success of Marvel's "Snap" in-game event, which has reportedly generated over $30 million in global consumer spending.

We'll also be discussing the latest developments in the world of gaming, including the ongoing sales battle between the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.

According to VGChartz, the PlayStation 5 has outsold the Xbox Series X|S in the US in November 2022, with the PlayStation 5 selling over 1.5 million units compared to the Xbox Series X|S's 1.2 million units. We'll be discussing what this means for the future of the console wars and what factors may have contributed to these sales numbers.

We'll also be discussing a recent article from Reuters about the future of gaming in China. The Chinese government recently lifted a freeze on new gaming licences, which has led to speculation about the potential for new gaming companies to enter the market. We'll be discussing what this could mean for the gaming industry in China and the potential impact on the global market.

Join us as we explore these exciting developments in the world of gaming.

Bobby & Matt sit down with Head of Gaming at VaynerSports Darren Glover to discuss content the business of esports, NFT's in video games and most importantly what is the best Apex loadout.

Darren is passionate about the challenge to keep a brand (personal and corporate) relevant in the eyes, minds and hearts of people (customers/consumers/fans). His north star is creating demand for the brand, content and experiences fostered; our audience is in complete control of their attention, so before a message or story can be communicated, the brand has to earn that attention. Connecting brands to culture is the unlock, and the only way to truly win is with a community around you.
