Switch 2, PS5 Pro, Next Xbox: The State of Console Gaming | Spot On

With the PlayStation 5 Pro having been revealed and rumors swirling that the long-awaited successor to the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S|X are coming soon, it seems like the perfect time to take a closer look at the future of these companies, and console gaming in general.

In this week’s episode of Spot On, Tam and Lucy sit down to do just that, discussing not only their thoughts on the current direction of the company, but also what the public opinion seems to be. 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 worry 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 doesn’t introduce a new feature? The pair tackles all of these questions and more as they speculate about what the future of console gaming looks like.

Spot On is a weekly news show that airs on Fridays, where GameSpot’s managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James talk about the latest news in games. Given the highly dynamic and never-ending news cycle of the massive video game industry, there’s always something to talk about, but unlike most other news shows, Spot On delves deep into one topic rather than summarizing all the news. Spot On airs every Friday.
