Please keep talking about the commercial side of gaming. It's incredibly valuable first-hand insight, which is rare to find on YouTube. Enjoyed the episode overall! I know you're a busy man, but it'd be great to see more frequent episodes of the podcast. I know so many people who primarily 'listen' to YouTube these days vs just watching it, so I reckon this show could be a great vehicle to grow your channel.

Thanks @nxgamer! Can't wait to try PSVR 2 on PC!
-
Great episode. Got to say, I enjoy this Database series, considerably more than Digital Foundry’s Weekly Directs. Controversial, maybe?
-
The psvr2 price went back to normal now
-
Great episode, looking forward to the next 👍
-
Keep em coming,the financials,they speak the truth,as the saying goes,numbers don't lie!!

Not all devs want to make psvr2 versions of their games, so imo Sony should ve figure out a team specialized in porting third party games to VR, and sell "VR upgrades/mods" at 5$ or 10$ A VR team could port several games per year, for other teams to add VR is a new job but for a specialized team its the norm I hope Sony don't get rid of VR 😢😢😢

Showcasing SW:O without RT reflections in a scene like you showed around 33:00 with all those ugly SSR artifacts is really dumb on their part. That's not how state-of-the-art games of today should be showcased.
-
Mike, how is HL Alyx on Quest 3 vs PSVR2 on PC? Which one is better, you reckon?
-
chapter/timestamp for the section on ROM sites is of off/late, want's changing to 35 : 04

I actually finally bought psvr 2 off Facebook marketplace a couple months ago for the same price it is now I'm glad more people can get it at a totally fair price. PSVR 2 doesn't have a ton of titles but that's almost a good thing. I have a lot on my psvr1 backlog that I'll now never get to. The titles psvr2 has are actually great ones And GT7 is an absolute game changer.

A great day when a new db drops

Does the headset display HD HDR from the PC?
-
Nobody bought Braid a second time because nobody enjoyed it the first time. That game always sucked.
-
Definitely want the business analysis to continue. Can’t get that expert analysis anywhere else!
-
Bungie for $3.6 BILLI!? Eeeesh! Disney bought Star Wars for $4BN
-
Hehe, Xbox, go home.
-
Every Xbox fan already have their new Xbox now and that's about it. It's already respectable to hold half of Playstation's sales. I would be more worried for Nintendo as they are now on their own against a now blossomed Android/iOS mobile industry since they are bound to the children's gaming market. The fact that Nintendo now only sells OLED Switchs probably means that only their old fanbase are stille buying Nintendo consoles these days and their games are not selling that well.

Sony fanboys suddenly become experts on PCs and are claiming most PC gamers have BT which is patently false.
