Predicting PlayStation 5 -- CLS Side Quest
In late 2019, chances are PlayStation 5 (or whatever it’ll be called) will launch. So let’s start framing the conversation around the new upcoming Sony console. How can Sony convince tens of millions of happy gamers that they need something new? What studios should be ready to go with games? What’s a good price point? This week’s Side Quest covers these preliminary PS5-related questions, and much more.
