The PlayStation 5 generation will be the first of its kind: An era of console where we'll (presumably) have an entire back catalog of retail and digital titles from the previous gen at our immediate disposal. This, of course, raises an interesting question all about what the hardware's native launch lineup will be, and how Sony plans on playing its hand. On today's mailbag-centric episode of Plus, let's delve into what we might see come October or November, and how Worldwide Studios should tackle this very new (and frankly very good) problem. Plus: Are retro games aging poorly? Was The Wizard of Oz the archetype for the JRPG? Where's the mascot platformer renaissance we were promised? Is the industry rooting for Stadia to fail? How much gaming is too much gaming? All of that -- and more! -- on the other side of the play button.
