Sacred Symbols+, Episode 365 | Analyzing the PlayStation Landscape with MysticRyan (Patreon)

Please welcome prolific YouTuber and PlayStation content creator MysticRyan to Sacred Symbols, perhaps our single most-requested guest in our podcast's history. Today, I (Colin) present to you a conversation with Ryan conducted with intent. After all, Ryan is one of the few people in the PlayStation space as immersed in its history, culture, and ecosystem as me, and such a combination no doubt proves fruitful over our two-plus hour chat. We start things off by talking about current-day PlayStation, how PS5 is doing, the state of the second party, and what the near-future might hold. But the bulk of our discourse actually revolves around Sony's family of studios. We go through each and every one (in alphabetical order!) to opine about its past, its present, and our expectations for what is hopefully a dynamic and bright future for each. If you're a PlayStation nerd like we are, well... this episode is tailor-made for you. Please enjoy.
