What a massive, massive week of news. So much has happened.
Sony finally announced the price, the launch date and some launch games for the PS5, yet somehow we got more information from Geoff Keighley.
Microsoft bought Bethesda and Zenimax for $7.5bn! Doom! Elder Scrolls! Fallout! The lot! It’s crazy!
And Nintendo had another partner showcase mini direct thing.
Elsewhere, we go through the results of our predictions for the Sony show, but that’s all small-fry compared to the main event; MAT AND JAMES’ BET.
Strap in.
Games discussed: Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Paradise Killer, Frostpunk.
