Show Notes
Welcome back to The Game Business Show! This week, we bring you a packed industry breakdown featuring Circana's Mat Piscatella, accessibility expert Jenna ‘Jennisary’, and gaming industry veteran Bing Gordon. We reveal it was Marvel’s Wolverine, not GTA 6, that actually moved PS5 hardware in September. And we look at why Xbox console numbers continue to slide despite Gears of War: E-Day’s release. We also look at the impact of removing Call of Duty from Game Pass on Day One, and what to make of the latest Nintendo Switch 2 numbers. Mat also discusses the potential impact of Grand Theft Auto and the variety of different games in the September charts. Plus, Jenna makes the commercial case for having blind and visually-impaired game accessibility options in your title, while EA legend Bing Gordon talks about his new book: Everybody Wins.
