Well, the fateful day has come on this landmark podcast, as Paul says farewell as a regular podcast host. We can all look back at Jonah’s debut in episode 200, with the knowledge that the next episode will make him the longest running host or co-host on the show – and that’s just scary. A former host leaves a message as well.
This week’s news includes:
- Creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is crowdfunding a fighting game
- Xbox head discusses why Final Fantasy 14 is not on Xbox One
- Pachter: “The console installed base is as big as it’s ever going to get”
- Andrew House: the PS4 is struggling against censorship in China
- Analyst: 30 million VR headsets by 2020
The Question of the Week: “What’s the creepiest videogame you ever played?”
Congratulations to PopCap for showing why casual games will always be a viable market. Let’s put this in perspective, investors believe GTA IV will push 13-million sales by the end of 2008 and, as of January 2008, Halo 3 had sold 8 million copies. PopCap’s little casual game has hit 25 million units sold, that’s fairly impressive considering these blockbuster titles haven’t achieved such numbers.
