In this brand new episode, Wedbush Analyst Michael Pachter, Dishonored Co-Creative Director Harvey Smith and Penny Arcade Report Senior Reporter Ben Kuchera sit with us to discuss what we can expect from the game industry this Fall and beyond. What will Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo do to secure your holiday purchases? When will the Wii-U launch? Will Sony and Microsoft drop the prices of their consoles? Find out what our panel thinks in this brand new episode!
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
The full Skewedcast crew back for this episode and Gareth, Justin, Michael, and JoeyZ at Skewed and Reviewed break down the latest entertainment news qith a focus at 40:00 on the Microsoft Studio Closures and how it impacts the game community and what can be done to help offset this negative trend.
Xbox has repeated the same terrible mistakes for over a decade. The reason is simple: its priorities are back-to-front.
ohhh man, the press really did not like those last closures, their having a field day bashing xbox,
anyway, ive got to nip off to the shops now, i've run out of microwave popcorn.
The only point to xbox is and always has been to take market share and money from PlayStation and Nintendo, but mostly PlayStation. It's been the goal since sweaty Steve Balmer said it himself.
I mean the motto "xbox, the most optional console ever made" was peaked years ago, people are just now taking a step back from deepthroating Phil to see what we've all been seeing for a long time now.
I’ve still got friends that main on XB. For their sake, I hope it sticks around. They’ve put everything into that ecosystem. It’s all or nothing.
I wonder if we’ll ever get back the level of competition seen during the 360/PS3 era?
nintendo and a NEW IP damn that sounds so good till we get more of mario and zelda. Nintendo put so much effort into their old IP's that when they actually do something fresh and new they don't push it hard enough or its not as polished as zelda and mario.
i a going into wii-u with an open ind and trust in nintendo and i do hope wii-u gets better 3rd party support than wii did.
My prediction is that regardless people will continue to hate on Wii U even if its specs are were some how top of the line. They'll just move on to some other reason its a failure
wiiu is basically going to be the best system out there with the best games...since nintendo seems to be focus but sony and microsoft will copy it in a year but it will be too late
i really feel nintendo need to use the genesis does marketing for the wiiu against the ps3, xbox 360 and even against the wii......wiiu does what no other systems can do
