Could the latest installment of Call of Duty be the most successful yet? Join us as we unpack the groundbreaking achievements of Black Ops 6 and its unforeseen triumph on platforms like Sony and Steam. With franchise veteran Miles Leslie giving us insider insights, we compare Call of Duty's half a billion sales milestone to the iconic Grand Theft Auto series. From our personal gaming escapades to the thrilling multiplayer experiences, this episode is a treat for both seasoned gamers and newcomers. We'll even tackle the all-important debate: campaign mode or multiplayer madness?

The world of gaming is vast, and we venture into discussing the highs and lows of major franchises. From the enduring appeal of FIFA and Mario to the struggles faced by once-greats like Halo and Gears of War, we cover it all. Plus, we offer a balanced take on the PlayStation 5 Pro, with opinions from IGN and Engadget to help you decide if it's truly worth the upgrade. And for those curious about the gaming charts, we've got the latest on October's top downloaded PlayStation games, where some classics just refuse to exit the stage.

But it's not all games and gadgets; we also delve into the real-world impacts of Sony's recent studio closures affecting 210 employees and the bittersweet farewell of Cobra Kai's final season. To lift the mood, we share a humorous family gaming challenge featuring Josh, our honorary "Wangster of the Week," and wrap things up with some light-hearted banter about weekend plans and a spontaneous Disney on Ice outing. So, whether you're tuning in for insights, laughs, or a bit of both, this episode has something for everyone!

Speaker 1:

Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Trafficking Show. I'm your host, mike Sansom, chilling with my co-hosts Simply amazing what I'm doing today. Everybody give it up for Mr Amazing. Up to today's Game of Trafficking Show we're going to talk about Mr Amazing Call of Duty. Continue to make bank Damn it, even it's on. To talk about Mr Amazing Call of Duty, continuum Bank Damn it, even it's on. Game Pass, mr Amazing.

Speaker 2:

I thought it was going to take a doubtful, yeah, but what was.

Speaker 1:

I wrong. Call of Duty just keep on coming. We're also going to talk about the top downloaded game for PlayStation 5, Mr Amazing. The tips keep on coming, Yo. But we also are going to talk about our Trail of the Week. We'll let you know our Trail of the Week, but beginning today's show talking about Mr Amazing, Call of Duty.

Speaker 2:

Call of Duty baby. Black Ops 6 is out in stores now and it launches to record sales. And now that it's launches to record sales, and now it doesn't launch to record sales, people saw Sony excuse me, not Sony, sony and Steam saw 60% jump in sales of their hardware consoles with the launching of the Black Ops 6. So Black Ops 6, everybody is Black Ops 6, everybody's getting paid.

Speaker 2:

People thought, oh, with it being a game pass, that it wasn't going to be the same, it wasn't going to be that. But boy were we wrong. It was quite the opposite, because this game comes with a brand new engaging experience with the campaign and multiplayer, and the campaign's actually gotten good reviews. Oh see, it's just, it's crazy, because I wanted to play the campaign on my son's PlayStation, but yo, it was so big, that's the thing. I was like damn, I felt bad downloading it anyway because it's not my Sony. I was like, whatever, I'm still downloading it, it's yours. So I downloaded it on his Sony, so I'm going to play it this weekend on his, because I was like how you put this thing on my thing, but wow.

Speaker 1:

Oh, he only got the multiplayer part.

Speaker 2:

He didn't download the campaign, but I did it when he went downstairs. I just downloaded it on his Sony.

Speaker 1:

He downloaded that.

Speaker 2:

He knows that because he's mad. What you did that for? Whatever, he can delete it afterwards.

Speaker 1:

I want to play the campaign part in the zombies.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, that looks fun too actually.

Speaker 1:

The multiplayer I might play. If Tyler's online, Yo, I brought your team, then I'll play it.

Speaker 2:

But I have no interest in playing it by myself. I'm going to get whipped. I'm way off.

Speaker 1:

Unless I have a squad, I am not playing no Call of Duty by myself. So I get my butt whipped and badly, badly butt whipped.

Speaker 2:

And very soon this week they have season one kicks off, so they're already jumping right into the hype of things. So that's pretty cool and a figure. I gotta give Call of Duty credit for this. The franchise has hit half a billion sales Currently. It hit it yeah, it hit it Half a billion sales, not Black Ops, but the franchise in general hits half a billion sales. That says a lot. That says a lot.

Speaker 1:

According to the Washington Post, there's a 500 million figure, which was reached prior to Black Ops 6.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's not counting Black Ops 6. That's not even counting Black Ops 6. So it's way more than that. Now, michael, that's crazy. You don't see those kind of figures that easily. When it comes to gaming, that's a great milestone, unless you're talking about Grand Theft Auto baby.

Speaker 1:

Oh, they're doing Grand.

Speaker 2:

Theft Auto. You're right, there's only one other series that could probably do that, and that's Grand. Not probably it is doing that, it's Grand Theft Auto you're right.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying. That's the king baby. Yeah, definitely so. Like I said, I'm not the biggest Grand Theft Auto I mean Call of Duty fan, but the press is sales and most times I just play the campaign.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, now I just play the campaign mode, Because I hop on one thing and play it and I'm dead in less than five seconds. So I'd rather watch other people play and enjoy their success.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, and according to a recent interview with BBC, miles Leslie, a 16-year veteran of the Call of Duty franchise for Treyarch, stated that Steam and PlayStation base sales of Black Ops 6 have been dozed on Modern Warfare 3 by 60%. Oh wow.

Speaker 2:

That goes to show you the success of this game.

Speaker 1:

It's a good game. I mean, it's one of the biggest franchises in the world.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, of course, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

I mean on an assistant basis. What do you think of the three, we'll say five biggest franchises of gaming?

Speaker 2:

Franchises of just gaming. Gaming, oh, number one is Mario, not Franchises of just gaming. Gaming, oh, number one is Mario, not number one. But no particular order, but I'm going to, I'm going to go with Mario, because that's the one I always do.

Speaker 1:

I think you got to say Mario, because it's the one that's long-standing you just said one of them, grand Theft Auto.

Speaker 2:

Yes, call of Duty is definitely there. That's three. You got to put Madden in. That puts up numbers, man it just puts up numbers. Out of all sports games, I think Madden is the one. Fifa, you're right, fifa's there too.

Speaker 1:

Now FIFA's there, you're right, so you have to five. I totally agree with all five of them.

Speaker 2:

That's four. That's four, though we said yeah, because we took out, we took FIFA for Madden.

Speaker 1:

And then oh, FIFA for Madden in there. You can throw Madden in there.

Speaker 2:

I was trying to avoid going to two sports games.

Speaker 1:

Sports games, I mean, let's say, let's give it another sports game, madden, what else?

Speaker 2:

So we said, refresh my memory, we got Mario, call of Duty, grand Theft Auto, fifa and one more. Who are you giving that last slot to 4-0,? Fifa and one more. Who are you giving that last?

Speaker 1:

slot to. I have things in my head I can't say it's evil. It is very popular.

Speaker 2:

It's popular, but not.

Speaker 1:

But not money-wise.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, and that's the same reason why I can't say Uncharted, because it hasn't been enough for them, for me.

Speaker 1:

There's enough Uncharted but, like I said, the legacy is not as long as the whole series and also the money, why I don't think they made that much money on the combine.

Speaker 2:

I can say the same thing about this, given what I'm about to mention, but the numbers say that it's worth it. What, god of War? The money says it's worth it, though, come on.

Speaker 1:

The money says it's worth it has a long longevity For the combined sales of God of War. God of War.

Speaker 2:

It was the give of the decade, the God of War, the 2018 one, all right.

Speaker 1:

So I mean we'll go with God of War. God of War, I think, God of War gets it.

Speaker 2:

How about Halo? I think it got hurt.

Speaker 1:

What happened to it recently?

Speaker 2:

Last two years. Yeah, it hurt, especially last, this recent one. Heard it, so no, it would have been in the conversation, but it fell off, and just same thing. I can say the same thing about Gears of War.

Speaker 1:

Gears of War I promise.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it had a lot of problems, but that took too much, it took too long to make coming between, and then one of them was just so. So, yeah, that's okay. So I'm content with the list I just gave.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, sir well, mr, amazing what are we jumping into? We're gonna jump into, mr Amazing.

Speaker 2:

we're gonna jump into guess what uh oh, good news or bad news?

Speaker 1:

I don't know it depends what side you're on.

Speaker 2:

Ooh, alright, bring it to me, bring it to me.

Speaker 1:

PlayStation Pro reviews are out. Mr Amazing, oh okay, some good, mostly some good and some okay.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I can't even think of a PlayStation 7 bad review for that system.

Speaker 1:

Go ahead, put them to me. Ign gave it a 7. I mean that's good, but that's low to me. Okay, we'll go to Engadget. Okay, they Slow to me. Okay, we'll go to Engadget. Okay. They stated PlayStation 5 Pro is a powerful console ever made, but you pay dearly for its performance. The PlayStation 4 clearly isn't meant for anyone who prioritizes value, unless I don't know, unless, of course, you are comparing it to a full-fledged gaming PC. If you want 4K like graphics with ray tracing and 60 frames per second, the PlayStation Pro is simply your best choice for under $1,000.

Speaker 2:

That damn near worth near it though.

Speaker 1:

GameRadar UK gave $80,000. $8,000 pretty much We'll say $8,000. Game Hub gave it $8,000. Game Radar gave it a $7,000. Ign let's see what they gave it a $7,000. At $700, it's not cheap, not at all. So you really have to decide the visual upgrade, knowing it doesn't transform the gameplay experience as a fundamental level and, to be fair, sony never said it wouldn't so as if the stand as it stands, the PlayStation Pro isn't essential. No freaking kidding IGN.

Speaker 2:

They had to throw the one-two in there.

Speaker 1:

It's one thing that people say, well, it's not necessary, Look it's a do what it's supposed to do it is. That's all that matters. You don't need to get one. That's what people say oh, you're not worth. If you got a PlayStation 5, get it. If you go for the PlayStation Pro and you want that, get it. Exactly, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:

Like for me, if I got a PlayStation Pro, to me it's like I got the PlayStation 8. Because I'm coming from a 1080, y'all, I'm coming from a 1080 TV to a Pro. It's a big deal for me.

Speaker 1:

You just need a new TV, mr Maze, I know.

Speaker 2:

I just need a new TV, you're right, but no real talk, though. I mean, like Mike said, man, if you got it, get it. You know, do you need it? No, but if you got it, get it.

Speaker 1:

If you have the money you want it, get it, get it. Like I said, it's talking console release we could talk about. Yeah, so that's. I mean it keeps Sony's thing in the news. But also, mr A, the plus side of this it's the new one selling console on Amazon.

Speaker 2:

Oh, wow, that's brand new, so it makes sense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but you know what I'm talking about Xbox. Nah, the new one, didn't the new one? Come out it, and then a new one come out, it's already it is right With a two terabyte.

Speaker 2:

It's already, is it out?

Speaker 1:

I don't know how YouTubers have it. I don't know if it's out. I believe it's out, it's out, I mean it's out, then I'm looking to that.

Speaker 2:

Actually, I believe it's out. Nobody's talking about it. That's true too.

Speaker 1:

They do. One is white, one is black, with little silver sparks on it. What I'm gonna say? I call it freckles and my thing is like nobody's, that's cause they ain't got no gays man, if you had gays, you could talk about it oh, mr Amazing, they come in strong with Indiana.

Speaker 2:

Jones, that should look forward. But hey, guess what? Three weeks, three months, four months later I can get another Sony Pro.

Speaker 1:

You might say a minute later.

Speaker 2:

I know pretty much.

Speaker 1:

And they also got Stalker 2 coming out. Okay, fair, you know what I'm saying, but no, you don't need it. No, you don't, you know what? I'm saying you don't need it. But a lot of stuff in life we don't need but we get it. Yeah, that's true. If your heart desires to get it, go get it.

Speaker 2:

Listen y'all. Mike probably got one downstairs, yeah, but I do got one downstairs. I probably do got one downstairs. You got one downstairs. You know what?

Speaker 1:

I'm saying I ain't going to tell Mr Maze it. I got a lot of buffalo wings. I got a lot of buffalo wings and the funny thing lie, mr Mays will lowball you. It's work, though it's work.

Speaker 2:

I got a 360. Guess how much I got my 360 for? No one's going to believe this. $100. And this is the height of it. When it first came out, I got it for $100. Playstation you are. It was $100, right, I think it was $150. You were the extra $50. Well, guess what it was at the height.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I think the only systems I paid full price for was my PS5 and, ladies and gentlemen, my Nintendo Not Switch, it's Switch 2, but the Wii. I think I said it'd be at full price.

Speaker 1:

Did I give you guys a PlayStation 4? A PlayStation 4? The disc drive wasn't working, though.

Speaker 2:

Maybe Tyler. Yeah, tyler got the disc drive, the PlayStation 4, I bought the Drake Collection one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think I gave him that one and also the Xbox. Didn't they get the VCR Xbox?

Speaker 2:

You might have. I have so many Xboxes at the house I'm like where'd they come from? I don't know where these systems come from. Did they buy this?

Speaker 1:

But yeah, yeah. So, mr Amazing, will you get a PlayStation Pro? You ain't got one of the five and everybody got bills.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we're adults here. Yeah, you know. Do I want one? Yeah, but am I going to get it? No, I would like that too. That's the one I'll be like yeah, I'll get that.

Speaker 1:

The only thing is that if I had to do it over again regarding the PlayStation Pro console, PlayStation 5 console, just in general, I'll give it a bigger terror drive.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely I agree, because I bought mine a year ago. It's probably filled up. Yeah, I bought mine a year ago and I'm like, damn, I don't play that many games. Like you know, I'm mostly here playing games with you. But I was like, nah, I need that too, because lately I've been buying a lot of games.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because you buy a lot of games. Let's say, if you bought the Call of Duty, then you bought Silent Hill, then you bought another game. Then they say the Wolf game. We call what's the game by SNK which one you talk about. City of Wolves. That comes out, oh yeah yeah, yeah, other characters, oh no, it's gonna fill up it fills up, I should've got 2K also yeah, cause I got, we got 4K we would save up the extra dollars no 5K, we still have 4TB, I mean 4TB.

Speaker 1:

It's part of me yeah, um, yeah, yeah, because I got the one one terabyte extra. Yeah, I got that too. I wish I had got two terabytes me too.

Speaker 2:

I definitely wish I did that. That's the most I did. I mean, we can still get it, but it's just like I gotta spend.

Speaker 1:

I still have 100. I'm trying to think how do you switch? How do you gotta switch? Come on, you gotta switch it out, what you gonna do with the extra things it's or switched over to a standard drive, whatever.

Speaker 1:

But, Mr Amazing, let's go to this. Mr Amazing, back to Sony. No, Spider-Man DLC, disappointment, disappointment. People were so, oh, begging for this, mr Amazing. They were Waiting. Anticipating Sony said hell, no, it's not happening. Mr Amazing, how do you feel about that? Yeah, anticipating Sony said hell, no, it's not happening. It's amazing. How do you feel about that? Yeah let's go deeper into that yeah, cause Sony.

Speaker 2:

You know, insomniac had people. There was two narratives, there was two loose ends, pretty much a sequel or the rumored Venom spin-off. Is that what it was? Yeah, and we all got teased when they got. When Sony got hacked, yeah, where we saw some stuff, but they scrapped everything off.

Speaker 1:

Even the multiplayer games. Even the yeah and they didn't notice until the video of that. I wasn't playing that multiplayer game, exactly.

Speaker 2:

And for a $70 price point. A lot of people feel like it doesn't warrant that, because the game was even that long, if you know. If you know, I haven't played it yet, though actually, what Five man 2? Yeah, it's not that long of a game. People say, well, how long you want the game to be? I guess, like the last one, the first one, the first one was long. It was pretty decent. It was pretty long. No, I played the game.

Speaker 1:

I played that game. I played over 20 hours in that game.

Speaker 2:

No, it's definitely more than 20 hours. I was comparing your hours and my hours For both games I played over 20 hours, yeah, but the first one is way longer than the second one though I played both too, I think over 20 hours.

Speaker 1:

I think I have to look, but I more stuff outside gigs with it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know me, I like those side missions stuff.

Speaker 1:

I thought Miles Riles was longer, but I didn't play like 13 hours.

Speaker 2:

Miles was short. No, that was a short game. Yeah, I beat that game short too.

Speaker 1:

I was satisfied with that game, because you can still do little side missions, stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

But I've been fed up saying that Price Point doesn't satisfy it though.

Speaker 1:

But everybody, I that's a good joke.

Speaker 2:

But do you think Insomniac scrapped that because of the the leaks, the leaks and the reviews? People probably saw it Like oh no, that's not it. Or maybe they're still working on it and they just don't want to see.

Speaker 1:

Look at that and of course it's the budget.

Speaker 2:

You got other stuff to do at any time and then you know they won't do that.

Speaker 1:

Venom game. Yeah, you know they're probably going to do that. So I mean it sucks Because the previous Spy I mean because the previous Spy had three DLCs, yeah, yeah, so they were probably anticipating that.

Speaker 2:

And, who knows, maybe they might still do it, but they're trying to keep it on, hush-hush on, like last time.

Speaker 1:

So it could be that too. So we don't know. My PlayStation Pro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Spider-Man edition. I got the. It was told that I was going to get the.

Speaker 2:

DLC, dlc. I remember when you first got that you was playing, I was like yo, this game looks hot.

Speaker 1:

I remember that you know what I'm saying, so sorry people.

Speaker 2:

Those are my best those are my best DLC. I'm going to get this game. This is going to Black Friday game Astro Bot. You know, I was thinking about buy two, get one free. I was thinking what games am I going to get? Mike, you just got me my third game, so it's going to be Astro Bot, spider-man, and then the third free one I don't know what it's going to be actually, but I got two, though. At least I got two. Now I was thinking, oh, you don't got 2K25?.

Speaker 2:

Nah because we haven't jumped into the basketball season yet.

Speaker 1:

We're still all maddened. We can jump in now. We've got a lot of stuff to play. We still maddened. We still got a lot of stuff. Believe me, we got a lot of stuff to play. We do, we definitely do, we do. But Mr Amazing, let's go on to Mr Amazing, the top downloaded game on PlayStation for October. Mr Lennon, can you reveal it to everybody?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

That's where I started. 6 Madden Yep Silent Hill.

Speaker 1:

Silent Hill number 4 Undisputed.

Speaker 2:

Now we get to the top 3.

Speaker 1:

Undisputed Top 2 Now is Dragon Ball, sparky Zero and the King of Kings of.

Speaker 2:

The top three are pretty much the three recent games actually. So what about surprise? It's just the fact that Dragon Ball at one point was killing it and that didn't last too long. But Dragon Ball sold very well too, actually.

Speaker 1:

You know what's funny? We look at the placing of four lists In the place. In the four list, injustice 2 is number 20. Get out of here. Watchdog 2? Number 12? Wow, far Cry 5, number 13. Hogger's Legacy number 14. Black Ops 3, number 15. Wow, minecraft 2, number 1. The Crew 2?

Speaker 2:

Do you get the Hogcar Hog? Oh my God, hogwarts game. Do you have the Hogwarts game? Do you have that? No, I'm surprised that you got it. You usually get everything. I don't even have that.

Speaker 1:

Marvel vs Camel Fight Collection. Players 4 is number 3. I wonder if people consider that downloading PS4, you're playing on PS5, blah, blah, blah. Batman, arkham Knight number 11 on. Ps4. That's including downloads for the US and Canada, but I won't go more into it it's not bad, though, man. You know, sony has a nice listing alright, mr Amazing, are you surprised by any of this?

Speaker 2:

not at all. The top 3 is exactly what I thought it would be Black Ops, dragon Ball, sparkling and number three Undisputed.

Speaker 1:

Sparkling.

Speaker 2:

I'm tired Sparking zero. So it rounded up to what I expected, to be honest with you. So that's not bad, not a bad list. Sony's having a good month. I should say month, month and a half.

Speaker 1:

I mean, like I said, we're going to top downloads.

Speaker 2:

But these are all top end games. These are games that are selling very well, mr Amazing.

Speaker 1:

Sad news Uh-oh, sony closed two studios. I heard you want to go into, mr Amazing.

Speaker 2:

Sony Interactive Entertainment is shutting down Neon Koi and Firewalk Studio.

Speaker 1:

The makers of Concord.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Concord is by Firewalk Studios.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, everybody knows that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, everybody knows that, because that game lasted what? Two weeks after eight years.

Speaker 1:

Two weeks.

Speaker 2:

Two days, practically right, two years, it felt like two days. And then the other one, neocon. I cup of coffee the last long in the car. Neocon was developing an action mobile game. So pretty much Sony gave the whole strategic to business goals, the studio, business group, the speech talk. That's what we shouldn't do. Now, pretty much, you guys ain't doing nothing for us. Let's keep it real, sony.

Speaker 1:

That's what it does, and it lost between $340 million investing in Firewalker Studios Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

So then Sony went out to also say hey guys, I know we're closing two studios. What does that come with Layoffs? So this is going to affect 210 employees 172 from Firewalk and 38 from Neon. But Hoss.

Speaker 1:

When they close the studio now, when the hell is the headquarters going to?

Speaker 2:

do jobs. No, no, no. Hoss the CEO said no guys, don't worry, guess what? We're going to relocate a lot of these guys to other studios where possible. The key word is where possible.

Speaker 1:

So out of those 210 people, probably like seven people are going to get a job in your house with you, yo, that's what it said, because usually some of the late officers they have openings at some of these studios. No, they do, they do. They often might offer somebody an opportunity.

Speaker 2:

Of course you get first dibs. You're already in the door, so but pretty much at a 210, someone will get jobs. That's a good news. Sony is trying to relocate some of the workers, but it just sucks because it shows you underperformance comes with job loss.

Speaker 1:

And that's just anything in life, especially with games that cost that much money they expect results.

Speaker 2:

They expect results, man we looked at it.

Speaker 1:

Many people looked at it like oh, a lot of people might say what do you call racial identity, whatever? Whoever they call it, now play the role. No, they play the role. This was not cool, the game it was not cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I agree, and the problem is they wanted to build a story off the characters do a little animated series. No, the problem is they wanted to build a story off the characters Do a little animated series. No, the problem is they should have made a game, made an action game, one player action game With the characters Switch out to the characters Agreed. Then had a multiplayer with that game Agreed.

Speaker 2:

If they made a good single player game With a good multiplayer aspect of it, they would make their money, yeah it was just too much going on and I know it's an 8 year project just to be shut down in a blink of an eye.

I do like. I love Kiki Palmer, I like Cat Williams. This is okay with me. Issa Rae, I love. I'm gonna yellow light it. I need a little bit more. I need a little bit more, not to say it's not going to be a good movie, though I mean it's hard. I didn't see enough, to be honest with you, from this trailer for me to see I'm nose diving.

Speaker 1:

I agree with you.

Speaker 2:

I want to say Green Light, I want to say Green 2, but I need a little bit more because I do, like everybody just mentioned Beyonce with you but I just need a little bit more.

Speaker 1:

One see that yeah yeah, I agree, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Yellow, light yellow light's not bad, because guess what we're singing. Give Me a Chance. It's not like when Michael blew it with last year's Christmas movie. What was it again? What was the movie? What was the Santa Claus movie that you said was going to be whack? What was it again? Santa Claus Rock movie. No, I liked that movie. You liked it after you saw it. Now we see the trailer.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, I said it was good, I said it was good. What was the name of it? The guy who, the guy who I thought it was Gonna be good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was good After you saw it. No, I said, it was good. You're the one that said You're the one that said it was crap.

Speaker 1:

Who else is gonna see?

Speaker 2:

Santa Claus thing You're awesome.

Speaker 1:

You're the one that said it was crap. I, I was for it, I was for it.

Speaker 2:

We gotta go back to the taste, because I remember you were with me on this one. No, I was for it, you were with me on this one, I was for it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I was for it.

Speaker 2:

Well, for this one I'm going to yellow light. It you can say Winnie the Pooh.

Speaker 1:

The honey kill whatever blood honey. Winnie the Pooh yeah, you can say that That'd be good, right, it makes some decent money. It's a proper rule. You know what I'm saying? I want to see Mickey Mouse like to get that. I want to see Mickey Mouse like kill people.

Speaker 2:

That'd be sad.

Speaker 1:

That'd be funny as hell. I'd be getting my butt off. Kill him, kill Minnie, kill Minnie. I can understand her. She's a gold digger. Anyway, you deserve it, oh man, you know what I'm saying and then you go face. What is it? Donald Duck's piece of pediment.

Speaker 2:

What the hell are you saying to me? Shut up. I want you to do this.

Speaker 1:

So, mr Amazing, yes, sir, a shoot me care. Topic All right. Has Sony lost its touch, mr Amazing?

Speaker 2:

Why are we saying that?

Speaker 1:

for man Because the recent screw-ups. We got Concord they wasted over $300 to $40 million in that. Mr Amazing, only one exclusive game that came out this year, okay. On the studio not including a Horizon Lego game? Okay, mr Amazing Mm-hmm, the VR they brought out to almost die. Sales have improved because of the price cut. That happened. I bought one Okay.

Speaker 2:

I still haven't seen it. I want to check that out.

Speaker 1:

You got to check it out. Like I said, meme has got a lot of catch up to do in the next couple of months. Yeah, I want to check that out. You know what I'm saying. Also, the price of the PlayStation Pro, which I disagree with people talking about, is now the price is outrageous. What kind of price she wanted to be? Guys, you know what I'm saying. And no system price, because which is going across all the boards or all the systems, and we're not hurting anything in reference to what's next for PlayStation. So should we care a lot, a little or not at all? Mr M, not at all, not at all Spain.

Speaker 2:

Why not at all? I'm going to go not at all because, like in the movie theaters, in any genre, whatever it is, you're going to have great years, you're going to have slow years. So we had a slow year, but for a slow year. Guess what I guarantee. If you look at the numbers, they probably had the top selling game one of the top selling games dropped this year.

Speaker 1:

Asked about as drop this here. Astro Bot has sold, has sales, probably we'll say the sales of 100 made over no 1. So, no sorry, sold over 1.5 million units, astro Bot. That goes to show you what do you think will be the final sales unit for Astro Bot. I'm thinking 5 million. That's about right. I think five million is dead in.

Speaker 2:

But you know there's going to be Gale season and everything coming out for it too.

Speaker 1:

There's free Gale season and stuff like that. I think it'll still be. I think it'll still be five million. I think it will.

Speaker 2:

I think it'll do that.

Speaker 1:

At the end of the day sold next year.

Speaker 2:

I'm getting my cap. I'm waiting for Black Friday to get buy two, get one free. It's not happening. It happens every year. It happens every year, so it won't be my two games. I told you you probably try to pick up and it'll be gone. I hope not, because I already got my plan. Sony had a slow year, but I don't take anything away, because guess what they can back next year. It just dropped a whole bunch of gems and everybody's talking about them and we're still talking about them. What's the most talked about system this year? It's Sony. Sony dropped an Adversary, a Pro, a VR.

Speaker 1:

I mean they dropped a lot of stuff and you say the PlayStation Portal is a top 10 video game accessory. There you go, there we go, and the PlayStation Pro is the one selling gaming console on Amazon from several countries.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I guarantee you, if you look at the cross-platform games, I bet you more games were bought on the Sony and played. So, I think it's something for us not to care at all. I don't think, like I said, they come back next year stronger than ever. I don't think I think Sony can come back. Like I said, they come back next year stronger than ever. So, no, I don't worry at all to answer your question. What about you?

Speaker 1:

I think there's nothing to worry about. As of November 8th, sony has announced that it sold over 65 million consoles.

Speaker 2:

Pssst, wow enough said, enough said my friend.

Speaker 1:

Nothing to dispute here yeah, and they did make a profit. They continue to make a profit on the PS5 division oh, ok, ok ok well, the.

Speaker 2:

PlayStation division overall. Oh so they're good. Nothing for us to worry about.

Speaker 1:

Nothing for us to worry about, mike man so do we care a lot, a little not at all.

Speaker 2:

Not at all for me, not at all. Playstation they're good.

Speaker 1:

They're good, they're good, but I would say Sound Alarm. Nothing happening next year.

Speaker 2:

Well then, yeah, next year you can Sound Alarm.

Speaker 1:

We're messing with the game. Well, next year's about games and plus a little discount on the consoles would help that. Would help that would help Appreciate that. Well, Mr Mason, do you have a gangster or gangster for this week?

Speaker 2:

Do we have a gangster or gangster for this week? I don't think I have one man. Nah, I don't have one, Do you?

Speaker 1:

You don't have one, nah, I'm sure you don't have one.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you don't have one. No, I'm sure you don't have one. Oh, should I have one? My nephew bro. I ain't going to play him. I said you're going to use him.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're right, you know what? That's what I'm waiting for.

Speaker 2:

You know what? It's my nephew. My nephew, it's a straight up you want to give names. No, no names I got several nephews, but specifically one nephew he's a workster. Give him a name. Forget that. You know what Josh. Give him a name.

Speaker 2:

Josh is a workster. My teenage nephew came to me talking about Unc I can beat you in these gays. I said let's go. We started off with 2K25. Beat up. Whooped that booty. Whooped up, took him to Undisputed. Whipped that booty. All he was doing was throwing big and powerful punches. Guess what? Beat up. Then he wanted his other uncle, my brother. He wanted to play him Madden. And guess what happened? Destroyed where he plugged. Damn, he pulled the plug.

Speaker 1:

He pulled the plug. Wait, wait, wait what he?

Speaker 2:

did? He turned the game off. He was getting blown out. He turned the game off. So, ladies and gentlemen, the Wangster of the week goes to Josh. Oh, I don't make sure I play this for him too, yo.

Speaker 1:

Damn Mr Amazing. I don't make sure I play this for him, but, like I said, game of Travel Show. We hold no punches, we don't care, you can get it. You can get it too. Yep, not at all, we don't get it too. Mr Basic can get it.

Speaker 2:

We got it, I've gotten it. I've gotten it. It's all good, we've gotten it.

Speaker 1:

So it's okay. It's okay, but a shot that we go to, I know it passed by the LA Dodgers World Championships. I hate those guys. We didn't do that. We didn't do that.

Speaker 2:

I thought we did, we did, I thought, we did Well whatever, we'll do it again. They get it. I mean nothing else to talk about.

Speaker 1:
